2011 Gx460 Brakes

[field marshall]

Purchased this 5 weeks ago,has 11k miles.

The dealers said it is normal for this model to have excessive brake pedal travel.

I was told The "mushy" feel cannot be corrected.

The pedal is very close to the floorboard, when depressed, & is scary in judging stopping distance with ease.

Dealer said other owners have stated this feedback...

I asked to have the brakes bled, the unresponsiveness still exists.

There may be a retrofit adjuster kit since others have complained.

Anyone know of an engineering contact at Lexus?

Welcome to LOC!

I sent you a PM back but in case you didn't get it here it is...

Trust me I came from driving a X5 and That has touchy brakes, the GX for the longest time I caught myself rolling since I wasn't used to pushing so hard on the brakes. They defiantly seem to be mushy as you say but I have gotten used to it.

Best of luck.
