Lexus LS Brake Pedal Feedback

I'm getting strange feedback from the brake pedal in my 2012 Lexus LS hybrid (99112 km). I suspect it's related to undervoltage. Has anyone experienced similar issues? I've checked brake calipers, brake shoes, brake fluid, brake pads and brake rotors, but they seem ok.

Whoa, that's weird! I had a similar issue with my old Saab 9-3, and it turned out to be a wonky ABS sensor messing with the whole braking system. Does the feedback feel like a vibration or more like a dead spot?

It's more of a dead spot. Does that align with your experience? What was the ultimate fix?

Yep, mine was a dead spot too sometimes! Honestly, I tried a bunch of stuff, but in the end, the shop traced it to the ABS module. I'd suggest getting it checked professionally to be sure.

Thanks, that's helpful. I took it to a workshop and indeed, low voltage was messing with the brake actuator. Cost me 240€ to sort. Appreciate the help!
