Unhappy 2007 Lexus RX350 Brake warning

Lately, my 2007 Lexus RX350 occasionally pop-up the following three(3) warning during driving:
1) ABS; 2) Brake; 3) VSC.
I can still drive with the warning. The problem does not happen every time.
What could be the problem?

Welcome to Club Lexus. This is most likely a defective Brake Switch. Do a "search this forum" using the key word "Brake Switch". I think there is even a DIY to replace this part.

Happened to me.

Your car still under warranty? It is a TSB. Go take it in.

Some people have replaced their brake switch and the part is about $27. A bit tough to get in there abd so it though.

Hope you car is still under warranty.

Thank you for your answers. My car is out of warranty. I have it for almost 5 years. I am wondering whether it will cause any safety problem if I don't fix it, since it happens only once a couple of weeks.

Well, if your ABS and VSC systems don't work, it surely affects the safety a bit.

take it to a reliable mechanic and have the switch replaced.

it's better to be safe than sorry....

Default ABS and Brake lights on?

Hello there.
I have 2008 RX350 and having problem with it. Original ABS pump on my car somehow went bad. Because of that i had 3 lights(ABS, BRAKE and ENGINE) poped up and my speedometr didn't show anything. Lexus Dealership asked 2281+tax for new part so I bought one from used part seller for much less. The part came of from 2008 RX330 and they assured me it will work with my car. I had it installed to my car. They also Reset the computer (ecm). After isntallation Check engine light gone and Speedometr works fine. However, Brake and ABS lights are still on. I checked thread from other users but they all have VSC light on too. I don't have that. Please help
Thank You
