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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
