Had to replace the brake fluid in the vehicle at 30000 miles. lexus requires this supposedly to maintain the integrity of the braking system and provide a safe vehicle. i feel this is a safety defect in the design. any vehicle' shouldbe robust enough to last much longer than this without this level of service being required by the manufacturer. if the vehicle does really need this, than lexus should cover it under warranty. brakes also required disassembly and cleaning at 15000 miles at customers expense. *tr
I went out to grab a bite to eat for my daughter and i came to a stop light at a major intersection. i received the turn arrow so i accelerated thru the turn and then punched the gas to make it thru the next light that will turn red if you don't give it a little gas to get thru it. i make it thru the light and get in the right lane to slow down to make my turn and my brakes don't work and my car starts accelerating on its own. i have no control of the speed so i throw the car in neutral and keep slamming the brakes while the brake malfunction light appears. i'm not sure how my car slows down and i make a right turn into a parking lot and my engine is still sounding like it is accelerating and i am in neutral. my car rolled to a stop, i shut it down and called the lexus line. the had a towing company out within an hour and the tow truck driver told me this is at least the 10th time he has hauled this type of car for the same thing. *tr
