Problem With my New 2010 LEXUS GX460 Brakes Problems!
Hey guys,
I purchased My new 2010 LEXUS GX460 Premium 2 weeks ago. Since ive bought it ive noticed at a stoplight that the car slowly moves if i don't put a firm foot on the brake. Yesterday i took it to my local dealer where i bought it from and waited an hour. The Asst Service Manager comes and tells me that their is definitely a problem and he won't know until next week on how to resolve the problem. My car has 800 Miles on it. They Arrange a loaner car for me a 2004 lexus rx330 with (70,000 miles) on it. Im "under the age of 21" so that is all they said they could provide me.
I go outside and look at this loaner and their was peeling paint, ripped leather, smell of smoke inside. He said he can't give me corporate lexus owned vehicles because of insurance. I told the service manager to find me a brand New GX460 to drive if he can't provide a decent loaner. I then go to my salesman and he gives me his demo (2010 Lexus RX350 with 5,500 miles) better, but i still miss my GX!
I can't believe they had the ***** to give me a POS loaner car! They should have found this problem during PDI.
Just checking to see if anyone else has this problem

Yeah, I have this same problem and so does everyone else. My dealer says it's normal. Let us know what they come up with. I'm surprised they told you something is wrong. I also think it's not normal, but dealers are telling everyone it's normal. I've never owned a vehicle that's done this before...

I've read that 460's brakes have been designed and engineered to have a little more travel for better off-roading performance. They also said because of this you have to hold the brake firmer than normal at a stop.

fyi, there is a bit more pedal travel than other suvs, could be do to brake by wire systems, but no problem with mine. pedal doesnt go all the way to floor though, probably 1/3 of way down to hold it at idle.
how far down did the pedal go?
another question, whats a kid like you doing with a gx, let alone all those other lexi on your signature?

i've always thought this was normal with automatic cars. Possibly our brake pads are not that soft and it doesn't grip well while stopped. soft pads will wear out very quickly, especially on heavy cars like the gx and ohter suvs, so you don't neccesarily want pads that are too soft.

Mine does EXACTLY the same thing and I hate it. Interestingly, my 2001 4runner does not do it at all. In fact, you can take your foot off the brake at a red light and it does not move forward. I'd be VERY interested in hearing if there's a fix bc I hate the fact that I have to jam my foot on the brake to keep it from rolling. I too would like to know what dealer you went to that agreed it was a problem!

This is probably a dumb question but what the heck. .. . what if the idol was lowered? That would mess everything up, right? It just seems like it's not necessarily the brake, but the idol seems high. It wants to GOGOGO. Thoughts?

dont think you could do that here. entire truck is hooked up to computer in ways none here even realize. What do you think is going on when "CHECKING" shows up when you start the truck? Fiddle with anything, and youre liable to run in trouble
