High Pitched Squealing When Moving
Hi there! I was just wondering if anyone knew what would cause my Lexi to squeal, in a high pitch fashion, while she is running. The rapidness does not change with acceleration/ deceleration. The brake pads are also squeaking- but the new squeal is with no brakes being applied. I had a mechanic suggest a total transmission rebuild- idk if I trust that. Thank you!!

Hi. Welcome to CL. If the squeal is there from the moment you start the car while the car is Parked, I don't see how this can be a transmission rebuild.
What year and mileage on your RX?
Is it possible to take a video of it upload to youtube for example?

If the brake are making noise, that new squeal that you hear could be a stuck brake caliper. It could also be that it's low on rear diff fluid.
