Does anybody have a break squeal when its cold out while depressing the brakes in reverse?
Brought my car to dealer 1 on the 31 of Jan. and they started a TAS CASE,
almost 4 weeks later, I brought my car to dealer 2 on Feb. 25 and they started a TAS CASE.
Both dealers are looking to Lexus Techs for an answer.
Anybody experience this with a solution or remedy?

Have noticed this as well, esp. if the car has not been used for a couple of days ... Goes away pretty quickly though

This morning it was very cold in San Francisco and heard it and thought do I need to change the breaks
already...(-:
But it went away fast

Might be surface rust on the rotors that wears away with a little braking.

certain brake pads when cold will squeal a bit. Check again when they got a bit of heat in them

I had this issue with my '11 ES350. They changed some kind of clip on the rear brakes and it resolved the problem.

Had this "issue" on my 2005 Prius and 2010 HS250h when left in the drive way during damp conditions. It happens occasionally on my ES300h but it is more of a rubbing sound that goes away after around 50 yds. I put it down to the lack of use of the real brakes, so the rotars get a little rusty.

is/was the E-brake used prior to putting car in reverse?

ie., sticking e-brake? -normally ebrakes are drums, and they can stick...

Yep, I have the squealing in reverse - on my ES300h. Keep my car in the garage and every time I reverse the car out of the garage I hear the screeching noise. It's on my list to have it checked out when I bring it in for the 6 month checkup.

I always back into my garage so I have not noticed it, however, at work I back out of my spot, we have had lots of rain here in the last few weeks and I have not noticed any squeal in reverse.
