My 2008 Lexus ls600hl has a defective brake actuator. Lexus is aware of the issue on these cars and put out a warranty enhancement on the actuator but only for certain Ls that fall within a certain VIN# range. My vehicle VIN did not make it into the warranty enhancement but is experiencing the issues stated in the enhancement letter down to the T. all started yesterday when I almost totaled out because the brakes completely failed when I was driving on the highway at 50mph. Lights came on the dash and I could not stop the vehicle. I was able to run onto the shoulder of the road while downshifting the car to slow it down eventually getting it to a stop with minimal damage to my car. Found out later after getting it towed it needs a brake actuator. I am under the 150,000 warranty enhancement (I am at 125,000) mark but my VIN is not on the repair enhancement list so I cant get it repaired under the warranty. This should of affected by years not by VIN specification. I need this fix and Lexus wants $4000 for something that should be covered under warranty enhancement.

(hesitation on acceleration) this morning going to work L notice that the car wasn't acting right. I was at the yield left turning lane was turning right before other incoming car come. As I was turning the acceleration didnt go no where as it feel like the car was going up a very high hill. I was so scare that another car coming stright and hit me and some how the acceleration just pick up and start going as it has no power to it. The only reason why im reporting this is because this is a very and could be an dangerous problem not to myself but other to and I have search up this problem on the web and there alot iof people that have this problem beside me. Is there anything your can do to resolve this problem? I dont want to have to drive an Lexus and have to deal with this headache.
