This week i got a flat tire, a screw in tire. One tire shop wouldn't repair it, so i parked the car a few days after they put the full-size spare on it. Then i drove it 20 miles with the spare, and it started activating the abs when i brake at gentle/normal speeds. So i had the flat tire repaired and thought the problem would go away. There is no change with the fixed tired put back on/balanced. The car activates abs every time i brake pretty much now. I do have awd, but this should not happen. I just bought this vehicle 3 months ago used & had it thoroughly inspected prior to purchasing it. This is a safety issue!

On 06/16/16 i pulled into driveway engage emergency brakes place vehicle in park and got off. Immediately i realized vehicle was rolling forward i attempted to start to brake and got nothing. I noticed that vehicle was in reverse i attempted to place in park and got nothing lever was free sliding not engaging any gears. I immediately got online to attempt to troubleshoot issue and ran into a handful of blogs relating to an issue in gear shifter cable with a plastic retaining clip which lexus uses on cable. I had no indication or any sort of warning of this issue before it occurred it just happen out of the blue and it could have been worse if i was actually on the road when this happened. I have read that lexus is not standing behind this mistake and feel that it is horrible to allow a company that sells such expensive vehicles to employ this practice and endanger consumers, specifically for such an inexpensive piece. I had to get under vehicle to manually engage trasmission into neutral to be able to start vehicle and properly park by again getting under vehicle and placing in reverse and the drive, i was unable to get back into park for some reason will lift vehicle in the morning and attempt to see why will also be attempting to repair and will then have more of an idea of the issue and pictures relating to this matter
