Squeaky F-Sport front brakes
Is anyone experiencing squeaky front brakes on their F-Sport GS? My passenger front side brake pads have been squeaking for the past two months when braking around 10-15 MPH. I am planning on spraying WD-40 to see if it'll help. Anyone with a similar problem?

You guys are right. I should drop by the dealer and have them look at it. I thought that the squeak would go away after a couple of weeks but I guess not. I've been busy but I'll take it in this weekend. Thanks!

WD40, who the hell told u to use that, sorry to say, whoever told u to use it, don't like u, and wants u to crash.take it back to the dealer and get it handled, I am gonna get some Akebono pads to test in the rear specially, to test it out for the brake dust problem it has, I will post pics before and after driving it for a week.

I took mine to dealer last week, they said the non f sport version has a fix (they;re replacing with new pads), but nothing for the f sport yet. All they could do for now is take the wheels off and clean the brake system. They said Lexus is actively working on a fix.

WD40? how about some cooking oil instead?

The brake dust appears normal. The squeaks do not happen all the time, maybe 20% of the time at around more like 5 MPH. Braking is still responsive like when initially purchased. It has 6K miles right now.

Another question is, can we isolate this to RWD F-Sport only...being that it has the larger brakes? I have the AWD F-Sport and no squeaks. I have 3,800 miles and the car is garage kept. I also believe that leaving your car outside will cause squeaks, just because of the excessive rust that will occur on the rotors by sitting outside 24/7.

I think they can do better than that .. had the sound for my f sport even after the brakes cleaning, eventually the sound was gone after I dealer replaced the pads n i think the disc rotors : )
