Consumer Description

Pre Collision System light on dash, abs lights, traction lights etc Error Code C1391which requires a Brake Booster pump AND a Brake booster pump kit due to a MALFUNCTION which should be manufacturers responsibility. They launched a customer support program for a very short period (you had to have the error during this short time) and EXCLUDED all HS250h from the Secondary Coverage period by noting expiry if vehicle is over 10years which they were past that at the time of LAUNCHING THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM which is completely unethical and negligent to their customers. I was never notified of this program. This short time frame under the program leaves MOST customers with these vehicles at risk. A safety RECALL should've been done as this is a big safety issue. It is not safe to drive with a bad brake booster because it significantly compromises your vehicle's braking power, making it dangerous. A failing brake booster can cause a vacuum leak, which can lead to the engine stalling when you apply the brakes. Unreliable and worsening problem: The issue is likely to get worse over time, and you could be caught off guard by a complete failure, leaving you with dangerously unreliable brakes. Vehicle has been inspected by Lexus and Toyota, both quoting astronomical fees associated with Brake booster replacement due to malfunction. Lexus Customer Brand Support was of no help, just repeatedly stating that the program expired and that it is up to me if i want to pursue legal action because this needs to be resolved by lexus. There have been class action suits and accidents due to this malfunction and I will pursue legal action as this is complete negligence by Lexus.
