Complete failure is impending with a C1391 code and loss of power brakes. Toyota has offered a CSP to address this issue but only for a very limited time and at the time of creation of said TSP only covered model years up to 10 years old. 2011-2013 CT200h m https://plaincars.com/make/lexus-ct https://plaincars.com/make/lexus-ct#complaint-2127461 Fri, 05 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT At ~101,000 miles, my 2012 Lexus CT200h triggered error code C1307, indicating a failure of the brake pressure accumulator / brake booster system.

Therefore, the actuator will buzz every few seconds trying to keep pressure in the braking system to a safe operating level of gas pressure to no avail due to this leak in the actuator. After it quits buzzing from shutting the car https://plaincars.com/make/lexus-ct https://plaincars.com/make/lexus-ct#complaint-2116381 Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT I’m reporting a serious safety issue with my 2014 Lexus CT200h involving the brake booster and ABS pump/accumulator system.

The brake pedal went soft when pressed and all the associated warning lights illuminated. ABS, traction, control, etc. This is a known issue for Toyota and Lexus, and even after servicing my vehicle at the dealer for the last two years I was never notified that this was a concern. https://plaincars.com/make/lexus-ct https://plaincars.com/make/lexus-ct#complaint-2081022 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMT Please add to previous filings / communications - thank you. PROBLEM PARTS: Satellite Radio and/or AM-FM Radio; Bluetooth; Speaker System; Unknown Device The parts have not malfunctioned however, there appears to be a person and/or group attaching to my vehicle via several conduits related to any radio input and/or speakers.

The current policy deems vehicles eligible for recall based on a set criterion: the vehicle must be under 10 years of age or under 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. The term “whichever comes first” disregards the importance of “mileage https://plaincars.com/make/lexus-ct https://plaincars.com/make/lexus-ct#complaint-2051332 Sat, 28 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT accumulators begin to leak internally, as they share the same part numbers. Therefore, the actuator will buzz every few seconds trying to keep pressure in the braking system to a safe operating level of gas pressure to no avail due to this leak in the actuator. After it quits buzzing from shutting the car off, you can hear the air leak hissing the pressure away. There are tons and tons of articles
