Consumer Description

LEXUS HAS A FAULTY BRAKE ACTUATOR DESIGN. IT'S MAKING CLUNKING REPETITIVE NOISES WHEN BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED. LEXUS KNOWS OF THIS FAULTY DESIGN BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE NOISE ALONE WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY. LEXUS OF NAPERVILLE, IL WANTS TO CHARGE ME $3000.00 TO REPLACE THIS COMPONENT. IF THEY DO NOT RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER LEXUS AGAIN. GUARANTEE. *TR
