problem #1

Mar 302005

LS 430 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,900 miles
The brakes did not work properly. The brakes were soft and mushy. It was like pushing on a pillow. It was hard to judge if they were going to work. Took the vehicle to the dealer, and said everything was normal. Have another Lexus and it did not do this. Started noticing this on March 30, 2005. Rear ended another vehicle.
