Consumer Description

HI THERE. HAVE BEEN A LATER OWNER OF A '00 LX470 WITH ROUGHLY 250K MILES. EARLY ON IN MY OWNERSHIP--WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND NO PRIOR WARNING-- THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND A LOUD BEEPING NOISE STARTS. WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY GOES DEAD (PUSHES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR), AND I WAS FORCED TO BRING THE CAR TO A SAFE STOP WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CURRENT REPAIR FOR THIS HAS BEEN COSTLY AND DIFFICULT--WITH A PROFESSIONAL SHOP INSPECTION INFORMING ME THAT MY MASTER CYLINDER/ACTUATOR HAS FAILED. THANKFUL NO DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO OTHER VEHICLES. *TR
