Just curious, did they resurface the rotors when they replaced
the (front) pads?
 
Regarding the warranty, Lexus will give you new rotors
if they are warped before 4yrs/48K miles. My in-law had her ES300's warped front rotors & pads replaced for free during the
basic warranty period.
 
The brakes noise & dashboard creaking noise happens
when the outside temperature is around a freezing temperature.
Was that the outside temperature where you live when the noises
occurred?
 
Please keep us updated if the noises are really gone.

Yes, they resurfaced the rotors when they replaced the pads. Hopefully it won't be an issue but they are more likely to warp now that the rotors have been shaved. I will keep your "in-laws" experience in mind if I have a problem down the road.
 
As far as the noises are concerned, I picked up the car when it was around 10 above and happily do not have any issues to report. Between the elimination of the brake noise (pads were loud even when not squeaking) and front dash noises being gone, this is like a different car. Thankfully better.

Just purchase a 2008 GS 350 and I am looking for mud guards and painted body side moulding. Can anyone point me in the direction of either product - dealers do not have these products.
 
Thank you

Brakes Noise by jwp350

I got my 2007 GS350 AWD in Jan 2007. I noticed the brake noise almost immediately but when the weather warmed up the noise went away completely but then came this winter again. I've had it back to the dealer but they say everything is normal. I guess I'll take it back again since one note indicated there is a new spec pad available.
 
I've noticed another noise issue from other vehicles when I pass (at highway speeds) them or they pass me....sounds the other vehicle tire noise comes directly into the cabin......BUT this only happens when the outside temp is above 70F. Does NOT happened below 70 . Dealer thinks I'm nuts but this is such a severe noise that I consider selling the car.

Thats kind of odd- the dealer does not have mud guards.
 
Do a Google search and you will see numerous retailers offering these products.

Navigation/Audio System by mlabrinos

I've owned a couple of Lexus' in the past and I'm considering buying the GS, but in driving loaner cars from the dealer and test-driving the new one, I've noticed that you can't keep the audio display to stay with displaying the XM song/artist info. You can hit the audio button, but it keeps reverting to the map display. It's kind of annoying, if you're monitoring the songs as they're coming across XM. Is there a way to keep the display in the audio mode. That has to be a setup feature. Does anybody know?

I think you can modify the setup setting to just show the screen you want and don't come back to Nav screen.

That's what I thought too, but I couldn't find it in setup. If you know where it is in setup, please let me know.

I will try and let you know. I could be wrong though.
