Reasoning..... called my dealer today to schedule the 5K maintenance on our '07 GS350 AWD and mention I think there is way too much brake dust. I asked if there is a TSB or if they've had many complaints about excessive brake dust. My SA quickly said "nope, no such TSB exists". I said are your sure? I thought I read about one regarding the GS? (didn't have it in front of me at the time) They quickly replied "yep 100% certain - only one out there is for the IS". After pulling it again, I'm sitting here

WTF?

So, I just printed it out and will take w/ me next week when I go in for the 5K oil change. Should be interesting to see the reaction when I 'inquire'

again (paper in hand of course).

Thanks CL members for the back up and I can't wait to start using the brakes again

Yeah, I had the same issue. I was at the dealer, woke up early to get there, and then they throw that at me that there is no TSIB for my car. I left, and then tried to locate a copy of the TSIB, and couldn't, so I just went out and spent the $45 for new pads, and put them in myself. So, bottom line, I am out $45 that I shouldn't have spent, but not sure at this point how to get anything out of the dealer that lied to me.
