2008 Lexus Rx

The dealer is aware this vehicle has a brake actuator problem,and when I contacted them to see if it had a recall for this specific problem,I was told to call Lexus Corporate to get them to honor the repairs at their cost.They told me they would not repair the car at their cost because the Extended Warranty support program ended 4-28-2018.This is a very unsafe problem and they should honor the repair free of cost to the consumer

While driving in local conditions (traveling 20 mph) the brakes stopped working partially (about 90% of braking power was lost) and a message on the dash board show check vsc, after pulling aside it turning off the engine. I inspected the brakes in the engine and at the wheels for leaks. no leaks. upon restarting the car all was normal again.

Vehicle brakes are inconsistent. The ABS system also locks up periodically, and fail to engage at other times. Extremely dangerous to drive. They are also very noisy. I contacted both the local Lexus dealership and national number, but they refused to fix them under warranty. Lexus DID offer an extended warranty in 2016 or so, but since I was the second owner of the vehicle, I never received notification of the extended warranty that went through Dec. 31 2017. In September, 2020, I could no longer deal with the brakes, so I bought a new ABS actuator from the Lexus dealership and installed it myself. It was straight forward and took less than an hour to install and bleed the brake lines per Lexus instructions. Less than 16 months later, the ABS system is failing again. Lexus told me that the part warranty is only one year, and refused to cover the expense to fix.

JULY 2021 at 69568 miles on 2008 Lexus RX350 Brake Booster was changed by Lexus of Orange Park, Florida, for $1652.97. Situation/Discrepancy: After normal stop, Brake Light would illuminate and brakes would mysteriously release and vehicle would start rolling forward! After several brake pumping actions vehicle would stop. Brake Booster was leaking internally! Corrective Action: Replace Power Brakes Booster.

2008 Lexus RX 400H Faulty ABS Actuator yes my car is available for inspection upon request . This is a known problem on this vehicle there is 100s of complaints on same issue with the same cars Lexus is neglecting responsibility for this faulty and very dangerous hazard , this part has been faulty for years with out my knowledge and now it’s gotten worse all the lights related to my brake system is on and the brakes seem to have a mind of there own they break real hard at times and times I have to slam on them to break . yes I have had the car checked and the dealer told me that there was a extended warranty issued on this part but that it’s expired. they also gave me a quote $2,100 just for the part no labor that’s crazy, this is not a extended warranty matter this should be recalled there is thousands of people driving this cars with out knowing that there breaks could give out anytime . I hope that Lexus considers the seriousness of this matter and not wait on till lives are lost do to neglecting. they took effort years ago in extending the warranty on the part but there is thousands of owners like my self that were not aware or notified of this extension , also this is a malfunction that is not noticeable and can happen at anytime especially while you driving .

I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER WAS TOLD THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. I CALL THE LEXUS BRAND ENGAGEMENT CENTER LINE AND WAS CALLED BACK WITH AN EXPLANATION WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE. EVEN THOUGH IT IA EXHIBITING THE MALFUNCTION. THE DEADLINE WAS DECEMBER 31,2020. THIS LAST REFUSAL TO DEAL WITH A PART THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE IS MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO THEIR FAILURE TO BUILD A RELIABLE PRODUCT, AS THEY HAVE OFFERED THEIR OWN VERSION OF SATISFACTION FOR THOSE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE FAILURE OCCUR TIMELY. MINE DID NOT KNOW IF THE TIMELY REQUIREMENTS AND OPTED TO MALFUNCTION LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THE ESTABLISHED DEADLINE. HOWEVER, THE LETTER THEY SENT WENT TO THE PREVIOUS REGISTERED OWNER. AS A REGISTERED OWNER IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, IT IS MY OPINION THAT LEXIS COULD HAVE EASILY LOCATED ME THROUGH THE HELP OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA REGISTRATION OFFICE. WHICH IS WHAT THEIR SITE STATES IS DONE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR JUNE 2020. LEXUS/TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO FIX BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THEY SENT OUT CUSTOMER SUPPORT WARRANTY EXTENSIONS FOR PREVIOUSLY. AS OF THIS WEEK MY VEHICLES BRAKING ABILITY HAS ONLY 10% OF WHAT IT HAD A MONTH AGO AND IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE! I HAVENT OWNED FOR A YEAR AS YET SMH! IT IS NOW PARKED IN MY GARAGE.
