My car is a 1999, LS400 with 167,000 miles. I had the front rotors replaced three weeks ago. Since that time there has been a noise similar to a bearing going bad, but only happens when the breaks are applied. I guessed it was just the old pads working into the new rotors.

Two days ago the car died while comming to a stop. The car restarted but the Check VSC light was on. I drove for two hours and had no problem. When I stopped for fuel and restarted the car the light whent off.

Today while sitting in a drive through line I noticed the radio shutting off when I pressed the break pedal. It did this four to five times and then the car shut off. When I restarted the car the VSC light was back on.

I am going to pull the tires and inspect the front breaks to see if there is anything out of the ordinary, any ideas???

you might have an electrical problem.... if you can go to autozone they can run free diagnostics for you and tell you whats wrong with your car....
