Experiencing both the dreaded brake actuator assembly issue as well as the very common mark levinson amplifier issue, on model # 0w480. Was in conversation with lexus customer satisfaction and they are completely unwilling to step in and do the right thing in assisting me with either, or both, problems. I've owned this vehicle for all of 2 months, and although I understand that I bought it used, as-is with higher mileage, I think that since there was a recent warranty enhancement program issued by lexus on the brake actuator assembly, and also that the failed amplifier is a very, very well-known issue, where the amplifier all of a sudden one day cuts out and all sound is replaced by an incessant chirping noise that's only stopped by pulling the wiring harness on the amp or a fuse, that lexus should do the right thing by its loyal customers and replace free of charge. But they will not, because exactly like every other company in the entire world, they simply do not care about the customer or their experience. Sorry, but this is the only way I am able to view my experience.

Having problems with the brakes. When I press the bridal all the way down. There is a creeping noise coming from the brakes. Have seen numerous complaints of the same issue on lexus vehicles. Many states it's the brake aculator.

The brake pedal is hard when starting the car, brake pedal pulsates when stopping, brake pedal stiffens when stopping, a clicking sound under the hood, the following lights are lit: master warning light (red), brake warning light (red), ABS (yellow), trac (yellow), vsc and the warning to pull the car over to a safe location and take to a dealer. The sevice department said the brake acuator needs replacing. Lexus USA should have done a recall on the brake acuator but instead did a warranty enhancement which ended 12-31-2017 (with unlimited miles) and a secondary coverage of 10 years from first day of use or 150,000 miles whicever comes first. If I had driven my car more than I did with the mileage going to 150,662 miles prior to 12/31/2017, I know the brake acuator problem would have hapened at that time (as it came on at 150,662 miles ) and lexus would have replaced the faulty brake acuator. I am being penalized because I did not drive the car enough within a specific period of time so they will not cover the repair. Lexus USA knew the brake acuator was faulty even in 2009. This is a safety issue which lexus should be held fully responsible to repair on my 2007 lexus ls 460.

Takata recall this vehicle has a manufacturers warranty on the ABS sensor and this part needs to be recalled. This ABS sensor does not allow the car to stop in a safe quick manner. You have to press the brake really hard to get the vehicle to stop. At the dealership they said this is a safety issue so this should be recalled. It is not a cosmetic issue which the manufacturer is saying. That put it as a manufacturers warranty with an expiration date to get out of paying for tons and tons of vehicles with this safety issue. Please recall this part on these vehicles. It is very unsafe to drive and many people have this issue.
