    Car accelerates when I press the Brake pedal slightly. Cruise control does not cut off when Brake applied lightly to slow for aproaching vehicle. The Car is now in the shop but they believe it is the brake actuator

    Actuator replaced. Noticed the beginning of the problem at 13,000 miles and told it was normal. Now at 40,000 miles starting to hear noise again when braking. In to dealership now.

    Clicking and knocking at a hard stop, actuator or solonoid was first dx, now they say it is a $2300 fix!
    I took it in before the warranty expired and got a clean report, now 10000 miles later this problem.
    I thought these were dependable cars. My LS 430 was at 106000 WHEN i TRADED IT IN AND NEVER HAD the first problem.
