MY CAR HAS ONLY 80,000 MILES IS 2010 AND IS TELLING ME TO CHECK THE HYBRID SISTEM THE HYBRID BATTERY IS SUPPOSED TO WORK LONGER MORE MILES I REALLY NEED HELP

ON 8/16/19, I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK, AND WENT TO REVERSE MY VEHICLE OUT OF GARAGE, DOWN INCLINED DRIVEWAY, FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY OUT ACCOMPANIED BY WARNING BEEPING RAPIDLY. THE POWER STEERING ALSO LOCKED UP. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH DID STOP THE VEHICLE, I PUT IN CAR IN DRIVE AND WENT FORWARD INTO GARAGE AND PUSHED/LOCKED EMERGENCY BRAKE AGAIN TO STORE VEHICLE IN GARAGE ON FLAT SURFACE. CAR WAS TOWED TO LOCAL TOYOTA (LEXUS CERTIFIED) SERVICE SHOP. DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THAT ABS MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED REPAIR, ONCE REPAIRED THEY THEN TELL ME THE BOOSTER PUMP ALSO NEEDED REPAIR. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT IN 2013 THESE EXACT PARTS WERE RECALLED ON THIS SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL HOWEVER MY VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THIS RECALL. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL INITIALLY. IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE THAT THESE PARTS FOR THE 2010 LEXUS 250 H WERE IDENTIFIED AS DEFECTIVE, ALONG WITH 7 OTHER RECALLS FOR MY VIN ALONE. THE PREVIOUS DAY I HAD TAKEN A TRIP 2 HOURS AWAY, AND BACK HOME. HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY.

BRAKE BOOSTER NOT WORKING A SAFETY ISSUE TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING WITH THE PRIUS THEY USE THE SAME SYSTEM.

MY BRAKE BOOSTER FAILS WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER TOYOTAS NOT FOR LEXUS HS250H HAVE TO PAY OUT OF PACKAGE FOR REPAIR. THE REAR LIGHT IS LED AND THEY BURN OUT NO REPLACEMENT FROM LEXUS.

HARD BRAKE PEDAL - BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED IMPROPERLY HARD TO STOP. VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR TOYOTAS VEHICLES.

2010 LEXUS 250HS BRAKE ACTUATOR. DRIVING ALONG A CITY STREET GOING 55 MPH. SLOWING DOWN TO APPROACH A STOP LIGHT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL THE RED BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON. MY PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAVE NO BRAKES AND ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR INTO THE REAR END OF ANOTHER CAR. I HAD TO HIT THE CA SHIFTER INTO B MODE AND FLY INTO THE GRASS TO STOP. THERE WAS A CANAL RIGHT THERE I ALMOST WENT INTO. THIS WAS A RECALL IN 2010 AND VIN SPECIFIC. I HAVE READ A MILLION FORUMS THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. MY CER HAS 81,000 MILES ONLY. LEXUS CORPORATE SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE 2,400 PART/LABOR. I THINK THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THIS PART CAN GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. I DRIVE OVER A HIGH BRIDGE TO GET TO WORK. WHAT WOUND THEY HAVE DONE WHEN GETTING A LAW SUIT WHEN I'M BELLY UP IN THE OCEAN IF BY BRAKES WENT OUT ON THE BRIDGE. THIS CAR HAD A "ABS UPDATE" IN 2010 BECAUSE THIS MODEL WAS HAVING ISSUES THEN. THEY CLEARLY DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR LIVES. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN. IF THIS HAPPENS AND I DIE BECAUSE I HAVE TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES FOR A SECOND TIME WHO'S THE DUMB ONE? ME FOR KEEPING THE CAR OR LEXUS FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS CHRONIC ISSUE?!

WHEN I RUN OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR HIT ANYTHING IN THE STREET, MY CAR GOES INTO A FIT ALMOST HITTING THE OTHER CARS. ITS LIKE AFTER THAT, HE MOVES REALLY FAST FORCING IT TO GO FASTER AND MY FOOT IS NOT EVEN ON THE BREAKS...

I HAVE A COMPLETE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER A LOT WHEN I RUN OVER A BUMP AND THEN MY CAR ACCELERATE FASTER ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT SOMEONE IN THE REAR.
