2007 Lexus RX Brakes Problems

“Car has been making a clicking noise during stops for a year. I chalked it up to something unimportant. On 2/20/21, the 'check avs,' 'check ABS,' and 'check brake system' lights all came on, and car lurched while backing out of my driveway. I was driving my wife and daughter at the time. Brought Lexus to my local mechanic on 2/22/21. After several days, mechanic returned the car to me, saying he could hear the clicking and, according to his research, it could be the brake actuator given Lexus had done a warranty extension on this part in 2016. …”

“Check vsc system with accompanying continuous beep noise, brakes become hard to push/activate. This started a few weeks ago, and would happen intermittently, and progressively longer in the dysfunctional brakes phase. I had an employee at auto zone clear the code 2 days ago, but the problem started again, intermittently upon vehicle start, but would go away shortly, with normally responsive brakes. This intermittent issue occurs when I am driving, therefore this is a serious road hazard as my brakes become significantly less responsive when the problem occurs. …”

“The vsc failure, check hybrid system and ABS break system lights came on while driving the car on the street. Aside from being scary, it was difficult to drive the car and the breaking system felt spongy making it difficult to stop the car. The car is not turning on and all the lights on the dash are on. I replaced the battery. Yet the car does not turn on and the dashboard lights stay on. This is a serious safety issue that must be addressed by Lexus.”

“Brake actuator failure has been added to a bulletin for extended warranty and not a recall. This is a costly malfunction that toyota is aware of and they should take care of all vehicles as not to compromise braking and accident avoidance.”

“The lights all came on ABS system came on stabilizer air bag took to Lexus they diagnosed the problem as the brake actuator I research and found that on Lexus club this is a big problem with my year and other years they acknowledge this by giving an extended warranty. But fall short to assist with after. …”
