Hey guys!
I recently starting pulling my 01 130k miles gs300 intothe drivway backwards. When I am coming to a stop, I've noticed the car will "shudder" back and forth (almost like the ABS is kicking in) but when im almost to a complete stop (the speed of pulling into the driveway). Car will also do it when im almost to a complete stop at a red light. The issue is intermitent and only happens sometimes. Im thinking its some sort of transmission problem. I checked the fluid, bright pink and levels are perfect. Wondering if anyone knows what the hell is going on or has had the same issue! Any questions, or if more details are needed, feel free to ask!

PS it is not warped rotors!

It's the ABS, I had the same thing happening to me. After a while, the magnets in the sensors get covered with metal dust and lose sensitivity. You can take them all out and clean them off to fix the problem.

this is your brake master cylinder going bad, search on clublexus for brake master cylinder and you will see the same symptoms. My sister had a 99 GS3 that had this problem whenever she was coming to a stop the pedal felt like ABS was kicking in and it vibrated and made noises. Good luck its expensive as F U C K

you sure about that? I thought those symptoms were clear indictaors of Master Cylinder failing

I would check the sensors first as that is the cheapest diagnosis. then go from there.
