Okay, here's an odd one for the experts out there.
I have a '96 LS400 w/62k miles on it. We just had it in to the Lexus garage for its 60K mile checkup and mentioned to them that the front breaks would sometimes squeal loudly when applying them wihile backing out of the garage in the morning.
It only does it while backing It only does it when the car is first operated after sitting overnight in the garage. For that matter it can sit all day and we can back it out in the 95-degree heat of the day and the dang front brakes will squeal very loudly the first couple of times they're applied... only while backing.
Once you drive the car around the block you can back up, apply the brakes and nothing is heard. Not a sound.
The brakes "work" fine and the 60k mile checkup at the Lex dealer turned up nothing. They too said the brakes were fine.
What's going on here?
