Default Good News!!! New Tsib For Brakes!!!

Good news to ones that have problem with their brake dust or brake noise!!!

I was over at the Sewell for car wash, as I was complaining about the brake noise. They have already replaced my brake pads with low dust back in May of last year. So my service advisor went ahead and check to see if there is new TSIB for the brakes.

With much of luck, Lexus just released a new TSIB for the brakes today, in which covers all 2007-2008 GS'...

I guess I am getting my brake service again...FREE!!!

Not sure if this is related or not...

But I actually brought my GS 350 in again today to try to get my awful squeaking breaks fixed. I brought the car in months ago to fix the break dust issue (TSIB), and ever since then I've been dealing with the squeaky breaks.

Today they told me that new breaks are coming soon (2 week to a month) and then they will replace mine with those. He said its not worth trying to fix now, just hang in there a bit longer for new breaks.

Kinda sucks I gotta be driving around embarrassed for the next few weeks but I guess its good something is in the works.

I never had a problem with squealing before or after getting the pads replaced with the first TSIB and I had 35k miles on mine. Anybody with access to Alldata willing to check on a similar TSIB for the LS460? Coming from the dustless GS, the LS brake dust is killing me!

In my case, my front brakes squeak randomly from side-to-side (today, right-side might squeak...tomorrow left-side might squeak)...

Reberto, I will ask my service advisor to check on that for you when he gets back on Tuesday. I thought you are on vacation...you are working too hard on CL forums!?!



P.S. I won't get the TSIB# and/or parts# till Tuesday, my service advisor is taking his sons to their vary first football game!!!

I have never heard a noise from my brakes. although if I did it would **** me off. Thats cool that lexus will take care of us as usual. in less than 1 yr I have become a lexus convert. I am hooked. I will most likely be buying more in the future. The service is stellar

Robert, you have an LS now? - Do you still have your GS? - Where do you keep all these cars?

My brakes are squeaking also. So, it's time for another free brake job!
