I drove my car over to pick my grandson up we went to the park, when I was taking him home the vsc code came on and said take care to dealer for service, engine light came on as well. I call and made an appointment immediately and they told me to leave the vehicle and they would run diagnostics see what was causing it. The next day they cleared the code called and told me to pick up. When I was leaving the same lights came on again (engine, vsc etc). Got out of the car and told service rep. That the same thing was happening again. I left the car over the weekend and they call and said it was a communication error and the computer wasn't communicating with the parking brake. I truly believe this is a safety issue and should be addressed by the manufacturer.

Lexus has a faulty brake actuator design. It's making clunking repetitive noises when brakes are depressed. Lexus knows of this faulty design but refuses to replace because they say it's not a safety issue. The noise alone will drive you crazy. Lexus of naperville, il wants to charge me $3000 to replace this component. If they do not rectify this problem I will never buy another Lexus again. Guarantee.
