THERE IS A CLICKING OR POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, AND WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED. THE FREQUENCY OF THE NOISE HAS INCREASED WITH A SENSATION UNDER YOUR FOOT. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS WILL LEAD TO SOME TYPE OF ABS BRAKE FAILURE. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR THIS NOISE AND IT LOOKS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE LS MODELS. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT TURNS OUT, IT IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND LEXUS IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM EARLY IN THE CARS LIFE OR LATER. SINCE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE 2007 TO 2010 MODEL YEAR I THINK THIS SHOULD BE AN OFFICIAL RECALL OR AT LEAST GRANDFATHERED IN AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.
