Squealing Brakes 550 Overtrail

Now that the slow summer broil has stopped in Arizona and we have a bit of moisture in the air, my brakes are always squealing in reverse. Time to call the dealer and start pushing for brake fix and hood flutter fix.
 
My OT was built on November 2, and I took possession a few days ago. My brakes do not squeal. I'm wondering if the new cars have different parts and the issue is fixed? My brakes do not make any noise in reverse.....
 
My brake have made loud squealing noises since delivery of my GX 550 Overtrail. I have had my car about 3 months. I had similar issues with my 4Runner TRD Off-road with KDSS. The Toyota dealer eventually replaced my brake pads and the noises went away. My Lexus dealer has had my GX for over a week and are now replacing my entire brake system - pads, rotors, even my brake lines. I thought this was excessive, but I have not been told why they are doing a complete brake replacement. Lexus obviously knows more than they are telling me. Hopefully the parts will arrive soon and I will get my GX back and the noises will stop. My GX has approximately 2500 miles on it.
 
Hello my overtrail plus did 2204 miles and started to make a loud squeaky noise. It rained a few weeks ago and vehicle is parked indoors. The noise is persistent each time I start the vehicle but brakes are dry


Does anyone have any suggestions?

Would replacing the brake pads and rotors help?

I am going to Sewell Lexus

Your dealer should have the info on the brake replacement TSB or recall. Not sure which it is but either way Lexus is slowly getting updated pad/rotor sets out to dealers for replacement under warranty. Taking mine in soon for the same issue.
 
Has the OP left the building? Would be nice to get an update. In their last post, #40, they say the rear brakes were replaced but other posts said just the front. I'm assuming they just had a typo in that last post.

Apologies if the TSB has already been posted. I scanned back through this thread and couldn't find it. The link below is from another forum where the whole TSB for front brakes is posted. I wasn't able to copy and paste the pdf hence providing the link. Hope it stays active for a while.

I pick my OT up in Sydney next Friday so fingers crossed it does not have this issue otherwise I will be referencing this article with them! 😀👍

Mine are getting replaced this week. Thank you for posting this. I now have a better understanding of what is involved.
