  1. Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

    Consistency Award goes to Toyota. I've been told shims were in backwards.... I was told the first TSP was not done correctly but this one was. I was told this adjustment will work. I'm not a car person, I just know I have not ever owned a vehicle w/ squeaky brakes like this and no one able to fix.
  2. Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

    Sorry to hear. Welcome to the Squeaky Brakes club. 2 attempts at the TSB at this point for me after first trying new set of brakes etc.....squeaks less with the 2nd TSB "fix" but still does it esp on a wet day. I give credit to the dealer who sold me the car for trying a few times - likely w/o...
  3. Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

    Put signs in back window which say "2025 4 Runner = Squeaky Brakes. Toyota do better" If I wanted a car that didn't work as advertised I'd get a Tesla.
  4. 4Runner owners towing 2,500–3,000 lb travel trailers — real-world experiences?

    I tow a 3000lb or so 13 foot Scamp travel trailer; barely notice it is there.
  5. Brakes squeal horribly backing out of driveway each day

    After another "fix" of the brakes at the 10,000 mile service - sounded like a kid learning the clarinet within two hours. 3 "fixes" and 7 months of squeeking and counting.
  6. 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.
  7. 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...
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. 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...
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
