Car runs great until check engine light comes on followed by vsc and then brake light. When those lights come on it runs rough and brakes make gear noise under driver's side hood area. Brake Is very sluggish and almost non existent when it fails. Let it set, clear fault and runs fine until warm again. Have had all brakes checked and in good condition by mechanic today and problem persists. Appears to be an ECU or other electrical and not mechanical problem. Is extremely dangerous and should be addressed by manufacturer.
I put $3000 on 2002 Lexus and had it for three days when my 6 year old daughter and myself was heading onto commercial turnpike South. I was approaching light on corner of 441 and commercial when my brakes just gave out on me completely and I quickly responded and pulled up emergency brake and turned into gas station to have it towed to mechanic and which it was put on machine and detailed everything that was wrong with car including the malfunction on the ABS system which controls brakes and steering. I was saved by not getting onto turnpike and my quick maneuvering to emergency brakes which helped very little. My pedal went completely to the floor. I called and told mosche which was the guy I signed contract with and told him to come and get this car and I want my money back. He told me no refunds and I found out within three days I should of gotten my refund back. They took my car back after I fixed it and paid over $500 for and will not give me another car nor my money back.. they robbed and lie and should not be selling dangerous cars with knowledge of no brakes. I was told to come get the car a week after because of them putting brakes on them so they had knowledge of something wrong with brake system and failed to tell me..
