Brakes Squeal

[Don]

It’s blame the driver time, or it was. Sorry, but it’s the car. Just fix it.

It's 2025. The asshats pushed the expense into the next year. Bonuses are what matter, and Toyota corporate hasn't been able to provide the car volume to make North America Toyota look good. The expense they can manage is warranty claims..

As I've posted previously, no one in management at Toyota would drive a car with the noises in the video I posted above. No in dealership management would tolerate a vehicle in that condition. But its OK for us. And the dealer charges me to bring it in.

My dealer acknowledged the problem and attempted to fix the brake squeal by lubricating the pads. Unfortunately the squeal returned within a week.

Fresh off the press - A SERVICE BULLETIN has either just come out or is about to come out

have a reference number?

Hopefully there is a service bulletin coming out. But it would still be good to call Toyota and open a case.

Went over to the GX550 Forum and it seems they have the same issue with brake squeal.

Opened a case with Toyota and the NHTSA last month. I also would encourage all 2024 LC owners to do so.

I am curious as to why the NHTSA would be interested in ‘brake squeal’.

Could be a safety problem, who knows. The more pressure on Toyota to fix the problem the better.
