problem #2

ES 300 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,000 miles
I purchased a new Lexus, ES-300 in 2000 (platinum series). Had to have the front brakes and rotors replaced after 24,000 miles. Again at 60,000. Just the front not the rear. Only car I have ever owned that has done that. The tires(Michelin) also were worn out at 24,000. I roated them every 6,000 miles. Something is wrong with the front brakes with that year Lexus?
