RX400hGirl Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 First thing in the morning when I back out of the garage, the brakes on my 400h squeak 2-3 times. Then I never hear it again until the next "cold boot". Anyone else having that problem? Just realized, thanks to a little birdie, that I spelled brakes wrong in the subject line. :whistles:

patt Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 How odd, I've never heard mine squeak even in reverse on a cold start. I wonder if it is influenced by weather or something. The squekers so far are in Seattle and Ohio. Non-squeakers in Northern California - despite some recent rains, the humidity has been fairly low here.
gtfrench Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I have noticed the brakes squeeking when in reverse after damp or rainy conditions. It seems to clear up quickly. I am in Michigan and we have had a lot of moisture recently.
marmadmax Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 I have squeakers here in IL too when going in reverse first thing in the morning. Then, never again until the next morning. I have the same issue on my 1999 RX 300. I am not too worried.
ReXus Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Squeak free here. This is the first car in a long time that didn't squeak.

The car pulls to the right bad too, taking it in friday because we have the day off...see what they say about a new 50,000$ car with squealing brakes.
MingF Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Yea i have squeaks from the brakes when i back up in the morning too...on my 99RX300...and my 98 Camry. I brought them in to the dealer before and they said my brakes are working normal and they couldn't find what was wrong. I've recently replaced my rotors and brake pads on all four wheels..on my RX after 85000kms....and since then..i haven't heard any noise when i back up.
kel_zhang Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 My both 2004 IS 300 and 2005 RX 330 have same issue. However, I do not care a lot about it. Here is in North New Jersey.
lexusrxes Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 What I have found is: If my car is in my garage, no squeaks, if I leave it out, sometimes squeaks. Looked at the rotors, if it's rainy or damp, you may see rust on them+squeak So check your rotors for a little rust buildup. The rotors used seem to be susceptible to rust.
