The ABS/brake/vsc/ light came on, making beeping noise and hard to brake

Filed Jan 16, 2019 · Brakes · 150,662 miles · GA

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.

I was parked with the engine running for approximately 18 minutes when suddenly, I heard a beeping sound in the car it would not stop!!! I turned my engine off in hope to reset whatever it was but as soon as me foot touched the brake the beeping resumed. It was raining and I had not clue of what it was. At this point, all of the brake light on my dash came on . I went out of the car popped the hood and didn't immediately recognize anything. I then went back in the car and with the beeping still in my ear, decided to head home. That's when I noticed I could not stop my car !!! The brake was stiff and I literally had to force my car to stop by applying as much pressure as physically possible to my brake pedal. I took the car to my mechanic and after diagnostics he stated it's the ABS pump and brake actuator.

I have 2008 lexus ls 460 which has mileage of 36,345. I had a sudden failure of brake system and warning light said "bring the car to the dealer" they found ABS actuator failure. Lexus issued "warranty enhancement" about this problem in 2017. But they would not cover my car because the warranty enhancement expired 5 months ago in spite of my car's low mileage. I think the federal safety agency should recommend "recall" to lexus because serious safety concern of this problem. Apparently many of the owners of this vehicle have had this problems but had a lot of problems with the dealership to fix it. I would appreciate very much if you would consider seriously and help consumers.
