THE VEHICLE MAKES A NOISE WHEN BRAKING AND PULSES. UPON INVESTIGATION AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FAULTY BRAKE ABS ACTUATOR. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY LEXUS WILL NOT COVER THE $3000 REPLACEMENT. LEXUS IS FULLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PUT OUT A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR THE REPAIR. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE A SAFETY COMPONENT LEXUS REFUSES TO CONSIDER THIS FOR A RECALL. AFTER RECALLING ALL THOSE FLOOR MATS WHEN THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE CAUSING RAPID ACCELERATION YOU WOULD THINK LEXUS WOULD RECALL A KNOWN FLAW WITH THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR. *TR

THE DASH BOARD SURFACE HAS BECOME GUMMY AND THE REFLECTION OF THE SHINY, GUMMY SURFACE ON THE WINDSHIELD VERY FREQUENTLY AFFECTS THE VISIBILITY AND IMPAIRS MY CAPACITY TO SEE SAFELY, SPECIALLY ON VERY SUNNY DAYS.
