Captainbly100 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I just wanted to know if you've had any unusual brake noise just before coming to a complete stop and if so what has your dealer done about it. I'm bringing it in again tomorrow. If I can't get rid of this noise I will own this car for a very short period of time. Anyone else?

Steve Silver Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yes, I have a 2008 GS460. Have not had any brake noise problems but a host of others making ownership beyond very frustrating. Bad interior pieces Bad leather Pass seat Bad armrest cover Bad door sill inside Dash rattles Mirror motor failures- both Tire pressure warning not working Auto air recirc note working properly Window clips causing rattles in top and it goes on and only 8600mi. Have a 2005 SC430 and no real problems only a couple of minor ones. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found with my gs-460 quite a brake vibration when you apply lightly on the brakes , specialy on cold and then goes away when fully pressed . anyone else ?

I thought those kind of problems were isolated to the '06 models. if the economy didn't suck so badly, i'd seriously consider unloading mine and switching to a 3 series coupe.

I'm bringing it in again tomorrow. If I can't get rid of this noise I will own this car for a very short period of time. Anyone else? I have a stange noise they are looking into now... at low speeds, when just touching the brakes, or as I come to a stop, it sounds as if there's a Pigeon under the hood - "cooing".... I also get a slight snap from the front left brake, when pushing the peddle - even if I'm already depressing the peddle, if I press down further, I get that "snap." Very odd - I had an '06 GS as well and it never made that noise... Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexnTex Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I have a 06 GS 430 and I have these problems with mines as well, minor, but a pain! Bad door sill inside... Is there any way Lexus can accept responsability and recall to fix these problems???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designo Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Mine is a 2009 model... and when I first took delivery of the car... there were strange noises under hard braking that seemed to go away after a couple of days. All has been fine since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus GS430 Guzzler Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have a 06 GS 430 and I have these problems with mines as well, minor, but a pain!Bad door sill inside... Is there any way Lexus can accept responsability and recall to fix these problems???? Used to have the problem, not any more. Changed brake pads to quiet ceramics. Bi-metals will squeak during cold seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
