Live in Florida and our Overtrail+ with 1200 miles is parked in a climate-controlled garage. Squealing brakes (mostly in reverse) caused by condensation from humidity. Have many other cars without problem so interested to hear about Lexus fix.
Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail
- Thread starter 2024 GX Driver
- Start date
Hi, new to the forum and to be quite honest, first time ever I join a forum, gx 559 premium plus 100 miles brake noise since new, picked up three weeks ago, at the dealer now waiting for Lexus to get back to them, since is the first one they have
I have just over 1600 miles on my OT and I have noted my breaks sequel when reversing when it is damp, on humid mornings or after washing. After it drys out / heats up I do not hear any more noise.
Same. Only in reverse and not very often.
Below the answer from Lexus technician at our dealer
I asked him if this is an isolated issue and below his response

I don't have the numbers on how many GXs are involved, but I am aware that it also affects the new body style Tundra as well. I believe that is why new service parts are already available.

It would be helpfull to have you list those "New Part #'s" here.
Great! Please keep us posted. I was in a similar boat but they returned the vehicle and I was told that the parts are not available and will be notified when they become available.
As soon I have the parts list I will posted here,

Is it these?
I just heard a newer Land Cruiser brake squeal, from inside our showroom, as one of our employees was pulling out of a parking space. The sound is hideous! So it would appear that between the GX, the LC, and the Tundra, that's a whole lot of brakes that need to get replaced nationwide, so some folks are probably going to be waiting a while.
Can't say I'm disappointed we are still waiting for one to become available to us. I'd really rather have one with all these bugs worked out. I know the old saying about not buying a first year model, but my last 2 non-Toyota trucks were both 1st production run builds of a brand new design, powertrain, & electronics, and BOTH were/have been flawless, but both were pre-covid vehicles. I really think these issues are all a result of the covid shutdowns, because it seems that across the board, both foreign & domestic manufacturers have been having a lot more quality issues ever since.

You would know it if you had it. Extremely loud squeaking when backing up. It would be audible from 50 yards.
Thats wild. I’ve heard some minor brake squeal backing up but I also live near the beach in FL so I do expect some
Upload to Youtube and then share a link to the video?
Update from the dealer below:
——————————————————
Good morning,
I was told this morning by the parts manager that we have received the pads but are still waiting for rotors and shims. It looks like those are at least 2 days out
They asked if I want the truck back, I politely declined, I rather they push. For parts to get there than me waiting.

This is encouraging, good luck! Are you experiencing any vibration issues besides the squealing?
No vibrations issues, truck runs fine, no internal or external noises
