Problem overview

Some Lexus GX470 owners report experiencing premature brake pad wear, particularly in models from 2010 to 2019, leading to frequent replacements. Common signs of this issue include squealing noises, increased brake pedal travel, and abnormal rotor wear. Additionally, some owners have noted that their driving habits, such as aggressive braking, may contribute to this premature wear. Furthermore, some Lexus GX470 owners report encountering faulty ABS diagnoses, even when the ABS light is not illuminated. Symptoms related to this problem can include a brake pedal that intermittently feels too far to the floor or pulsates. To mitigate these issues, it is recommended that owners regularly monitor their brake pad condition, consider using high-quality replacement parts, and promptly address any ABS concerns to ensure safe driving and optimal brake performance.
