ABS, TRACTION CONTROL , BRAKE, A YELLOW EXCLAMMATION POINT, RED BRAKE LIGHT ALL COME ON, AS WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD, AND THE BREAKS START TO FEEL SPONGEY AND NOT WORK AS WELL. THE ACTUATOR STARTS TO BUZZ EVERY FEW SECONDS TRYING TO KEEP PRESSURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT IT CANNOT DUE TO A LEAK IN THE ACCUATOR, IN WHICH THEN CAUSES THE ABS SYSTEM TO DEACTIVATE, A KNOWN PROBLEM OF THE LEXUS CT200H, MANY OF THE OTHER LEXUS HAD THIS PROBLEM AS A RECALL AS WELL- LEXUS SHOULD BE FIXING THIS FOR PEOPLE ITS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE BRAKES START TO NOT WORK OUT OF NO WHERE AND ITS NOT FAIR TO THE OWNER TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ENORMOUS BILL TO FIX WHEN ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF LEXUS! IT STATES ONLINE ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT CT200H VEHICLES MAY HAVE BRAKE, ABS AND OR TRAC WARNING LIGHTS ON OR A CHECK VSC MESSAGE DISPLAYED DUE TO A SMALL BRAKE FLUID LEAK INSIDE THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY WITH MASTER CYLINDER, ABS ACTUATOR FAILURE, AND ONLINE LISTS ALL THE CODES. IT SAYS IF THE CONDITION IS VERIFIED THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED WITH NEW BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLIES BUT NOT ALL LEXUS ESTABLISHMENTS ARE COOPERATING WITH THIS, AND ITS NOT SAFE!
