How does this not apply to the LC’s?
Brakes Squeal

not only that but the TSB states "Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to reduce the possibility of this condition." so they are pretty much admitting that the repair/replacement may not fix the problem.
The point I was making was, the trucks have the same platform, Lexus has already offered a fix to their owners, and Toyota has done nothing for us, to recognize the problem, and offer a possible fix. It makes me feel like we are second class customers.
Over 5500 miles and I haven’t noticed any noise, other than the usual scrapping off of surface rust after driving in wet conditions (which has been sparse in Alabama this fall).
For those that like to occasionally track their Porsches, etc., they often have to weigh the benefits (effectiveness, long life) of track pads on the track vs the cons (including squeal) of the same on the street - ie, noisy brakes aren’t necessarily a problem.

I get what your saying, but you used the word fix. That is no fix. It is to "reduce the possibility", not a fix. I do not want them to waste my time. They can waste Lexus owners time.
Well, I'm not exactly tracking my Land Cruiser on a road circuit, am I. Just trying to back out of the driveway without it sounding like a POS.
Piss off. There are a lot of folks here having the same issue.

I had my brakes replaced at the dealership yesterday and so far, the squeal is completely gone. Also, maybe I am just imagining it, but my brakes feel much more responsive. I did not realize how bad it was until I have gotten in my LC several times and it is gone. I found myself cringing every time I put it in reverse in anticipation of the noise. Hopefully it will stay gone. The tech did say they had no idea if this would be a permanent fix but if it did not fix the issue, they would know there is also an issue with the replacement parts. Here is a list of what they replaced:

Thanks for the update, Jeffersbk. I'm glad that you were able to get a fix!
