clay1 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Car has 25K, with the original factory brakes. how many miles have you all gotten on the brakes. They started to squeek yesterday - I know there is a TSB for both dust and squeeking - but at 25K I would think I am beyond getting that for free. Also do you think they are squeeking because it is so darn cold in the northeast yesterday - or is it wear? If I do need to replace - what should I replace them with?

The brake TSIB is valid throughtout the 4 year/50,000 mile warranty period. Just take it in and complain about the brake dust and squeeking. If they don't offer to replace the pads under warranty, tell them you saw a message on the internet about a brake technical service bulleting from Lexus and ask them if they can look. If they still say they won't do it, ask them to call Lexus. And if that doesn't work, YOU call Lexus and complain about the brake dust and squeeking!

I was surprised that you have until 49,999 miles. Mostly seen people on the boards talk about replacing around 15K to get the wear out of them, so I thought that was the unofficial cutoff. thanks again.

popz3210 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Does that TSIB apply to 08 IS350 too? Or just the 07 stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeb427 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I had my TSB pads changed and 21K miles with no problem. The best thing I did to my car.No more cleaning front wheels after 30 or so miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightshade Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 The TSIB hasn't been updated for 08 vehicles yet- though some dealers will do it anyway as a courtesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey question, what dealership did you have it done at. I live in palm desert ca and I tried to have it done and they said my breaks were to far worn to replace them. I just turned 26k, and this was about 3-4 months ago that they denied... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
