This issue is well-documented across Lexus CT200h and Toyota Prius V models, which use the same components. Lexus quietly issued a Customer Support Program (CSP) for the affected part but never notified me. I contacted Lexus and was told they \u201cdidn\u2019t have to\u201d notify all owners. After escalating, they claimed a letter was sent, but I confirmed my address and never received anything.  Several months before the CSP expired, I noticed inconsistent brake response, a soft/spongy pedal, and warning lights: ABS, traction control, brake, and TPMS. I took the car to an independent mechanic who misdiagnosed it as a TPMS issue. Six months later, a loud chime began sounding repeatedly, unrelated to seatbelt use. I brought the car to Lexus of North Miami, where they diagnosed a failing ABS pump and accumulator \u2014 the exact components covered by the CSP.  This is a critical safety failure. Loss of braking pressure compromises stopping distance and puts my safety and others at risk. Lexus refused assistance because the CSP expired, even though the problem began earlier and I sought help. Corporate and their Resolution Team were dismissive and unprofessional. The issue is reproducible and confirmed by a certified Lexus dealer.  Thousands of drivers online report the same pattern: trouble code C1391, buzzing brake actuator, unexplained chimes, hissing noises after shutdown, and external fluid leaks. Some dealers reportedly told customers to disable the chime rather than investigate. Toyota Prius owners with the same part received repairs under warranty or recall \u2014 Lexus drivers did not.  I urge NHTSA to investigate this defect before it leads to serious injury or death. This is not normal wear. It\u2019s a known mechanical failure affecting a critical safety system. What makes this even more dangerous is that most owners won\u2019t do the deep digging I did to connect it.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"LEXUS","productModel":"CT","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
