Lexus RCF Making A Weird Noise.
#18
They couldn't figure it out, so they did something with TAS? It's like the next tier of support at Lexus Help Desk
I've asked them to put on the CF mirror covers in the mean time

I got the car back. I have been driving it and it is still making the noise unfortunately. Keep me updated if you get any news.

Took it in for a 2nd time. They kept it for about 10 days. They escalated the case and the technicians at the dealership were working with one of Lexus’s engineers. They could not find much, other than cleaning out one of the rotors. I got the vehicle back and on the first day, it made the noise again. I’m not sure what to do at this point.

I only hear it in the morning when i reverse from garage.
And i can feel it from my brake pedal.

I think it has been explained above that it is the nature of the carbon ceramic brakes. Your options pretty much are either to accept it as the nature of the CCBs or sell the car or maybe swap out the brakes that have far less braking power. I would not recommend even the standard RCF BBK with steel rotors since they have a squealing noise as well if you are sensitive to braking noise.

No, they have not been able to resolve the issue. It only happens under certain conditions so I’ve come to accept that it’s the nature of the car. A lot happier with it now that I’ve done that. However, if your RCF makes the sound every time you reverse, the technician should be able to replicate it and possibly provide a fix. Take it in when you get the chance.

Your garage is probably cold and damp causing similar condition.
