I HAVE A LEXUS HS250H YEAR 2010. WHEN YOU GO OVER A SERIES OF BUMPS OR RAILROAD TRACKS AT ABOUT 40MPH WHILE HITTING THE BRAKES TO SLOW UP THE BRAKES FAIL. EVEN WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES FAIL AND I HAVE TO RELEASE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES ANDPRESS DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK AT 1,000 2,500 AND 5,000 AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT EACH TIME AND WAS TOLD THE FIRST TWO TIMES THAT IT WAS FIXED. WELL THE LAST TIME IN WHEN I TOLD THEM AGAIN ABOUT IT THE DEALER SAID WHEN I WAS LEAVING AND ASKED IF THEY FIXED THE BRAKES HE SAID "IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE HYBIRD CAR TO HAVE THE BRAKES REACT LIKE THAT". WELL IT IS NOT SAFE LIKE THAT. GET ONE AND TRY GOING FAST OVER A SERIES OF HOLES OR BUMPS OR ROUGH RAILROAD TRACKS AND PUT THE BRAKES ON JUST BEFORE YOU HIT THEM AND THE BRAKES RELEASE EVEN WITH YOUR FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

I HAVE A NEW LEXUS HS HYBRID AND I HAVE SPECIFICALLY NOTED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, POTHOLES, ETC. THE BRAKES SEEM TO 'SKIP A BEAT', OR 'NOT CATCH' FOR A SECOND AFTER YOU GO OVER A POTHOLE AND I NOTED THIS DIRECTLY TO LEXUS AND IN THE SURVEY FORMS I FILLED OUT FOR THEM.

MY CAR HAS LOST BRAKING/SLIPPED 3 OR 4 TIMES IN THE SAME SPOT ON MY STREET WHERE THERE IS UNEVEN PAYMENT. I DRIVE THE NEW LEXUS HS250H... IT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PRIUS BRAKE RECALL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR 2 MONTHS. AFTER A COUPLE OF BRAKE PRESSINGS, THE BRAKES RESUME. *TR

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2010 Prius vehicles manufactured March 31, 2009, through October 9, 2009; and model year 2010 Lexus HS250h vehicles manufactured June 19, 2009, through October 9, 2009. Nitrogen gas from a component of the brake booster pump assembly could leak into the brake fluid.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: As nitrogen is released into the brake fluid, the brake pedal may have reduced hydraulic pressure. Under certain circumstances, this condition could affect stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected brake booster pump assemblies. The recall began on August 7, 2013. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 HS250h LEXUS VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ROTATED FOLLOWING A CRASH TEST AS REQUIRED, THE AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKAGE EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE LIMITS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BY INSTALLING A NEWLY DESIGNED PROTECTOR COMPONENT FOR THE FUEL FILLER INLET PIPE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 9, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED INCONSISTENT BRAKE FEEL AFTER ABS ACTUATION DURING SLOW AND STEADY APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES ON ROUGH OR SLICK ROAD SURFACES. STOPPING DISTANCES MAY BE INCREASED COMPARED WITH A CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATION FOR A GIVEN PEDAL FORCE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCES MAY INCREASE RELATIVE TO A CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REWRITE THE PROGRAMMING OF THE ABS CONTROL UNIT FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 3, 2010, AND IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN LATE MARCH 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 AND LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.
