What 2007 Lexus GS Hybrid owners say

Brakes

Car has been serviced in two Lexus delaerships in the last 2 months....car started blinking the stability control lights and steering started intermittnetly working and the brakes were at 50%. I was able to the stop the car and shut it down when I restarted the no warning lights were on. The steering feel was back to normal and so were the brakes. I accelerated up to about 5 miles per hour...and the lights went off with alarms and the steering and brakes completely malfunctioned and would not work and I hit a parked car because of no ability to control the car. No warning signs before that. This was on a small city side street in front of a school

95,000 miles · Aug 2016 · crash

This is part of complaint 11140678 filed with nhsta. I meant to attach the warranty enhancement for the ABS actuator. This is a known issue with Toyota/Lexus and I feel that it is more than a warranty concern. This is a malfunction of a part that is safety concern to the highways and beyond. I also am concern if this was an issue looked at when Toyota had the "unintended acceleration" issue where drivers were not able to stop. These cars go far beyond the regular 150,000 mile cutoff for the enhanced warranty mileage given of the vehicles listed in the warranty. In this particular warranty, my car is not listed at first but if you scroll down the attached warranty it appears. More than 736,000 vehicles according to this document are covered by this warranty, however I am pretty sure that many were not fixed and this is a concern to people driving. …
