Owner report 11191582 · 2019-03-26 (March 26, 2019)
VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED OF 30 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR SUDDENLY HAS SINGLE WHEELED FRONT BREAKING ON LEFT WHEEL OR RIGHT WHEEL ALL OF A SUDDEN.

THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO REVERSE AFTER FIRST STARTING ENGINE, SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND BACKING UP SHORT DISTANCE. THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE DOES IT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 30 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR IS QUITE DANGER…

Owner report 11255740 · 2019-09-16 (September 16, 2019)
HI THERE. HAVE BEEN A LATER OWNER OF A '00 LX470 WITH ROUGHLY 250K MILES. EARLY ON IN MY OWNERSHIP--WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND NO PRIOR WARNING-- THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND A LOUD BEEPING NOISE STARTS. WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY GOES DEAD (PUSHES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR), AND I WAS FORCED TO BRING THE CAR TO A SAFE STOP WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CURRENT REPAIR FOR THIS HAS BEEN COSTLY AND DIFFICULT--WITH A PROFESSIONAL SHOP INSPECTION INFORMING ME THAT MY MASTER CYLINDER/ACTUATOR HAS FAILED. THANKFUL NO DAMAG…
