The problem seems very common. Weird for a car with that reputation. Mine failed at 70K.
1999 GS 300 - 1st and only ownerMy GS has been a great car. Style still looks good on the road vs. 2004 models. 100,000 miles with normal repair. (belts - brakes) Handles well in snow for rear wheel drive. Only failure at 102,000 has been the brake booster pump which to my surprise was a +$2200 repair. I was able to find some used units; however, after having two ind. repair shops decline to install a used pump and planning on having another 3-4 years with the car. The decsion was easy to make.

It seems this is common and expensive problem. Weird for a car of this quality. I disconnected the ABS almost two years ago, plus I had a mechanic disconnect a warning noise cable. The car brakes fine, and so far I saved $3000 that people say it costs to repair. The warning lights stay on, but I do not care. I wonder if I will fix it one day. Several other parts collapsed after the 70K miles, water pump, alternator . . .
