Default 06 GX470 Rear Brakes Replaced & Parking Break Repaired

06 GX470 Had Rear Breaks Replaced and Parking Break Repaired, drove vehicle for approximately 450 miles, when turned into driveway the tires seemed to lock up and the VSC OFF light was on as well as the Center Differential Lock Indicator light? Could this have anything to do with the rear breaks being replaced or the parking break repair? I have 130,000 miles on the vehicle and have done all required maintenance according to the Lexus schedule.

Is it possible that the diff lock button was inadvertently pushed? When the diff lock is on the VSC lights up. Also the tires will definitely bind up on a dry hard surface with the diff lock in use.

Had to have car towed to repair shop. They put the car in neutral then pushed the differential button and the light went off. I do not ever remember pushing the button, but stranger things have happened. At least it did not cost me any money!!

Is anyone having problems with the passenger seat tracking. There is a black plastic looking stick that is coming from the tracking mechanism of the passenger seat. They said a clip was missing or broken. They tried to push it back in but did not happen, any suggestions on how to fix. I was told that I would have to replace the seat at a cost of $1,900??

he same issue on my 2004 gx470 was under warranty the costs were as follows . Lexus warranty paid for it

PASSENGERS SEAT RAIL ASSEMBLE $ 1965.00

I was unable to push the slide in if you put the passenger seat forward the slide would retract. If any one was sitting in the rear seat and I put the front passenger seat back that slide would infringe on the floor foot.
