YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!!!
FILE A COMPLAINT about the BRAKE ACTUATOR with NHTSA, even if you have already had the problem fixed under warranty, they need to know about it.
Even if you already paid out of pocket, they need to know about it, and you may get reimbursed if a recall goes ahead.
Lexus knows this is a problem. They need to step up to the plate.
I called the NHTSA today and they do not have one single complaint for this issue (they do now
).
If we want to make Lexus cover it we ALL need to file a complaint with the NHTSA.
If you have/had a problem with the brake actuator go to http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects
and file a complaint (click at the top right of the screen "file a complaint")
Your information will not be given to Lexus.

I've been driving a 1998 LS for twelve years, I'm the second owner, now with about 240,000 mi. I'm in the market for a 460 but am concerned with this brake actuator problem, the air shock, as well as the control arm problem. Has Lexus addressed these issues in the middle years, specifically the 2010/11/12? I've searched the threads here and haven't found an answer. I'm not a mechanic!

(I test drove the 2018 and liked the outside, (could reluctantly live with the front grill), and the back seat area was great, but the front felt very confining with so much equipment up by the rear view mirror and the high hump from the heads-up display; plus the two massive dash vents were ugly. Also not a fan of the run flat tires. The final nail in the coffin was the mouse actuator. With some reluctance I passed on the LS but I am now very, very happy with a 2018 Porsche Panamera Hybrid (incredible car) - just hope it has something near the reliability of the LS.)

I too am currently having issues with my 2008 RX400H with 160K and am pissed that the Toyota "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM - ZG1" doesn't pop-up when you do a recall search on my vehicle. My vehicle was past expiration by 6 months and Toyota would not honor the warranty program. If I would have known about the warranty program when Toyota first announced it then I would have been more perceptive to any initial signs of the brake actuator going bad and taken it in to dealer. Anyone wanting to know more in-detail about the "ZG1 - Warranty Enhancement Program" can read the attachment. I also urge anyone with Toyota/Lexus with brake issues to also file complaint!
