Lexus IS300h wheel or brak squeaking at low speed

[Ken83]

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help with an issue that’s what really irritating me.

I’ve had my IS300h 2014 F-Sport for just over 3 weeks now. But I’ve noticed a squeak from the wheels at low speeds - probably up to 25 mph.

If I had to say I’d say it’s louder when turning left. I’ve booked the car in to have it looked at for this problem and another but dealership can’t get to it until mid October. As I got it from a Lexus dealership I have the year’s warranty.

I've seen a few posts on this in here but no resolution as the original poster doesn’t come back to say if it was ever sorted or how that was done. Understandable as we’re all busy I guess.

Anyhow, anyone else had this issue and found a resolution? Paid a lot for the car so a bit disappointed by this and a few other niggles but hopefully just teething problems.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

My guess is brake pads, they may need a dab of grease on the back of them to get rid of the squeak.

Thanks JayW, so you don't think it's anything serious? I take it you've never experienced on your IS300h?

Cheers,

Yes, I’ve had it, I hadn’t put enough pad lube on, after about 20k miles it had dried out and just needed redoing.

Thanks a lot for your reply - you've put my mind at rest a little. Hoping mine will be as straightforward and Lexus can sort or if not I'll take it to another mechanic.

Cheers,

Just to round this out, I went to Lexus and they told me that my brake discs were badly corroded and I would need to chnage brakes and pads with a quote of £570.

I immediately got in touch with the dealership I bought it from (less than 3 weeks ago at the time) and they agreed to foot the bill, they were very good about it.

So now I have new brakes and pads and no more squeak :-)

Really hoping it'll stay that way, because it'd drive me crazy if it returned.

Thanks for the help,

Ken
