I AM EXPERIENCING AN ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTUATOR FAILURE. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE IT GIVES THE WARNING "STOP THE VEHICLE AND CONTACT A DEALER". I HAVE DID THIS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT TOYOTA/LEXUS IS AWARE OF AS THEY HAVE ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT AND OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS LIMITED BY MILEAGE AND YEARS. BEING A KEY SAFETY COMPONENT IN VEHICLE OPERATION, I AM REQUESTING THIS ISSUE BE CONVERTED INTO A RECALL. I HAVE TRIED TO GET REPAIR ASSISTANCE FROM LEXUS CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY DENIED THE REQUEST BASED ON MILEAGE.
