I'm wondering if your rotors are warped? When was the last time they were changed?

You will also feel vibration on the foot when pressing brake if the rotors are warped.

Do you know if your RX was ever serviced for the brake booster recall?

got the call from the dealer, they first replace the check valve that did not fix the problem, next, they replace the brake booster that did not fix the problem either, so now they are saying its the ABS actuator. they are waiting for LEXUS response if they can cover the repair cost. cause its not typical for the actuator to go bad, hopefully LEXUS cover the cost, its around $2500, Parts($2200).
