Also, do you use the parking brake? In my 2nd gen, I froze the parking brake during one of the cold snaps and the rear pads and rotors had to be replaced as I kept driving the car while waiting for the appointment at the dealer. It was almost time to replace it anyways at that time.:-)

Did the 40,000-mile service on my wife's 2015 RX350 last Thursday. All rotors remain in good shape and all brake pads have at least a quarter-inch of material remaining. I have all service records for this vehicle so I know the brake components are factory originals. It will be interesting to see when the OEM pads begin to chirp (indicating that they need to be replaced). I presume they indeed chirp rather than squeal as they approach their end-of-life. Anyone know for sure?

The noise making thing is not on all the pads and with so much isolation inside the cabin, you will most likely not hear it.
