As I am driving the vehicle I feel vibrations then my dash illuminate with vsc, ABS, skid control, brake light as well as the triangle with exclamation. Notifications states that I should pull over immediately contact dealer brake malfunction. I have my two year old son in the car with me. Literally gave me a [xxx] heartache. Contact the dealer there's no safety recall for the brake actuator for 2008 LS460 only Toyota issue cars. This is unfair for something that's clearly failing. Lexus be fair to your consumers recall this safety issue. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My 2008 Lexus ls600hl has a defective brake actuator. Lexus is aware of the issue on these cars and put out a warranty enhancement on the actuator but only for certain Ls that fall within a certain VIN# range. My vehicle VIN did not make it into the warranty enhancement but is experiencing the issues stated in the enhancement letter down to the T. all started yesterday when I almost totaled out because the brakes completely failed when I was driving on the highway at 50mph. Lights came on the dash and I could not stop the vehicle. I was able to run onto the shoulder of the road while downshifting the car to slow it down eventually getting it to a stop with minimal damage to my car. Found out later after getting it towed it needs a brake actuator. I am under the 150,000 warranty enhancement (I am at 125,000) mark but my VIN is not on the repair enhancement list so I cant get it repaired under the warranty. This should of affected by years not by VIN specification. I need this fix and Lexus wants $4000 for something that should be covered under warranty enhancement.

As I was driving into my home garage, my car suddenly accelerated on its own and eventually crashed in the back wall of the garage. Depressing the brakes failed to stop the vehicle before crashing. Prior to the crashing incident, the unintended acceleration happened at least two other times but the vehicle eventually stopped before an impact. Around the end of March 2014, my brake lights came on and I then took the car to Toyota for repairs. Thereafter, I reported the crash incident to Lexus who then had the vehicle inspected on April 9, 2014. The Toyota eaa inspector sent me a memory stick with the edr data (crash data) from my vehicle but would not provide an analysis or interpretation of the data and subsequently denied my claim for the damage incurred to my car.

I drove my car over to pick my grandson up we went to the park, when I was taking him home the vsc code came on and said take care to dealer for service, engine light came on as well. I call and made an appointment immediately and they told me to leave the vehicle and they would run diagnostics see what was causing it. The next day they cleared the code called and told me to pick up. When I was leaving the same lights came on again (engine, vsc etc). Got out of the car and told service rep. That the same thing was happening again. I left the car over the weekend and they call and said it was a communication error and the computer wasn't communicating with the parking brake. I truly believe this is a safety issue and should be addressed by the manufacturer.

After the vehicle has an oil change, the car will (intermittently) hesitate to accelerate. This is especially dangerous when you are trying to merge into the freeway or similar occasions. When attempted to depress the gas pedal with expectation that the car will respond and accelerate as normal, the engine just revs up and the vehicle doesn't move any faster than current speed. This will continue for 5-10 seconds then it kicks in. This delays is very dangerous when you want to get out of harms way (accelerate to merge into freeway, passing etc). The problem is intermittent and will go away by itself within a few hundred miles (but will come back sporadically). All this happens by itself and cannot be reproduce at will. However the occurrences often happen after oil change or so (but not necessary). I have bought the car into the Lexus dealership(s) to fix (yes 5 times at different dealership) but they cannot fix this issue.

On September 2, 2010, while driving my Lexus LS460, I was sitting in traffic at a complete stop with my foot on the brake. Suddenly the car began revving at a very high rate. Luckily, I was able to keep my foot firmly down on the brake & shift the car into neutral so that it didn't "jump" forward and hit the truck that was stopped ahead of me. I immediately contacted the Lexus dealership that I purchased my car from and was put on the line w/ the general manager of the service department. He told me that I must have had my foot on the gas pedal. I told him that this was impossible since I was at a stop directly behind a stopped truck. He said that the black boxes of all the cars that had previously complained of this problem had been checked and that it had all been found to be driver error. It is without a doubt that I was not pushing the accelerator when this happened, my foot was on the brake pedal, or I would have smashed into the truck that was less than 3 feet ahead of me. I attempted to send a letter to the department of transportation on that date but it was returned to me due to not having an Agency or room number. I am simply trying to make both Lexus and others aware of what occurred.
