What owners report
Brake pedal on vehicle requires significant force to trigger brake lamps to turn on. In many instances, the vehicle can come to a complete stop before the brake lamps are triggered. Consumer has resolved the issue and would like to withdrawal the complaint.
My 2013 Lexus LS460 with ~50,000mi had its brake actuator failed (C1391 - Leak in the accumulator). A month prior to code C1391 being triggered, the vehicle experienced inconsistent braking pressure with severe brake pedal modulation required to stop the vehicle. Traveling at speeds under 30 MPH the vehicle would intermittently hesitate to stop. Moreover, a squawk noise was present when depressing the brake pedal. Code C1391 was triggered on 11/18/2021. Upon contacting Lexus dealers and national customer service (Guest incident #211121-000001) to repair the part under warranty, Lexus denied warranty. Inquiry was also made for Lexus dealers and Lexus customer service as to the correct brake
