Yeah, I really wish they replaced the rotors as well since I put 7000 miles on them with the squeal. I thought the TSB didn’t fix it, but I can now say that the squeal seems to only be a few seconds first thing in the morning after rain. I am just glad it doesn’t squeal all the time like it was...

Well, not even a week later and my super loud squeal is back. I guess I jinxed it by still watching this thread.

That’s terrible! Mine is still not making any noise. I wonder if they gave you the Tundra brakes that were under their own recall last year. Or maybe your disc/rotor got too worn out from the original.

About 1.5 hours, and luckily they had everything in stock.

Brought mine in today because of this TSB, and they actually had the parts on hand. After half a year of dreading backing out of the garage in the morning, I can finally say the squeal is gone (hopefully for good). Feels amazing.

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

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.

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.

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.

It’s really awful in the morning, but it’s always there when reversing no matter how much I drive.

I can confirm that the handling at fast highway speeds is much better with the air dam installed. I took mine off because it was missing screws, but I had the dealership reinstall it with all the screws since it was that noticeable for me. It feels really smooth and planted now, and I do get...

I am fairly certain it is just the front brakes after dealing with this for 4000 miles in 3 months. It’s the worst in reverse and always present. However, braking going forward it goes away after driving a bit.

Mine unfortunately sounds like this almost all the time. Has anyone received an opinion from a mechanic that is not employed at Toyota? The noise is driving me so crazy I might just have to get it fixed elsewhere.

Does anyone else have brake squeal like this?

It’s a waste of time right now. Unless you have a dealer that will go above and beyond. Mine acknowledged the noise, but they said the brakes technically meet the Toyota specifications. Which means they won’t do anything until they hear from corporate. My rotor is definitely showing large wear...

I tried contacting them again, and basically got told they are not doing anything. Even after seeing the new videos with the noise getting worse. My best bet is to try to show the dealership in person (again) at the 5000 mile service. I got the impression that they received many complaints...

I had the brake noise since the first day, but didn’t notice it during the test drive as I didn’t reverse on the dealer lot. I do live in a humid environment, but this noise is way worse than a typical squeaky brake you might hear. I am not sure what other words to use besides it is a high...

I might open another warranty claim and try that. I have to brake quick to avoid the noise, and that is not safe. I mentioned that not even an old used car should sound like this, and especially not a new car. Even if I believe them that there’s no current safety issue, I couldn’t get them to...

I thought I should post a video of what my brakes sound like so anyone watching this thread can hear it themselves. The warranty claims go nowhere as they state there’s no performance or safety issues. I can’t believe they say that when they sound like this. This can’t be safe long term…

I think you may be on to something. I took mine off because it was loose, but it handled better with less noise when the air dam was installed. Also, I do get at least 1 mpg less with it off.
