Has anyone experience when coming to a full stop (stop light/red light) where the brakes are making a creaking noise? I had a ES350 that didn't do this so I'm not sure if this is something exclusive with the GS 350 F-sports. The car only has 8300 miles on it.

Creaking or squeaking/squealing? If squeaking or squealing, it happens on an F Sport due to the 'high friction' brake pads. It has been discussed many times. Just replace with quality ceramic brake pads and that should resolve it along with all the brake dust build up on the wheels which happen fast.

No its not squeaking/squealing more of a creaking.

Does it do it at 75 mph? or right before it stops (10mph an below)?

teezee1000

Below 10 mph before stop. I took it to the dealer Thursday and the worked on the rotors and gave me an alignment the creaking is a little better now but it's still there.

MustangSal

Interesting.

It's normal. It happened with my car. Throw some grease on the outside of the pads not the calipers the flat part.

I'm having the same issue and I know for a fact the noise wasn't there up until about 45k. Super annoying and a bit embarrassing for a nice car, hence doesn't seem logical for it to be normal..

Anyone else have this issue and is there definite "fix"?

I'm having a creaking issue after resurfacing my OEM 2 piece rotors and going back to stock OEM pads from Centric pads. The creaking only happens if I slightly let off the brake pedal and inch forward. Other than that, the noise is not present.

Are you talking about the part that makes contact with the pistons? The new pads came with some grease but I didn't use that much on the shims.

I have the same problem too. At first, i thought it was my ball joint of something about the suspensions.

I still have the issue, but I notice it only happens after cold start ups. If I'm driving around for awhile it stops.

this is normal if you using oem rotor and oem pads. it will stop when u heat up the pads/rotor around 2 -3 blocks. only happen when the pads/rotor is cold.

The 2015 pads on most of these cars will scream like a banshee when cold. Been there, done that. If you have an RWD car you might be able to get them to replace the pads / rotors under a TSB. If yours is AWD, you're SOL like the rest of us...

Good news is if you replace the pads with the current OEM version they don't squeal anymore. I did my own fronts and got new pads, rotors, shim kit, and used a decent amount of brake grease on the shims....

The only DOWN side of the new Lexus pads is they don't bite as hard as fast, but they will still stop the car great.
