Brake pressure has been lost over time. Car is harder to get to a stop during motion because the brake pedal goes all the way down even before starting up. Brake pads still have a good amount of ceramic left. Car has already been service and the problem still persist. I noticed there was an open recall back in 2010 but I never received a notice.

There Is a loud noise coming from under the hood when you press on the brakes. When stepping on the brake before coming to a full stop there Is a pumping noise. From the front engine area. The brakes locked up on me when I was parked and trying to start the car and I was unable to start the car. I pumped the brakes and turned the wheel and it started. When sitting still at a light with my foot on the brake the noise from the front engine area gets louder. The sound Is a loud, knocking, ideling sound. It feels like something Is stuck, like the car Is trying to run properly but cant because something Is stopping it. This feels like an ABS system issue. I have heard that other Lexus owners are having the same issue with this same make and model. This Is a dangerous issue that needs to be looked into. This Is an across the board issue and Is affecting way more than just a few custermers.
