2013 LS 460 F Sport Brakes
I recently purchased a 2013 LS460 F Sport and having annoying squeaking front brake problems. I contacted my local dealership and Lexus Corp. and was told "there is no fix". It's hard to believe that a company this size does not have a fix for this problem? Anyone else going through this???

I have a 2013 F Sport with a little over 3k miles. The brakes had a pretty loud squeal at first but are silent now. I get a little squeal after a wash but that is to be expected.
Just wanted to add that I have to do a lot of inching along to get into the compound where I work so at first, I was very disappointed and almost embarrassed while presenting identification to the guard. Give it time it will go away.

2chance, thank you for your response. I'm at 6,500 miles now and the squeal is getting worse. It's constant with or without the car wash. You would think they can resolve the brake problem on a car this expensive. This is my 7th Lexus and clearly the most disappointing. We also have the regular 2013 LS460 and it does not have this problem. It's embarrassing!!!

I didn't have any squeaking with the 12 Range Rover Sport Supercharged vehicle I just traded it. It had Brembo brakes that I put 14 K on?
I can't stand driving a car with squeaky brakes. It bother's me, even with radio loud and window's up.
It's embarassing.
I will have some Carbotech pads waiting around to be installed when my F-Sport comes in.

Has anyone tried bedding the brakes. Not sure if that would help but it's an option to try. Coming from an ISF owner, my original brakes were very squeaky. However, when I did the front break service, I installed OEM Brembo rotors together with StopTech Street Performance and after that bedded them in accordance with the typical bedding procedures. After that, absolutely no squeal, stopping power is on par with the OEM pads, and about half as much dust.

Maybe you can get Lexus customer service to pay for some Carbotech pads?
Just checked with Lexus Parts, Front OEM brake pad P/N 044650W151
Carbotech makes a pad: Fits yr: 2011 and up
Front P/N CT1440, Compound 1521, $199.00
Rear P/N CT1283, Compound 1521, $159.00
I would replace them all at the same time.
Should solve your squealing issue.

brambo brakes
Check the other Brambo brake forum. I have a 2011 LS 460 sport and had the same issues.
Lexus has replaced pads, shims and rotors. It better but not fully corrected. Good luck.

New Brake Pad coming from Lexus
Just got informed by my local dealer that Lexus had a diagnostic conference where a new brake pad for the Brembo brakes will be released in late December (projected); I have a 2010 LS460 Sport - the front pads have been relatively noisy once again lately (after a couple prior fixes)

i bypassed the f because 90% of the time i'm cruisin'. this vehicle is a boulevardier. if u put lipstick on a hawg, it's still a hawg, k.. so u buy the f and have some squeal. lex will fix it i'm sure but that fix will result in longer stopping distances which negates the f effect.
ppl need to get their heads straight. the ls is not a twin-turbo sports vehicle. the demographics for the car indicate a more sedate crowd. most are old (like me) and can't even appreciate the level of tech in the car. the f trim is there to primarily appease the mags - car & driver, road & track because their write-ups effect sales. i've had an '07, '12 and now a special order '13. weird, as it seems this '13 is head and shoulders over the other 2. the ride control makes only a slight diff even in "sport +." the '19s are a bit disappointing but will do and provide some predictability when oversteer is induced. mind u, even with ecs, u can get this pup in the woods if u're not careful - not a complaint, just an observation. cars r meant to be driven. this ain't one of them but in a pinch, it'll do. the ml is still da **** but i miss the cd burn capability of the '07 and the '13 needs playlist support.
the is-f is the answer here but if u have a pair and most lex drivers don't, your luck will eventually run out and u'll meet lots of cops. it was hard not hittin' triple figs every day with that beast.
i guess these blogs allow folks to whine - must be lonely and could use a life.
. . . that's just my 2 cents.
