| In oct of 2011 brakes would seem to lock up for no apparent reason...i took lexus to dealer and they could not establish any reason....this would happen, several times, again and after stopping would clear up and drive normally. the last time it stopped dead while driving in city traffic at arround 30 mph several dash lights came on such as; abs, vsc, check breaks, brake malfunction. i was able to get car to go again and took it to torrence lexus for their inspection...they are working on now....my wife will not drive the car for fear of the brakes locking up at high speeds....i'm getting to that point myself | |||
