While I was driving one day, my car's braking system loss power to the brakes and I almost hit another car. The car began beeping and will not stop while the car is on. I signed up for drivers.Lexus.com to obtain the vehicle service history report and the brake actuator assembly was replaced back in 2012 which was paid out of pocket by the previous owner. 8 years later and only 55,000 miles more, the same problem has occurred. There was recall for this very vehicle in 2016 but it has ended in 2018. Now I am stuck out of being able to fix the car due to the $3,833 repair cost I can't afford. The Lexus dealership will not honor the recall since it has passed even though the repair code is due to the recall. I think this is not right, especially it is obvious that this recall has not been fixed. I have gone online and see this is happening to almost every owner of this vehicle from 2007-2015. People who have bought this car should not have to pay for a recalled issue that is still occurring even though the recall campaign has expired. This is not right for all of us, especially me who is experiencing this for the second time on this car. I was lucky in not getting in to an accident but if I was on the freeway when it did, I may as well be dead.

Brake actuator failure is a known issue by Lexus and Lexus says they will not replace mine. Its a safety issue and should been a recall instead of 'warranty enhancement' with limitations to get Lexus out of fixing something they know is faulty and a safety issue.

I had remarked to the local dealer that it made a clunk noise when starting the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal. This was at 63K mi when I purchased it. I was told it was normal. Approximately 1 year and 10K mi. After I started to experience squealing when braking. I was told by the dealer that no issues were found and that it was most likely caused by cheap aftermarket brakes. I brought the vehicle in for the brakes again and was told that they found nothing wrong, probably just cheap pads. Approximately 3K mi. Later when driving at approx. 35mph. Warning lights illuminated, and stated to take immediately to the dealer. When I took it I was informed there were codes regarding an electrical malfunction and leak, but they found no evidence of the problem. They reset the car and attempted to re-illuminate the warning lights, which they were unable to do. Approx. 1K mi. Later the warning light re-illuminated. When I spoke to the dealer they asked if I had any driveability, or braking issues, which I did not, the car drove and braked normally. I was told they could look at the codes again and reset them, but they would most likely come back on again if it was some other type of malfunction. I was planning on putting the car away for the winter and addressing the issue then, the dealer agreed that it was most likely the best to bring it in prior to taking it off the road for winter. Once again approx. 1K mi. Later a constant beeping started while driving shortly after a hard braking incident. It stopped, but started again 2 wks later while driving home as I approached an exit ramp. I depressed the brake pedal to find I had no braking ability. Pedal to the floor. I entered the 1/16th of a mile ramp at 65mph. I swiftly downshifted enough that I made the turn at the end T on to my street with only minimal fishtail and found that the vsc was still functioning.
