Default Brake Squeak and Dust

So I emailed my sales person my concerns about the brake dust and the squeaking
and here is the reply.

I have talked with my service mgr. and he has talked with the people at Lexus and checked all TSB reports. At this time there is no campaign for replacing the brake pads. That being said, Lexus is coming out with an improved pad that is suppose to put out less dust and noise, this pad will be available in approximately two months.

Take it for what it's worth.

I second that... The brake dust is killing me. Even though Ionly wash the car once a week and have Lexus do it anyway, still.... I want it to last more than two days with my front rims matching the back!

I hate the dust, its just sad cause its a damn Lexus but for some reason i don't get the squeaking noise that you guys are talking about, if you brake firmly I don't think you will hear it
