2007 Lexus Ls

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FOUND IT HARDER TO DEPRESS THAN NORMAL. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. IN ADDITION, SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THERE WAS A CONTINUOUS BEEPING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

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

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.

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.
