Default Brake Actuator on a 2013 LS Went South

bought the car in March, before i left ATL i kept hearing a squawk/bark type noise when i pressed the brake all the way down and released. took it to my dealer when i got back to NY and of course they couldn't replicate the sound so i had to do it for them. they called Lexus Tech Line and sent a vid and they were instructed to to do the repairs. system was bled but the sound was still there, so they ordered a new Actuator and now the sound is gone. the SM told me that it was impossible for a 2013 LS to have a problem, "it's brand new he says". it took all my willpower not to slap the **** out of this dude. nothing is built perfect. the brakes are extra grabby now but i'll get used to it.

I guess even after 6 years they still cant get the brake actuator issue resolved. Kind of upsetting to say the least. The original owner of my car had it done before I bought the car
