Default 08 GS350 brake squeaking

Does anyone here have a problem with the brakes squeaking. My GS is only a week old and the brakes are squeaking already. Is the brake pads still breaking in or is it a common problem with the GS. I read on another forum that the GS has problems with the brake pad material that gives out too much brake dust and can cause squeaking. Have anyone had the pad replace under warranty for squeaking?

There is a TSB for that...not for that exactly but for dusty brakes pads - ask dealer to change them for not dusy ones - I just did it. No changes in braking performance at all - like they warn you...

The brake system on my GS kind of squeak at the beginning but you can take it back to the dealer and they will fix it for you, that is what I did with no extra charge because it is under the warranty.....hope things works out
