Default Break Squeal

Hello,


I just purchased a LS 460 2007, 64k miles. The break when apply squeal, but not all the time when the break is applied. 5 times out of 10 times when you apply the break when driving the car for more than 20 minutes it start to squeal. It does not squeal when you first drive in the morning, but after driving more than 20 minutes, when you apply the break - it will squeal on and off during various application of the break. Does the LS460 have break indicator that would squeal all the time when you need new break? I am not sure what the sign that LS460 would need new break and rotor..... Please advise.

HI there. Not being a technical person, my first thought is take it to the dealership. Let them test the brakes and they'll tell you what if anything is going on. Or if you have a personal Lexus mechanic take it there.

does it squeal or squwak?

squwak is linked to the pedal movement (pumping of the brake fluid), compare to the disk squealing as you break.

If it squwaks, there a TSB for that
