  1. Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

    Mine squeals whenever it has sat for a few hours. Esp bad in the mornings and when damp or wet. I can certainly reproduce throughout the day. Every now and then it does not do it - I buy lottery tickets on that trip.
  2. Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

    Pumping brakes didn't help for me. TY for the suggestion though. I would recite poetry before starting the vehicle if it makes the squeal go away. 10,000 mile service is coming up. Let's see if Toyota cares at all to address but I doubt theywill. I've learned with Toyota to keep my expectations...
  3. I'm deciding now on a 4R please let me know what if any problems you have had?

    Brake Squeal since delivery - on 3rd set of brakes - TSB doesn't fix the issue - Toyota won't even try to fix it now - they will sell you one that squeals but won't fix it - in their defense they can't fix it b/c they don't know how. Just been wasting everyone's time w/ attempts. Otherwise no...
  4. Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

    Thank you for the information. In the end their bottom line is most important to them. Probably why, after seeing they had a problem with the 4 Runner brakes, they kept producing and selling them. A big F you to every customer; knowing every owner would have to waste hours of their time trying...
  5. Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

    Folks, I am now on my 3rd set of brakes...and they still squeal every time I back up. Anyone else having the same problem after the "fix" by Toyota? First the dealer I bought my 4 runner from tried a set of brakes off of a new 4 runner that had come in. That worked for a week. The TSB came out...
  6. 2025 4Runner SR5 brakes squeal like dying banshee when cold

    I don't disagree on the safety aspect - I was hesitant to break as hard to try to avoid the squeal. I suspect from a brake performance standpoint it is not a safety issue in that they work to stop the vehicle w/i the required standards therefore they are not required to recall -again, this is...
  7. 2025 4Runner SR5 brakes squeal like dying banshee when cold

    To fix mine, they had to cannibalize a new 4 Runner's brake parts - one just off the line - the parts the dealer ordered to fix mine did not work - so he tried w/ a new 4 Runner's parts....and worked so far. Here is my belief about what is happening - I may be wrong - happens often - but from...
  8. 2025 4Runner SR5 brakes squeal like dying banshee when cold

    Yes but if they have had a known defect since March (this thread and others indicate they have been submitting a TAS? TSB? to Toyota b/c the dealers can't fix since March 25). How do they know they are 2-3 months from a solution / Curious how they know 2-3 months? If it was waiting on parts and...
  9. 2025 4Runner SR5 brakes squeal like dying banshee when cold

    I took delivery of my 2025 4 Runner at the end of April. My first Toyota. The delivery driver (bought out of state) said the brake sound would go away - new pads he said. Two months later I take it to my local dealer b/c the sound is unchanged. Same as both videos posted. They said nothing they...
