Mrmango Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hey guys, bought an is250 08 with 59000km on it a few weeks ago, absolutely love it, the next service is at 65k, (the sticker says anyway) However, when I brake, not even hard, just a bit, i get out and i can smell like a burning smell, is this normal? It only does it when I brake, what do you guys think it could be or is it normal? Cheers for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for any help! i actually noticed a burning on my 2007 IS the other day, pretty sure it was the brake pads getting hot, as mine have started to squeel at very low speeds, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexus Nerd Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Brake squealing at low speeds is commonly reported in the IS - check out this old thread: http://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/10638-brake-squeal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dis-lex-sic Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Squealing I've heard but not had burning at normal speeds. I'd get that checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
