WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED, CAUSING IT TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF LEXUS/TOYOTAS PRODUCED AROUND THIS TIME. INSTEAD OF WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT (WHICH MY CAR NO LONGER QUALIFIES FOR), THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SO ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULTY COMPONENT CAN BE PROPERLY REPAIRED. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS QUOTED FROM THE DEALER AT $3800!
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN BURN OIL RAPIDLY. I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE IS DOWN TO 2 QUARTZ OF ENGINE OIL. I HAVE KEPT THE CAR ON SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.

I WENT ONLINE TO CHECK AND IT SEEMS LEXUS GS MODEL FROM 2006-2011 HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. LEXUS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE COST FOR THE FIX.
