Never heard it on mine here in the bay area. Just hit 5k miles.

people with brake squeal do you live in a high traffic area or very rarely find yourself braking on a normal drive?

I second this. Will be having the dealership take a look and fix it at the 5,000 mile check up.

I really hope they fix it for you. I have been to the dealership three times and complained to corporate, but they just keep saying there’s nothing they can do.

I drive in stop-and-go traffic most days, but it’s always there. I live in Houston, so it is humid. It seems like humidity might be a common factor for people with loud squealing.

Thanks. I'm lucky in that my local dealership is pretty great. Also, it's a known issue with the Tacoma's and Land Cruisers, and now the 4Runners. I'd try chatting with another dealer, if you have one in your area. Good luck!

I am in rural Montana, with not a lot of traffic. On mornings/days when it has rained, it is really bad. On other days, it's always there in reverse, but not as horrible.

It really sucks having to hear this brake squeal every morning. It’s not a great way to start your day. I leave early for work, and the sequel wakes my wife and kids up. I bet the entire street knows when I leave for work.

This is the biggest loss in the brake squeal epidemic. You don’t know what you got till it’s gone.
