LEXUS HS 2010 car safety problem was reported on Nov 08, 2009.LEXUS HS 2010, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE . I PURCHASED A LEXUS HS250 IN OCTOBER 2009. SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS FROM THE END OF OCTOBER 2009 TO EARLY FEBRUARY 2010 IN WHICH I BRAKED WITH THE INTENTION OF COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN IN THE BRAKING PROCESS, THEN THE BRAKES STALLED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE RESUMING THE BRAKING ACTION. IT IS UNEXPECTED AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR BRAKES ARE COMPLETELY STALLING OR NOT. FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS, EVERYTHING JUST GIVES WAY BEFORE THE BRAKES SEEM TO BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. IN THAT SITUATION, YOU DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO PRESS DOWN A SECOND TIME ON THE BRAKE OR TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL OR NOT DO ANYTHING. WHEN THIS EVENT HAPPENS, YOU FEEL AS IF YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, SIMILAR TO DRIVING ON A SHEET OF ICE, EXCEPT NONE OF THOSE SAFETY RULES SEEM TO APPLY HERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT EVERY FEW WEEKS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE, BUMP, OR A POTHOLE IN THE STREET WHILE BRAKING. WHILE I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH, IT HAS WORRIED ME THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO ONE. *JB.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBB1BA7A2. Lexus Hs 2010 problem was reported in BIRMINGHAM, AL. Vehicle was purchased on 20091001. Vehicle was using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS. FUEL SYSTEM:Fuel injection. FUEL TYPE: GAS.

WHEN AT A MID-SPEEDS (TYPICALLY 35 TO 50 MPH) AND ONE TRIES TO BRAKE ON A ROUGH, UNEVEN OR LOOSE GRAVEL SURFACE, THE CAR ACCELERATES AGAINST THE DRIVER'S BRAKING. THIS IS PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC WHEN MAKING A TURN FROM A BUMPY OR UNEVEN ROAD. THE ACCELERATION FORCE OVERPOWERS THE DRIVER'S BRAKING AND MAKES THE TURN DIFFICULT CAUSING THE DRIVER POTENTIALLY TO OVERSHOOT THE TURN. THIS ACCELERATION AGAINST BRAKING HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON STRAIGHT ROAD DRIVING WHEN ONE BRAKES FROM MID-SPEEDS ON UNEVEN, BUMPY OR LOOSE GRAVEL ROADS. THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR.Mileage was 7358 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBB1BA5A2. Lexus Hs 2010 problem was reported in HOUSTON, TX.

APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO WHILE TRAVELING NORTH ON LINCOLN STREET AND BRAKING HARD TO SLOW FOR A LEFT TURN ONTO COLFAX WITH A GREEN LIGHT, I EXPERIENCED MOMENTARY BRAKE FAILURE AND WENT INTO THE INTERSECTION UNABLE TO SLOW OR STOP. THE STREET IN THE FAR LEFT TURN LANE HAS SEVERAL LARGE BUMPS AND I INITIALLY ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO THE CAR'S SUSPENSION WHEN I FILLED OUT A SURVEY FOR LEXUS. SINCE THAT EVENT, I HAVE HAD TWO MORE SIMILAR PROBLEMS AT THE SAME INTERSECTION. ON FEBRUARY 5, I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND PROVIDED THEM IMFORMATION SIMILAR TO THE ABOVE DETAILS. THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUES REPORTED WITH THE 2010 PRIUS AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THAT RESEARCH. *CN.Mileage was 1750 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2HNYD186X5H.

WHEN I FULLY ENGAGED MY BRAKES THE CAR AHEAD OF ME WAS ABOUT 40 YARDS AWAY. WHEN I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND BEGAN SLOWLY TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND CONTACTED LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE RESPONSE: [THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING NORMALLY. YOU ARE EITHER USING THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE AT SAME TIME OR JUST EXPERIENCING THE GAS ENGINE STARTING UP WHICH IS GIVING YOU THE SENSATION OF MOVING WHEN YOU ACTUALLY AREN'T MOVING. THIS SENSATION IS NORMAL FOR BOTH PRIUSES AND HS 250 MODELS.] I CAN USUALLY TELL WHEN THE GAS ENGINE FIRES UP AND THE SENSATION IS DEFINITELY DIFFERENT THAN THE SCARY PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING. WHEN ASKED WHAT TO DO IF THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT THE RESPONSE WAS: [CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY]. CLEARLY LEXUS HAS NO INTENTION OF ADMITTING THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG. NO SALESPERSON INFORMED US THAT THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CAR INCLUDES SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR THE "SENSATION" OF IT. TWO INCIDENTS CAUSED MY WIFE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR`IN FRONT AND ONE INCIDENT CAUSED ME TO HIT AN OBJECT IN MY GARAGE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1200 miles.
