My VIN falls outside of the range in TSB for the brake noise fix. So, it will be hard for me to convince my dealership to apply the TSB.

I had this exact problem on my 3GS, and all I did was switched to Akebono pads, drove for 5,000m without a problem. Then of course my car got flooded.

I don't know if I should get the Akebono pads again, perhaps there are better pads that are dustless and noise free? Could anyone recommend any other brands ?

Thanks

Well don't get stop tech pads they squeal now when at cold start and only stops after doing a few hard braking. I might stick with oem pads

I'd wait I'm in the same situation as you bringing it in tomorrow and they are suppose to get back to corporate to find a solution fix for our models that are out of the tab vin.

Same here. Had this a while back. They were able to re-produce it but told me it was part of the "high performance" brake system. It's normal to squeak. I was so irritated but decided to give up after having the car at the dealership a few days. Fortunately after a while it went away on its own. It really sucked and was kind of embarrassing too when you're pulling a 50K+ car out and it squeaked. Sorry my post is not very helpful. Keep us updated. It may come back to bite me again.

I guess I'd wait then, hopefully they'll come up with an updated solution.

I have akebono on my 4gs and they're great, hope you resolve your problem ?

I think my car was out of VIN range, but the dealer heard the squeaks and changed them anyways. I waited until 10K to have them check.

I had them replaced my brake pads and rotors at 12k miles on my F Sport. It was good for about 10k miles and now at 25k miles it's squealing all over the place.

I didn't know Akebono makes pads for the F Sport, that's what I'm waiting for. Where do you buy them from?

Dealer could not reproduce squeaks, so I will have to make a video of it happening in order to get them to fix it.

Is this only happening for the GS F-sport RWD version? I have the F-sport AWD at 24k miles and my pads do not squeak at all.
