received CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM 24LE01 NOTIFICATION for issues related to Brake Booster and Brake Booster Pump Assemblies. Indicator lights, such as Master Warning Light (Yellow) and SLOP Indicator (Yellow) have appeared while reversing out of a parking spot when no water puddles are present and moving foward (clear day/road) where the vehicle doesn't catch the gear to move initially. Once braking, the system seems to reset itself and allows for a "normal drive". The experience is intermittent, and not often- the dashboard warning lights come on infrequently and is not consistent. Lexus Dealer/Service Shop advised a charge of $145 to look for diagnostic codes C1391, C1252, C1256, C1253. If they find these codes, then they will check the extended warranty to determine if they will charge you or not under their customer support program which really doesn't tell the car owner one way or another. The service adviser said only a Lexus authorized dealer can check for the diagnostic codes and can't be obtained from a traditional code reader at retail outlets such as Autozone, or OReilly, etc. The issues with the Brake Booster and Brake Booster Pump Assemblies sounds like a critical issue with deadly affects if not looked into. The method of the dealer seems shady to get this looked at and for a price to be passed on to the car owner.

My vehicle was in an accident on the freeway when my steering wheel started to wiggle- within 3 seconds my steering wheel violently steering left to right uncontrollably that caused the vehicle to spin out of control on the freeway causing a total loss collision. My vehicle has been serviced prior to the accident at Lexus of beverly hills at jim faulk- did a full service inspection, tire rotation to make sure safely of the vehicle. The vehicle is also still under warranty. Need investigation from Lexus what caused the vehicle malfunction jthkd5bh3F224391 C1214 Toyota meaning the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU) monitors the hydraulic control system. The brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU) sets the obdii code when the hydraulic control system is not to factory specifications. An analyst has pulled the cdr of the vehicle stating the vehicle malfunction of the Lexus that caused the accident- need investigation why the vehicle did not alert me any maintenance messages, why the dealership did not alert me any precautions on the malfunction of the vehicle. The car accident resulted in the freeway shutting down, could have harmed many people due to the vehicle losing control without any notice thank you for your time
