Vehicle: 2014 Lexus RX 450h Component: ABS / Brake Actuator System I am submitting this complaint regarding a safety-related brake system defect in my 2014 Lexus RX 450h. The vehicle experienced ABS/brake actuator failure consistent with a known defect that was previously addressed by Lexus/Toyota through a Customer Support Program (extended coverage program, not a recall). I was never notified of this program. I have confirmed that Lexus mailed notification to an incorrect address (Temple City), despite the fact that my vehicle registration address has never changed and has always been accurately maintained with the DMV. As a result, I was deprived of the opportunity to repair a known safety-related defect within the coverage period. Key facts: - Brake/ABS actuator system failure occurred at approximately 150,000 miles - Lexus had previously issued a Customer Support Program for this known defect - No notification was received by me during the coverage period - Lexus confirmed notices were sent to an incorrect address - My DMV registration address has remained unchanged I raised this issue directly with Lexus Customer Assistance, including escalation to a supervisor. Lexus denied goodwill assistance and stated no remedy is available despite the documented notification issue. This raises concerns regarding: - Adequacy of manufacturer notification procedures for safety-related defects - Potential failure to reasonably notify owners using accurate registration data - Loss of repair opportunity for a known braking system defect due to administrative error Because this involves a braking system (critical safety component), I am requesting that the federal safety agency review whether the notification process used for this defect was adequate and whether other owners may have been similarly affected. Supporting documentation is available, including proof of DMV address history and evidence of incorrect mailing address used by the manufacturer.

I am reporting a serious and potentially dangerous braking issue with my 2007 Lexus RX400h. The vehicle currently has approximately 126,296 miles. While driving, the vehicle emits a continuous and intermittent warning beeping sound. At the same time, the braking system becomes unreliable. The brake pedal becomes extremely difficult to press, requiring excessive force, and the vehicle does not respond consistently when braking. In addition, there are instances where the vehicle appears to brake unpredictably or inconsistently, which creates a significant safety hazard for myself, passengers, and other drivers on the road. Based on my research, this issue appears to be related to a known defect involving the ABS brake actuator assembly. Lexus previously issued a warranty enhancement program for this component due to internal malfunctions that affect brake pressure and system performance. However, this issue was not issued as a formal recall tied to VIN eligibility. Despite my vehicle being under 150,000 miles, I have been informed that I may be outside the time-based warranty window, and no active recall is listed for my VIN. This defect directly impacts the braking system, which is a critical safety component. Failures in the brake actuator can lead to improper brake pressure, reduced stopping ability, and increased risk of a crash. Given the safety implications and known history of this defect, I believe this issue warrants further investigation and potential recall consideration. I am submitting this complaint to request that the federal safety agency review this matter for safety risk and determine whether broader action is necessary to protect consumers.

My vehicle is experiencing a mechanical failure of the brake actuator/booster assembly, manifested by a "squawk/bark" noise and abnormal pedal feel during braking. This is a known defect recognized by Lexus under Customer Support Program 23LE04. The dealership technician confirmed the noise is present and recommended a full replacement of the ABS actuator. However, Lexus is denying coverage because the onboard computer has not yet triggered a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). By denying the repair, Lexus is requiring me to operate a vehicle with a confirmed mechanical brake malfunction, which increases the risk of a crash, increased stopping distance, or total brake power assist failure. March 2021 (60k miles): Actuator was replaced under warranty for this exact failure. December 2021 (74k miles): The failure recurred. Lexus and the dealer refused to cover the diagnosis/bleed, forcing me to drive a defective vehicle. February 2026 (110k miles): A Lexus dealer confirmed the part is failing again and quoted $3,000 for replacement. Despite a manufacturer program (CSP 23LE04) existing for this exact part, Lexus refuses to honor it without an electronic code, even though the mechanical failure has been physically confirmed by their own technicians. The component is available for inspection.

My Lexus 2019 RX450H is making a squishing squeaking brake actuator noise when pressing the brake pedal. I located well publicized TSB’s documenting the awareness by Toyota/Lexus of the problem. (TSB: MC-10245447-9999) Brake Squawk/Knock Noise. I checked with my local Lexus dealership to see if my vehicle had been repaired. It had Not!. Temecula Valley Lexus, 42081 Dealer Drive, Temecula, Ca. 92591. (951)365-6834. I scheduled an appointment for repair on 1/26/26. They rejected making the repair because my vehicle DID NOT have any codes in the computer OR any lights on the dash. They did in fact, confirm the brake actuator noise. I reject that concept because WHO could know ahead of time if a part experiences a (1st time) total failure without throwing codes and turning on dashboard lights? As I read the symptoms of severe problems experienced in a higher level of failure by brake actuators, I would not want to have to experience a crash accident in which the actuator would operate correctly in a hard stop condition or have ABS failure and brake lockup occur. Personal harm and property damage should not have to be an indicator if I can have the manufacturer cover a repair. Please advise What I should do to increase the response in the direction of getting this known problem repaired. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Hydraulic brake booster pump abs actuator has been on a service bulletin around 2015 with a definitive timetable. I have had numerous notifications with warning lights that are indicative of the booster pump failure for more than 10 years and every time I bring it to the Lexus dealer they said it is my battery. They replace the battery and reset the computer and it repeats itself over and over. My main concern as this should have been a recall and not a service bulletin; an abs brake failure is a significant defect with possible fatal outcome. The problem has been well documented with numerous Lexus and Toyota customers hybrid vehicles going back to 2005. My vehicle is 2007 Lexus RX 400h with 78,000 miles. I am afraid to drive the vehicle with the issue unresolved.
