Lexus ES 2013+ :: Brake Light Burned Out
My brake light burned out. It's a led light. Lexus says the entire lens bracket needs to be replaced. So you can't replace just the bulb. First, it seems odd that the LED light burned out on a 2013 car. Aren't they supposed to last quite a while. Second, bulbs wouldn't be covered under warranty. So am I just SOL?

Yesterday the brake warning light came on in my 13 350. I checked, and the fluid level in the master cylinder was at the "min" line. I don't think I've ever had to had brake fluid in any car before. Seems to be Ok today, but I was wondering if other folks have had this happen? Of course if it happens again I'll have to check the brake system. Just wanted to check.

I'm close to purchasing a 2014 RX 450h and thought I wanted PCS, but am not sure about the false positives. For all of you that have PCS, do you get false positives causing alarms and braking to happen for no reason? I ask because I am probably going to special order one and am debating on adding this feature or not.
On a quick side note - it appears that the automatic braking will happen on all RX's except for the RXh AWD. Why not? I don't know, and Lexus people couldn't answer my question either.
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Pre-Collision System On / Off Switch Location
I have the subject system in my car. US Spec IS350 RWD F-Sport. The manual says the on/off switch is to the left of the steering wheel on the lower part of the dash. I have no such switch in that location.... Where is PCS on/off switch.

I got a TSB done on my clunk about a year ago. The old clunk felt like the car was hit from behind at a low speed collision (I have the experience). But now the car has developed a different type of clunk. Now it feels like something is hitting me from directly below my feet. I can actually feel the vibration right between the sit and pedals. What gives now? Is it the same thing, anything to worry about?
View 4 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Right Daytime Headlight Doesn't Work - Exposed Wires On Front Collision Sensor
So I got my new GTI yesterday. There were 3 problems with this car that are going to be easy fixes but don't breathe an air of confidence in the assembly of this car. I don't have pics of everything due to Christmas madness but here are the three things I've found wrong with the car so far.
1) right daytime running headlight doesn't work.
2) there is no mirror light drivers side. Only a hole.
3) there are exposed wires on the front collision sensor.
Like I said these are simple fixes but disappointing on a brand new car.
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Momentary Loss Of Acceleration - Collision Detection System
Twice now I've been driving and there was a few second lull where pressing the gas did nothing. The first time I was passing a car on the right, and the other I was pulling out between two cars to make a left on a busy road. Is there some kind of collision detection system that's causing the loss of acceleration? It's odd that the 2 times it happened I was so close to other vehicles. It's concerning since I needed to pull out quickly the second time and I was stuck for a few seconds without acceleration.

I noticed the front brake pads were touching the rotors when I was painting the brake calipers. I had my e-brake engaged and in park. I'm assuming the e-brake only brakes the rear wheels because the front rotors were still movable. Although the car still rides fine but I'm not sure if this is normal.

Sounds like worn out brake pads but it is way before they are supposed to get worn out. Took it to dealer they said brakes still have a lot left on them, but it still squeaks like crazy every time I stop. Taking it to dealer again. I am thinking something is defective, pads or rotors, as I just heard another new Santa fe have the exact same squeaking as they were driving along. My car is at 30k km.

I have noticed that my car do a noise when I brake and it come to a halt. It's hard to describe, but it's sound like "put". A little bit like a shock noise, but my shock doesn't make any noise when I go over bump. I had a loaner car while my car was in for rattles, and there was no noise like that. What it could be? It's not very loud, but still I notice it.

I was having ABS Brake Malfunction alarms. After turning the car off/on it would reset. It took the dealer time to figure it out because it would not leave any error code on the computer. They finally got it to have the issue while their computer was connected and could see the error code. They then discovered there is a technical bulletin for this issue. The ABS Actuator Assembly needs to be replaced.

I have a clicking/banging noise when I hit the brake while I am backing up. It only does it when the brakes are cool. I tried bringing it in to the dealership, with the service tech with me, no matter what I do drive forward and back hitting the brakes hard it won't do it. But as soon as the brake cools off and try backup from a drive way you can hear it and its annoying as hell. I thought it was ball joint went bad but they assure me it wasn't the ball joint.
The service tech said the brake pad expands when it heats up. Okay fine, but how come only my front left does it. I was thinking some spacer or clips fell off...
