2008 Lexus RX350 Brakes Problems

“I had my foot on the brake pulling into a parking space when I felt a quick acceleration surging my car forward, locking my steering wheel causing me to plow onto a parked truck. I had to be towed to repair shop. Steering became difficult.”

“I was driving on a road, my vehicle began to shake until eventually dropping to the road and dragging until I could gain control of it , by applying the brakes. I noticed out of my driver's side window across the road was my tire rolling at a rapid speed. I called 911 to receive assistance to stop the traffic and to help with my disabled vehicle. Officers assisted with helping myself, my mother and my two toddlers out of the vehicle and to retrieve my tire. …”

“As a Lexus owner and international journalist (washington, dc) I hereby lodge a formal complaint against Lexus USA/tms offices in torrance, ca. My mother and I survived death, sustained traumatic serious injuries (which LED to my miscarriage) due to my Lexus car manufacturer defects and mechanical malfunctioning resulting in a loss of control collision on 09/21/2009. …”

“I no longer have the car but was repeatedly replacing the brakes rotors, brake pads and brakes themselves. Lexus was telling me that I was riding the brakes too hard and ultimately I got rid of the car. I am once again seeking another car but would love to get another Lexus so I googled the issue, and discovered many, many others have experienced the same issue on this and other models and received the same reply. I am shocked to see that Lexus continues not to acknowledge and/or fix this issue. Perhaps a govt agency investigation would inspire them to rectify it once and for all.”

“At the first service of my Lexus rx 350fwd the brake pads were replaced by the dealer because they felt it was unusual and the they advised my driving with a lower gear on hills and less braking. Since I neither drive hills or break unusually on flat roads I found this odd. At the next service I had to pay for warped rotors that needed machining and the sanded the brake pads down. The last service resulted in poor braking response. I have talked to Lexus corporate but there seems to be no solution.”
