2007 Lexus RX brakes complaints

Filed Aug 1, 2020 · Brakes · OH

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. There is many complaints I researched there is also a noise that is related to this problem the noise comes from the actuator, but being unfamiliar with the car normal features I failed to identify the problem I have heard this noise for a very long time I have always felt this pulse but thought it was normal I owned this vehicle now for 5 years. I thought the noise was the hydraulic system lowing the vehicle air down like my navigator did but that was the noise of the actuator going out. The brakes always felt like they had a delay or hit hard like a jerk just thought this was caused by sensitivity. It upsets me that lexus is and has been aware of this problem and never informed me and the problem just got worse the brake system is so vital why would they not after they realized this is a problem I had the warranty provider whom extended this warranty on this part but neither informed me even though both had my current information. Its a problem that lexus and its mother toyota know of and failed to make the problem right. If there is a problem and they recognize it why not make it right! Is my safety not important to lexus and toyota? #toyota # lexus #actulator #safety

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.

Rear caliper blew while driving - almost lost brakes on highway - vehicle was unsafe to drive. Ignition coils failed (twice) while driving - lost power - almost got hit by a truck steering fluid leak - dealer says to get entire steering replaced or may lose steering while driving!! All this started at a mere 42,891 miles - and we narrowly averted possible accidents at high speed!
