2014 IS250 - about 47k miles - recently started to get a "creak" at nearly stop speed when braking. The best example is moving up in a drive thru line and coming to a slow stop - get a creaking sound as the brake pedal is pushed. Once stopped, can press pedal and hear it more. You do not hear the creak at a normal higher speed stop like at a stop sign unless I come to 100% stop and then press a little harder on pedal. Pads and rotors were replaced a few years back with all OEM parts. I pulled the caliper slide pins out a couple of days ago and re-lubed, but I am not convinced that fixed it. After some web searching, it seems this is common, but no one seems to know the solution.

Any thoughts?

 

Honestly, seems like your brakes are working fine. My caliper seized and they were making a grinding noise even when no brakes were applied. Everyone in the Walmart parking lot was looking. My point is, don't tamper with something if it's working. Small creaking may be a sign of wear but you said you checked the pads. Maybe switch it to a different brand of pads. You're fine though

 

Maintenance is required - cleaning

Mine got the same problem with the GS350 F Sport brake set, gone after cleaning.
