i picked up my first lexus, a cpo 2015 gs350 f sport with 31k . I've been a Toyota fan my entire driving career- 26 years now. Always a Tacoma owner, I've forever wanted a rear wheel drive v6 Toyota sedan but by golly, they just don't make any. My only option was this car. So far I've loved it!

For 2000 miles I've noticed a metallic sounding crunchy/squeaky clink every time I apply the brake, let off the brake or go over rough patches in the road. It got to be where it's all I think about while traveling at slow speeds. I call it parking lot speed. So today I decide to use the almighty warranty and take her in to service for a look see. The shop foreman hops in and sure enough we can produce the sound. He has no idea what could be making this sound. So while I wait, I walk to the local stores and I spot a tech driving my car. Real friendly like, I flag him down to see what he thinks. He's eager to say there's a bulletin on the two piece rotor advising some are constructed with play and advise replacing them with a Lexus one piece rotor. Bam! I'm happy buuuutttt....

So I talk to my service writer who says normally they would replace this on warranty if all original parts were still onboard. However, my car had the brakes done (at this dealer) before it hit the used lot so it no longer qualifies for such benefit? The service manager said he would request an exception claim through Lexus but thinks it won't be approved. Not an enormous issue, but damn. The car sounds like it's broken with a new part and it appears like Lexus doesn't want to fix their own problem.

I guess i could try taking it to or calling another service dept if I get no dice. Anywho, if you hear similar type noises coming from your front end at slow speeds it could be you have crappily assembled oem two piece rotors.
