Default Very low long beep/Brake Squeal

Hi guys,

I just purchased the new GS350 and noticed there are random very low sounding long beeps - I cannot locate the cause of this at all and it seems to be very random. Also, I just started noticing some brake squeals - any way to get rid of this? It seems to happen more often at lower speeds. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone in advance.

well buddy, when you hear the beeps when your pushing the break, its cause your pushing too hard. When you excessively push the break than something turns on to stop the car from moving and it will stay still even if your on a hill.

Take it back to Lexus and tell them about it. Car is under warranty and they will give you a loaner and make it right.

sounds as though you'll be making a trip to the dealer asap.

The low long beep they cannot reproduce and it's annoying when it comes up since its so random.

Haha i have the same issue just took the car to the dealer last week for my 5K service and mentioned it to my service adviser but he could not find the noise. For me it does it in low speeds i notice it when im in traffic or slowing down below 10mph so they said if i hear it again to take it back.

Are you saying the brake squeals at lower speeds? My wife has driven my care < 6 times and she says she they are squealing. I just had my 5k and they said everything look fine too....

If they are squealing, can you guys try to roll all the windows down before a stop to see where the sound is originating from?

make sure its not the hill assist...

If you press the brakes too hard it will engage the brakes until you step on the gas and it will make a beep...

Sometimes performance pads have noise also but I dont think ive heard any noisy pad issues on the 4GS fport or not...
