smithy_1 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi all We have a 2011 IS250 which has started to feel sluggish on occasion whilst normal driving. It feels like driving with the handbrake on slightly, (even though its not). It comes and goes randomly. A few months ago we noticed the brake lights were still on after parking the car in the driveway and beginning to go inside. Had it looked at by the dealer at next service, and they found "no issues". Sometimes when driving at night, bumps will cause full reds on the brake lights even though no brake pedal has been pressed. So it seems the issue hasn't gone away and is getting worse. Does anyone know whether there are any known problems or issues with sticky brakes on this model? Or any other info that you have, before I ask the service manager to investigate again. My wife resorted to driving with her foot under the brake pedel lifting it up, she was so annoyed with it. Any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUZBLAZE Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I don't think it's an common issue. If it's getting worst definitely speak to the service guys, does seem like an safety concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlockyou Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Agree. never heard about this issue, it could be an safety issue if something happens with the brake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus Nerd Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Check this out. Possibly different symptoms, but it proves that there is such a thing as service centres over-tightening park brakes: http://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10405&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
