| Service brakes, march 13, 2011 - mansfield ma i purchased my 2010 lexus rx 450h in december 2010. ever since i bought it, i have noticed that from time to time, when i press the brake pedal, the car seems to surge forward(!) momentarily before it slows down. this happens most frequently. it will happen even if i am only coasting and not touching the gas pedal when pressing the brake initially. it happens to me at least once or twice a week. it is somewhat disturbing. i have mentioned this to my lexus dealer, but they have dismissed my concerns both times i brought it up. has anyone else noticed this issue? view details | |||

| I purchased my 2010 lexus rx 450h in july of 2009. ever since i bought it, i have noticed that from time to time, when i press the brake pedal, the car seems to surge forward(!) momentarily before it slows down. this happens most frequently when driving over bumpy roads. and it will happen even if i am only coasting and not touching the gas pedal when pressing the brake initially. it happens to me at least once or twice a week. it is somewhat disturbing. i have mentioned this to my lexus dealer, but they have dismissed my concerns both times i brought it up. i noticed this even before i had heard of the toyota recall on hybrid prius brakes, but from what i read, the issue sounds similar to the prius hybrid 2010 problems. but there is so far no recall on lexus 2010 hybrid brakes. has anyone else noticed this issue? | |||
