NHTSA Complaint #11307011 — 2007 LEXUS LS

THE ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN DEEMED FAULTY IN SEVERAL TOYOTA/LEXUS VEHICLES. INSTEAD OF THE A RECALL BEING ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT WAS PUT IN PLACE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FOR ANYONE WHO TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP. HOWEVER WITH OUT A RECALL MOST PEOPLE WHO WERE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WAS NOT AWARE TO HAVE THE PART CHECKED AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, A VERY EXPENSIVE PART THAT SHOULD NOT NORMALLY FAIL AND WITH OUT A RECALL OR A LETTER FROM LEXUS/TOYOTA A LOT OF PEOPLE WAS PUT AT A DISADVANTAGE WITH BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT EXPIRED. WHILE IN MOTION I RECEIVED ALL KIND OF ERROR LIGHTS AND A MESSAGE TO PULL MY VEHICLE OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND NOTIFY THE DEALER. AT THIS TIME MY ABS SYSTEM IS COMPROMISED AND I HAVE NO TRACTION CONTROL AND MY ABS ACTUATOR CONTINUES TO VIBRATE EVEN WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF WHICH IS USING THE BATTERY EVEN MORE. IT PULSATES THE ENTIRE TIME THE CAR IS RUNNING ALSO. I FEEL WITH LEXUS KNOW THIS IS A FAULTY PART IT ON SEVERAL OF THEIR VEHICLES CUSTOMERS THAT WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE OR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT SHOULD NOT BE HELD LABILE WITH THE REPAIR COST WHICH IS 1800 FOR THE PART AND 300-400 FOR LABOR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT SHOULD BE EXTENDED AND ALL OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE NOTIFIED AND LEXUS/TOYOTA SHOULD COMPENSATE WITH A REPLACEMENT PART ALL THE OWNERS OF VEHICLES WHICH WAS EFFECTED. THIS TOOK PLACE WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE. MY BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO USE.
