Kurtz explained everything well. Tires are where the rubber meets the road.
Sorry to hear about that... looks like you need a new hood, bumper and grill I don't see anything too damaging. Glad to hear you're ok

I am glad to hear no one got injured, I am starting to believe Kurts knows everything since that was also my first thought about the tires.

If you mean like pedal sinks to the floor then you might have had air in the braking system or something, that's not normal or working correctly.
If you slam your foot on the brake (like in a panic stop) braking, and ABS engagement, should be pretty near instant on any modern car. |
Glad Ure ok man

Do you know how air gets into the braking system and how to avoid this ? I usually brake very light , gradually and slowly. Maybe that could have made my brakes like this.

It seems the car is between yr 09-10 based from the rims on AWD, but your front brakes seems like from IS350. Which ISx50 is it ?
The reason I asked it's because I had the exact same situation like you. There was one guy infront of me and did an emergency brake, and my IS250AWD just can't stop in time. Luckily, I didn't hit the car. I also notice the rpm jumps up from 3rd to 2nd shift during braking. Is it normal on the AWD models ? |

Sounds like someone did not bleed the brakes properly

I didn't get time to see the rpm, in both the instances I just thought , why is my car still going forward :uh: after braking hard. |

glad everyone involved is OK. **** happens. dust off your shoulders get your car fixed,, with the new tires,, and possibly brake upgrade. and get back on the road. your insurance will cover it,,, just be ready for your premium to increase, being that it was your fault so to speak. don't let it get you down. it is what it is,, just keep it moving.

Sorry to hear/see about it. But your story reminds me of yesterday morning when a similar thing happened to me. Had to "panic stop" on a down-hill grade no less. My IS350 did great! No tire slip or chirp, or ABS shutter at all. Sucks bro, but good luck on the repairs!

Does Lexus provide a loaner car during the period of repairing ?

I believe you, brah. I've almost had the same thing happen to me on a few occasions. I've had the car at the shop several times to complain about the lack of stopping power and long pedal travel before "biting". All times I've been told it 'checked out fine' and 'everything was within spec'
Glad to hear you're ok. BTW: spent a few months in your land circa late 90/early 91. Absolutely beautiful country with great people and phenomenal roads Jack I plan on possibly getting the 07 AWD brakes adjusted because at any speed if I press the brakes, if I press very softly I do feel it but not really much of a bite unless I press about a centimeter or more in; this differs than my 11 RWD where if I press the brakes, I can feel the biting immediately which gives a better linear control on the brakes. Were the brakes cold? I usually notice if the brakes are cold (ie, just started the car, or been on a the freeway for some amount of time and did not use the brakes), seems to be a bit over sensitive for the first few presses as the brakes just bite a bit too much, then it acts normal after the brakes have some heat in them. |
