For the third time, the brakes on our 2008 Lexus gx failed. This time, when put in reverse in the garage, the car immediately started moving--hitting our garage door as it was going up. The car then continued another 40 feet, into a retaining wall--repeated pressing of the brakes did nothing--as in earlier times.

I own a 2008 Lexus gx 470, there is a problem with the brakes. The vehicle had to be taken to the shop and the braking system worked on two separate times, because the brakes had warped. At speeds exceeding 50 miles an hour the steering wheel would start shaking uncontrollably.

The contact owns a 2008 Lexus gx 470. He had to use great force to the brake pedal, in order for the vehicle to stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and he was advised that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. A couple months later, an identical failure occurred. Consequently he rear-ended another vehicle. A police report was filed. He had the vehicle towed to the dealership but the technician could not locate the cause of the failure. The vehicle was repaired by the insurance company. The current mileage was approximately 6,000. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000. The consumer stated as he exited a parking lot, he realized he could not stop the vehicle, so he made a sharp turn into a landscape of an establishment and hit a parked car. The consumer stated he experienced a similar incident six months prior. Updated 04/23/10.
