I have owned car since new. All service performed by same dealer on time. All repairs done as suggested by dealer. Air bags recall performed in 2006. New brakes within 6 months. Driving to my wife"s work (airport) on same route for 38 years (37 miles from residence). I observed red light and cars stopped 100 yards ahead 1/4 mile from destination. I applied brakes several times to no avail. I told my passengers that I could not stop and applied brakes several times again. Brakes did not go to floor. ...

I turned around in a parking lot by backing up and reversing my direction, after I reversed my direction the car shot forward without my foot on the gas pedal. I kept pumping the brake hoping it would stop and I shot out of the parking lot into the line of traffic and avoided two lanes of cars driving west until I collided with a car heading east. It ripped off the front bumpers of both cars. I felt trapped in the car and could not control it. It just kept accelerating. I wish that I had the presenceof mind to turn...

As I was driving along the road, two miles from my house in a residential area. The car suddenly and drastically began to accelerate. I remember vividly pressing the brake pedal multiple times but it failed to decelerate the car at all. Afraid as I was, I ceased to step on the brake or the gas pedal, the car continued accelerating and kept gaining momentum. At that point, I was trying to avoid hitting the cars in front and incoming cars from the other direction of the road. I drove for about a half mile on and off...

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 lexus ls430. The contact stated when the brake pedal was applied it extended to the floorboard and it had to be depressed several times in order for the vehicle to come to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a local mechanic who were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000 and the current mileage was 59,000.

After new brakes installed by lexus 11/03/2009, brakes became grabby. When front wheels were wet as in after washing, brakes would make a loud "groaning" noise & lock the driver front wheel causing car to pull to left. After numerous complaints to lexus, problem still not resolved as of 07/05/2011. Lexus continues to contend that this is normal...Even to include the wheel locking...Because it is wet. Speed to test essentially rolling only... Almost hit a pole in parking lot when stepping on brake after washing.

Approached an intersection with a red light while driving approximately 40mph. When I pressed my brakes from about a block away, my 2001 lexus ls430 suddenly surged. I had two feet on the brake and also tried to put the car in neutral, then park. The car did not slow down. Was going approximately 50mph when I rear-ended someone because my car would not stop. My car was totaled, both driver and passenger airbags deployed. I was using the floor mat that came with the vehicle and it was fastened. I filed a...

Dear sir: I bought my lexus ls 430 brand new in 2002, and I love it very much except for one thing: the brake system. When I press the brake, my ls430 skids (forward), and does not stop in time. I thought it was my old man's driving habits. But I decided to visit the lexus dealer. The lexus dealer, after driving the car, told me it is normal for the abs system to do that, and I should not press the brake hard. Well, I left the dealer, and a few meters away I was driving around 20-25 ml/h when the car ahead of...

Lexus ls 430 brakes failed moving into a parking space. Pressed on the breaks the surged forward went over a bump, curb, handicap sign and into the building. Was pressing on the brakes and the car just took off. *Tr

I was told by lexus dealer my 2004 ls430, with 27,000 miles needs brake pads replcement. Having driven similar cars for 16 years under same driving conditions, to me this represents a premature failure and should be reported.

I wanted to write to express my extreme disappointment in my lexus driving experience. I currently own a 2002 lexus ls 430 sedan that I purchased on december 28, 2005. Since then, I have had very serious problems with my braking system. First, my vehicle had been in the shop 7 times for my brakes. This is a very serious problem; my emergency brake comes on by itself. While I am driving the brake light comes on, I must pull over and stop the vehicle and pull the brake before the vehicle will move again. My...

My vehicle ls 430 02 has brake problems. My emergency brake engage it self, the light come on after I been driving. It been in the shop seven times and still come on. *Jb

Dt: the brakes did not work properly. The brakes were soft and mushy. It was like pushing on a pillow. It was hard to judge if they were going to work. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and said everything was normal. Have another lexus and it did not do this. Started noticing this on march 30, 2005. Rear ended another vehicle. *Ak
