I'm coming up on 1,000 miles, but am still getting a significant amount of brake squeal baking down my driveway in reverse each morning. Is this normal?
Brake Squeal in reverse?

I don’t know, but there are probably 20 eleven other threads on this topic already. Have you seen any of them?
I’m having the same problem w mine and it’s right under 1,000 miles. I took it in to be serviced today and was told they did see the problem, unfortunately there are no available parts to fix the problem at this time. They told me the tundra had a similar issue in the last few yrs and that the owners just had to wait until Toyota came out w a solution to the problem…which some waited a yr before they were able to get it fixed. I’m steaming and think this is unacceptable to say the least!
Forums need something like I see in bug tracking systems where a new thread can be marked as a duplicate and merged into an existing thread.

Oh no, did they tell you any specifics about the issue?

Oh no, I did a quick search and didn’t see them but now looking a little closer, I did find some of them doesn’t seem like anyone has any idea what the cause is.
I believe its the brake pads being misaligned
Not exactly, I believe someone said it’s a possible design flaw around the rotor? (Not positive)
I contacted the owner of the dealership and they are having me drop it off for a 2nd time tomorrow to see if they can come up with a temporary solution. I think they said they would try replacing the break pads (although last visit I was told mine were perfect and that they were not the cause of the noise) or add extra temporary padding (if that’s a thing)?
They also filed a claim with Toyota manufacture's department? (I think that’s correct.)
But honestly, at the time, I was so heated by the whole situation…so I may have the above information incorrect. Hopefully, I can get more info after tomorrow’s visit.
I’m pretty annoyed by it all and really feel like they should replace my vehicle with one that doesn’t have this issue, as not all of them do, and considering there isn’t a sure fix at this time.

I'm at 6500 miles and mine does it intermittently and only in the morning. Probably happens 1-2 times per week.
mine has done this since new - worst when level pulling out of garage in morning - very loud too - really annoying and super disappointing for a brand new vehicle
Mine has done this a few times when it was fairly new, but I’m at 3300 miles now and haven’t heard it for a at least 1,000 miles.
