brake actuator
I just experienced a month long dilemma thankful it is over. So I will cut to the chase. I was diagnosed to be in need of front brakes. Tires a bit of rotor turning the works. I went to the dealer who replaced my front brakes and rotated the rotors. He then told me I would not get rid of the noise until I change the back brakes later. I then went I for brake fluid change which was advised to do. Said brake are ok need rear pads in future. I put a set of tires Michelin All Weather TSMP re-set then
I took the car in for rear brakes and installed new rotors. then the speed sensor came of hence the change. Had brakes do at another shop then went to the dealer to make sure everything was ok they said the backs look good but I have so many codes I have to bring the car in later. They said I needed rear speed sensor and maybe more. Then ABS, TRAC ,SKID BRAKE LIGHT WITH WARNING CAME ON. ALSO stop immediately and call dealer. They said drive it in then I was told I need a new Brake ABS ACTUATOR PUMP PART $2400.00 NEW IMPROVED MODEL AND 400.00 LABOR that's $3,000 with taxes. I already have to pay at 79,000 miles $5000,00 dollar for all new control arms in front end. Also have recall on top of engine recall. I just was inform that there was no brake fluid in either of my rear calipers and the BRAKE ACTUATOR was fine. Now one of the reasons to change out all the brake fluid was to insure there was adequate fluid throughout the system including the rear calipers. I have been driving for two weeks and the car is driving like the four Lexus vehicles I have brought in the past.
Now is my confidence back I in the Lexus Vehicle , the dealer, the manufacturer or the unknown man that serviced my vehicle properly. By the way he charged me $400.00 with tax for putting the part and taking it back off bleeding the brakes and it's on sale on EBAY.
