This is precisely why I have been annoyed at all the whining for the TSB from the 250 owners. How many would be complaining as hard about the alleged brake dust "tragedy" if it didn't happen for the 350 owners?

As far as I see it, a significant proportion of the whining for a TSB for the 250 occurred for 2 reasons. 1) People just wanted free brake pads. 2) If the 350 people can have them, we want ours too.

I bet a bunch of people are privately glad they have brake dust on their wheels. woo hoo! free brake pads! You know who you are.

ok, rant done.

Although I have never complained on this forum about the brake dust issue on my 250 I can tell you that it is very real and every bit as bad as the 350. I think the reason everybody complained, or as you call whined, is that it made no sense to only have the TSB spply to the 350s when the problem was clearly with both models. As for me I won't be having the TSB performed, I will buy the pads myself and install them myself instead of letting the monkeys (I can say that because 2 of them have been fired from where I work) that work at Lexus do it.
