Update... Took my 4R to the dealership as instructed by Case Manager. Technicians did two test drives and could not replicate the noise. Upon thinking about the ongoing process of claiming a buyback, and the possibility of the noise never going away, I traded in my 4R for a RAV4. It's a really...

Well, mine is still screeching. I got a call from Toyota. They advised me to take the car to the dealership to look at the issue. However, the last time I was there, they couldn’t reinstate the noise and nothing was done. Although the noise is still happening, there are no guarantees that there...

5990 miles, bought it on May 30th, 2025

Wow! Sorry to hear that! Will keep you posted! At this point, after 30 years of owning Toyotas, I am getting closer to switch to another brand. I was very excited for my first 4Runner, but I guess it was not in my path😡

Well... the screeching noise came back! So I contacted Toyota again! I should have started the buy back option the last time, but I decided to give the 4Runner a try, but here it is again! This would be the 4th time! I already contacted Toyota again and attached a video of the noise. Let's see...

I trust people at the dealership, and I understand what is happening. However, this does not mean that I feel safe driving a vehicle with this situation. That noise is metal against metal, and nobody knows what could happen. I have an open case with Toyota. The case manager has been very...

Update: mechanics could not replicate the noise, so two days after, nothing was done. I sent Toyota two videos to include them on my case. I still have to hear from the case manager next week. I can’t believe that I wasted this third time and nothing could be done. Very disappointed!!

update on 1/12/26- took my vehicle to dealership. A Techcase was opened since they applied the TSB and the problems continues. Will drop the vehicle next Wednesday to have it inspected by Toyota engineers on Thursday. The soap opera continues... LOL

I agree with you! It was the first time the screeching noise returned. I remembered it was a very humid day, however, we have a 2021 4Runner in the house at it doesn’t screech at all. I won’t justify Toyota by agreeing to “humidity could make the brakes screech” argument because I have another...

I think my 4Runner is possessed! The noise is gone for the last two days! Maybe because it knows I made an appointment to have it checked?🤣🤣🤣

Well, the screeching sound has returned!!! Made an appointment for next Monday! Will keep you guys posted. I reviewed a video to show the technicians

Mine is a 2WD, and after the second time, the noise hasn’t come back.

9/1/25 was my second visit for this reason

Hope it all works out well! Mine is screeching free now!!😂. It has rained quite a lot these days, but all has been as it should have always been! Wishing you good luck!! Please keep us informed

The humid weather might contribute to some screeching, but not that loud as many of us have had. In my case, it has been raining for many days and it is gone! It seems like what they did worked. Fingers crossed!😂🙏🏻

Please see image from Carfax to see the dates

After two times taking it to the dealership, the screeching sound is gone! It has rained a lot in Miami, but nothing!!🙏🏻🙏🏻. BTW, I posted the two receipts from the dealership with the work done

I recorded a video to show them the noise! You can either do it while you drive in reverse or someone else rescued it. It proved to be very effective!!

I think that is what they did the first time before the tsb came out

This is what they did yesterday
