Lexus SC430 Brake problems by year

While driving home one day four warning lights lit up: VSC, VSC OFF, ABS & BRAKE, plus a very loud warning tone. I cautiously drove home thinking at any moment my brakes may not stop the car in time. I arrived at home & parked in the garage. I needed some time to think what I should do. I decided to move the car out of the garage. I started it up and began to back out, I applied the brakes to slow down but it did not. I quickly used the parking brake to stop it. The driveway is steep so I decided the best place for...

Driving the car under normal conditions at about 45 mph and the brakes went completely out without any warning. Im fortunate that I didn't crash the vehicle into something or someone! Contacted lexus to let them know the issue and they basically laughed it off !! Poor customer service!! *Tr

My brakes failed completely. Is there a recall on this car. *Tr

The consumer had problems with 2003 lexus sc430. *Kb ***nar*** when the driver applied the brakes the vehicle pulled to the left. The consumer feels that the problem was with either the brakes or steering. The dealer suggested replacing the tires but offered no information on where to purchase them.

Consumer complaint regarding excessive wear on brake pads and the inside of all four tires. *Ts the audio system would switch from cd to radio intermittently while driving. The navigation system would go blank at times. There was a crackling sound coming from the right rear speaker. *Jb

When driving on uneven pavement steering wheel jerks hard to the left and right when braking, occasionally changing to another lane. The dealer was contacted. *Ak *sc

The car failed to start six times in the first five months. It seems they have found the cause of that problem. However, the car continues to make clunking noise whenever it goes over a bump. Lexus tells me that is normal. I say it sounds like a 1973 dodge I owned 30 years ago. The car also pulls to the right at low speeds. Again I'm told this is normal and is a result of the run flat tires. If so, they should use other tires. Parking brake light continues to come on intermittently. I have requested that this car be replaced repeatedly. Lexus has refused.

The car veers violently to the left or to the right when braking on a road that is not completely smooth. Depending upon the unevenness in the road, the car will jerk the steering wheel violently either way. We have had the car actually change lanes when braking. Lexus says that this is normal action for this car. If so, there are a lot of people in danger who are driving this model car. This has happened since the car was new. It now has about 3300 miles on it. *Nlm

While in motion and in inclement weather, the vehicle went into a 360* spin, while moving at only 25 mph. The vehicle lost all traction. The brakes on the vehicle are inoperable. While on an incline and braking from about 5 mph the vehicle jumped an island before the brakes stopped it. *Jg
