I had my 350 for about 5-6 months? Started two months ago when the brakes started to squeal coming down from my driveway and sometimes when I release the brake at a light. First I thought it was because of the cold but it started to get warmer and the problem is still here.

What should I do? I read online that I should contact my dealer but I don't want to drive that far out. I stay about 2 hours away from the nearest dealership.

Wondering if anyone else ran into the same problem and what was a fix to it.


edit: wanted to add the car is lightly driven and bone stock.

Welcome to ClubLexus!

This is a well-known "issue" with F-Sport brakes. I experience this every morning backing out of the garage. I believe some members have changed their pads to address this, but it's not terribly loud in my opinion and I am fortunate that I haven't heard it make sounds any other time.

Happens to me as well. Will get a little better after a few thousand miles. The front brake pads are aggressive for stock so that's where the noise is coming from. I'll take the improved performance with the noise

No noise on my end, but a high end carbon pad can help this

Have the same issue and it annoys me. Had the dealership look at it and, as others have mentioned, it's an unfortunate characteristic of the performance pads...just gotta deal with it, or replace the pads with something else
