I'm bringing my car in tomorrow am to have a noise checked out. When 1st starting I'm getting a rubbing, squeek from the back passenger wheel area. It happens either as soon as I start cutting the wheel as I back out, as I straighten wheel as I pull forward or someimes it waits until I crawl over the speed bumb about 50 feet in front of me. After that I never here it again until I park and restart. Anyone else hearing this?

I read someplace on the internet that the squeadky sounds you are hearing may be from improperly machined brake rotors. Do a search on lexus es 350 moaning sounds. It's a review but it does go over some of the problems.

Thanx,did the search but didnt find it, thou I remember reading about it. Also remember he said have them replace them, instead of grinding them. After all its a new Lexus & thats the right way to do it. I'll let you all know whats up tomorrow.

Well I went to the dealer this morning, which is a 45 minute drive. After parking and letting the car cool off, it of course didn't make a sound. We all knew it was going to happen and had a good laugh, then decided instead of having me sit around another hour, that I would drop it off Weds. when they would have a loaner available for 2 days( we're going away for a long weekend anyway) .
And for the guy that had the brake rotor problem, did the noise go away with-in the 1st minute or so, like mine? Or was your problem different? Thx...
