Complete loss of hydraulic brake pressure resulting in brake pedal traveling to the floor. Defect: Brake Actuator and Pump Assembly failure Risk: The vehicle has been deemed unsafe to drive by a certified Lexus technician and I was asked to sign a liability waiver to remove vehicle from dealership. Description: While driving my 2010 Lexus HS250h (90,729 miles) I experienced sudden and catastrophic failure of the braking system where the brake pedal traveled completely to the floor, significantly increasing stopping distance. A diagnostic at Lexus dealership confirmed a failed ABS brake actuator and pump assembly. The dealership stated the car is life-threatening unsafe to drive and requir

The rear suspension lateral links (Rear Control Arm No. 1) have failed to remain adjustable because they were permanently encapsulated in epoxy by the dealer during the official Lexus Safety Recall for rear suspension arm corrosion.

Nitrogen gas from a component of the brake booster pump assembly could leak into the brake fluid." My car was manufactured during this period yet is still not included in the recall list. Lexus is absolutely responsible for a brake booster replacement, yet they refuse to accept responsibility. My car has always had odd braking on slick grounds, it has always skippe

Pre Collision System light on dash, abs lights, traction lights etc Error Code C1391which requires a Brake Booster pump AND a Brake booster pump kit due to a MALFUNCTION which should be manufacturers responsibility. They launched a customer support program for a very short period (you had to have the error during this short time) and EXCLUDED all HS250h from the Secondary Coverage period by noting expiry if vehicle is over 10years which they were past that at the time of LAUNCHING THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM which is completely unethical and negligent to their customers. I was never notified of this program. This short time frame under the program leaves MOST customers with these veh
