This page covers 2 recalls and 69 owner complaints for the 2010 Lexus Hs.
For the 2010 Lexus HS 250h, the dominant pattern in owner complaints centers on the brake system. Owners frequently report complete or near-complete loss of hydraulic brake pressure, describing the pedal traveling to the floor with little or no resistance. The brake actuator and pump assembly comes up repeatedly as the component at the center of these reports, with some owners also noting warning lights illuminated across the dash, including ABS, traction control, and pre-collision system indicators, along with error codes pointing to the brake booster pump. The hydraulic brake and service brake categories together account for the majority of complaints filed for this model year. Suspension complaints, primarily involving rear control arm components, represent a smaller but notable second cluster. A handful of owners also describe sluggish or jerky throttle response, particularly at low speeds, though that pattern appears less frequently than the brake-related reports.
