Brakes Squeal

[Susan Buchman]

Yup, mine did. I brought it into Toyota service and they didn’t find any dust or debris. They said it’s likely because there is some condensation from being parked outdoors overnight. I’m here in Seattle and it was warm with some humidity and cooler at night. I’m inclined to believe them since it doesn’t seem to happen when I park in my garage.

Hmmm . . . I only park in the garage and it happens daily and has increased over time.

3300 miles on my LC. The brake squeal has been present the whole time. It is loud enough that everyone stares at me when I am reversing. It is loud enough to awaken my wife when I leave in the morning. I took it to the nearest Toyota dealer. It is a two hour drive each way and I had to take off a whole day of work. They could not do anything except give me a car wash. The kicker was cracking my windshield on the way home. I have been going in circles with Toyota Brand Engagement and the dealer. I am very disappointed in Toyota. Toyota Brand Engagement never provides me with any solid information. They are evasive on all questions. I am frustrated beyond belief. Unlike a few people on this forum, the dealership openly acknowledges that they've seen this problem repetitively. I have two friends with the LC250 where I live. They both have the problem too. It has really soured my love for the rig, which was through the roof when I first got it.

I just ordered these and will install this weekend to see if it fixes it. I have used these pads in the past and like them. Great performance and low dust. Will report back.

This advice is not a fix, but a possible solution......... If you are able, you might be able to back it into your parking space, thus negating the reverse squealing noise.

I get the squeal on backing out, 2.5K on the truck, 2025. Only happens for about the first couple of times I hit the brakes in reverse, then gone. So for me not a huge issue. Does not happen all the time or I would be more concerned.
