I took my Lexus 2000 because it shimmied badly. The dealer could not loosen the nut because the whole cylinder disc assy was rusted so badly that they have to saw it off. The brake pad could not even move, they have to change the arm that connect braking. I was never warned about this problem.

problem #1

RX 300

When braking there was a popping noise, and vehicle took longer to slow down. Consumer had to apply more pressure. This progressed to clicking and squealing associated with smell of fire, like rotors were grinding. Took to dealer, and they lubed the brakes, and pivoted points. This stopped the noise, but did not fix the problem. Consumer has continued to have the problem every 3000 miles.
