2007 Lexus Ls

AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN DRIVING OUR CAR, THE ABS, VSC AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ABS SYSTEM BECOMES INOPERATIVE, AND THE FRONT BRAKES CAN EASILY LOCK UP DURING MODERATELY HEAVY BRAKING. WE BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS PURPOSELY DESIGNED THE SYSTEM TO DISABLE THE ABS FUNCTIONALITY WHEN THERE IS A POSSIBLE PROBLEM DETECTED IN THE ABS ACCUMULATOR. THAT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A GOOD IDEA. THE WARNING LIGHTS SOMETIMES GO OFF FOR A WHILE (A FEW DAYS SOMETIMES) AND THEN RETURN AT RANDOM TIMES AND DURING VARIOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE WARNING LIGHTS USUALLY COME ON WHEN DRIVING AT MODERATE SPEED, AND WHEN NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. FROM OUR RESEARCH IT SEEMS LIKE THIS ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED, AND TOYOTA SOMETIMES REPAIRS THE BRAKE SYSTEM AT NO COST, HOWEVER IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A REQUIRED RECALL. OUR CAR HAS LOW MILES FOR THE YEAR, ONLY 86K. WE HAVE ASKED FOR HELP FROM LEXUS HOWEVER HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RESPONSE SO FAR.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAY ON ONCE CAR IS RUNNING THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHORTS IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THE SPEAKERS HAVE NO SOUNDS COMING THROUGH THEM AND THE REAR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL IN THE BACK SEAT AS NO POWER AND THE HEAD LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE GO OFF AND ON AT TIMES I REPLACED THE FUSE FOR THE SPEAKER BUT IT BLOW OUT AS SOON AS I PUT THE NEW ONE IN

LEXUS LS 2007..TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN...NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OPEN THE TRUNK HAS FAILED. SEVERAL MECHANIC HAS TRIED TO OPEN THE TRUNK AND COULDN`T NOT OPEN THE TRUNK. CHECKED THE FUSES, TRIED THE KEY FOB, THE VALET SWITCH IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WAS CHECKED. THE BUTTON UNDER THE TRUNK LID HANDLE DID NOT OPEN THE TRUNK. THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON UNDER THE DASHBOARD WAS UNRESPONSIVE. USED THE PHYSICAL KEY IN THE TRUNK AND IT OPEN ABOUT 1/4", BUT STILL WON`T OPEN. THE EMERGENCY LATCH IN THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN THE TRUNK EITHER. I CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, I AM UNABLE TO GAIN ENTRANCE TO THE TRUNK...FLAT TIRE, CHILD ACCIDENTLY LOCKED IN THE TRUNK..ETC. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED.

MY 2007 LS460 LEXUS WITH 100K MILES HAS A FAILED BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY ASCERTAINED BY A LEXUS AND TOYOTA DEALER. THIS WAS A CONFRONTED PROBLEM BY TOYOTA FOR FAILURE OF THE O RINGS WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY. THE ACTUATOR ABRUPTLY WENT OUT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO NOT GO TO THE RIGHT CALIPERS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 150 K MI OR 10 YEARS, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. HOWEVER. MY LEXUS WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IN MAY, 2018 AND THEY WILL NOT OFFER ANY HELP WHATSOEVER BECAUSE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED APROX. 1 YEAR AGO.

MY KIDS AND I WAS TRAVELING IN VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND NOTICED MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 25 MPH ON CITY STREET AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND LATER GET MY CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED MY ACTUATOR NEEDS REPLACING AND LEXUS WILL COVER THE COST, HOWEVER THE ACTUATOR CAUSED MY BRAKE PUMP TO GO OUT. LEXUS HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL BUT HAVE PUT AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" IN PLACE UNTIL 12/2017, MY FAMILY LIVES WAS ENDANGERED DUE TO THIS FAILURE AND NOW LEXUS WANT TO CHARGE ME $2K TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY. THIS PART IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ABS SYSTEM. LEXUS REPRESENTATIVE MIKE STATED "WE WILL PAY FOR ACTUATOR ($2K) AND YOU WILL PAY FOR THE PUMP). MY HUSBAND CONTACTED LEXUS CORPORATE AND SPOKE WITH KATHRINA BOYLES AND DENIED OUR CASE AND REINTERATED LEXUS WILL ONLY COVER THE ACTUATOR-SHE ALSO SENT US A DENIAL LETTER. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? LEXUS DO NOT WANT TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ACTUATOR BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THEM TAKING BLAME SO THEY COWARDLY ISSUED AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY". MY ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONING PUT MY FAMILY LIFE IN EXTREME DANGER AND CAUSED MY PUMP TO MALFUNCTION AND YET LEXUS WANT ME TO PAY THE BILL. DO LEXUS CARE THAT MY FAMILY LIFE WAS PUT IN DANGER? SHOULD I CONTACT A LAWYER OR LOCAL NEWS STATION AND TELL MY DANGEROUS STORY. MY GOD I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND SWERVED ALL OVER THE PLACE UNTIL I WAS ABLE GET CAR TO SLOW DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS460. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING POWER WHILE TURNING. THE STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000. UPDATED 03/02/17*LJ *CN

WHILE DRIVING, THE NAVIGATION MONITOR SCREEN HAS GONE BLACK AND RESET 10 TO 15 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, ON 2 TO 4 OCCASIONS, A RED "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT" COMES ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE STEERING HESITATES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON I-5 AT 60+ MPH. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AFTER I SLOWED DOWN TO LESS THAN 50 MPH.

BRAKE MALFUNCTION ERROR WAS SHOWN ON THE SPEEDOMETER SCREEN WITH FIVE LIGHTS (ABS, VSC, BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND WARNING LIGHT). THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY SOFT AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO ABRUPT STOPS. ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AS A ROCK AND ALSO MADE THE VEHICLE COME TO A JERKING STOP. PULSATION AND NOISE WERE ALSO NOTED. DEALER ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PART (44050-50110) WAS THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION AND NOISE. LEXUS TECH AND ADVISOR NOTED THAT THIS IS A A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL - 2007 LS460.
