Spoke with Toyota (800-331-4331) and while futile, the support person was helpful and explained that there are no current TSB or recalls for the Land Cruiser (something I knew) but further explained the more complaints they get, the more likely and sooner something will come of it. So I highly encourage anyone with this issue to reach out and complain to Toyota.
Brakes Squeal
- Thread starter bgeorger

I finally called Toyota Brand Engagement. Explained the squeeling brake issue to the kind voice on the other end of the line. She agreed. It’s a problem.
I then went on a 48 minute rant about the crappy, deceitful, and hateful service that Miss Daisy got at the Ocala, Fl Toyota dealer, ‘with receipts’, when my GF and I were vacationing down there. ( I haven’t even posted that info on here yet
)Thanks for the Toyota number... 800-331-4331
Calling these clowns right now. Need to make this right. Been happening to me ever since first rainfall when I only had ~1k miles. Still only at 3k and no improvement after trying to work the pads in. No signs of rust this early on either.

Inmates need to quit bellyaching on here about the squealing brakes, and just call Toyota. The number has been posted in may threads on this forum.
Keep calling. I called Toyota a second time (now at 7500 miles and still squeezing) and they pushed my complaint to the dealer. The dealer claims they are not allowed to fix it until Toyota puts out a bulletin or they could have some liability. Also, all they can do is put the same parts back in. Toyota is losing future customers over this. Maybe we need to get the Toyota press representative involved.
Pretty much the same experience, they called the dealer before calling me. I said they need to issue a service bulletin so the dealer knows what to do, I don't really blame the dealer at this point.
I’ve tracked this from the beginning. The most maddening thing is that there is a TSB for the Lexus GX. Every time I see this post pop back up in the “Latest posts list…” I expect someone to announce a TSB… nope.
