SERVICE BRAKES
05/03/2012	25000	1
	After feeling that my brakes hadn't worked properly at a stop light (i almost skid through it), i was traveling about 35 mph around a curve and lightly pressed on the brakes to make sure i would slow down. unbelievably, my brakes completely failed and i actually believe i sped up while at the same time my steering went out of control. i was unable to control or stop the car. after a few seconds i was able to pull off to the right and mud slowed me down enough to come to a stop. it was a truly petrifying experience and the tow truck driver confirmed that my brakes were completely non-functioning when he had to use the emergency brake to get my car on his truck. lexus claimed that they could find nothing wrong with the car, however, which i find to be extremely disturbing. i pray that they do not attempt to resell or lease this car. *tr

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
03/10/2010	2000
	2010 lexus gx 460 driven by my wife. at approx 30 mph the brakes were applied hard to avoid a car changing lanes and the vehicle entered an immediate left skid without wheels skidding due to braking. the brake pressure was released when a it was apprent a collision would be avoided and the vehicle made a violent jerking return to straight travel. this occured on dry pavement and easily could have led to a serious accident. no accident happened only due to my wife's driving skills. appears the stability control did not work as advertised.
