Lexus rx400h 2006 - abs - when applying brakes to slow down, if the car is on a bumpy road, the brakes seem to give out and the car lunges forward. this seems to happen as car switches from regenerative braking to regular brakes. i have reported this issue to the dealer several times, and they have yet to find any problem. *tr
We own a 2006 lexus rx 400h and occasionally when the brakes are pressed the car 'jumps' forward. we have taken our vehicle to the lexus dealership several times to report the issue but they always return and tell us nothing it wrong with the vehicles braking system. this event does not occur all the time, we are concerned that if we are required to stop suddenly to avoid an accident, etc. that our vehicle will jump and we will cause an accident. *tr
The regenerative brakes on my lexus rx 400h will stop working during normal braking operation causing the operator to have to apply more pressure to the break pedal to compensate for the loss of regenerative breaking. this is an intermittent problem and you never know when you will have to make a braking adjustment. this problem first started in december, 2007. i purchased the car in april, 2005. i do not feel that an operator of a vehicle should have to make sudden adjustments in their breaking action to compensate for the disengagement of a portion of the breaking system, especially when you never know if it is going to happen. i have taken this back to the lexus dealer on several occasions and they tell me that they believe the car is working normal, even when the problem is intermittent. *tr
