2014 Lexus CT - SERVICE BRAKES Failure Complaint (#b0e920)

2014 Lexus CT

• Date of Incident: Jun-01, 2024
• Date complaint filed: Jun-12, 2024
• Failed components: SERVICE BRAKES

The brake accumulator loosing pressure for the brake booster and abs, the actuator will buzz every few seconds trying to keep pressure in the braking system to a safe operating level of gas pressure. It isn't holding pressure due to this leak in the actuator. This is a very serious issue which endangers the lives of others due this brake failure is not being fully addressed. There is not much stopping distances after this suddenly occurs. In the process, the abs, traction control, brake, a yellow exclamation mark, lights suddenly all come on the dash at once and the brake feels like a sponge very suddenly, and the car has little to no brakes. This can lead to a major accident. Toyota/ lexus have an extended warranty that expires in at a 10 year mark or 150k miles but several complaints of this failure has been just after that time usually with in a few months and come at a high cost of repair almost $3-4k, fortunately i searched the internet for the warranty info and my vehicle is just under the warranty period by a few days and couple miles but the amount of people who currently drive these toyota/lexus models that may experience this failure is pretty high
