Brakes Squeal

I saw a tip on one of these threads apart hitting the parking break button after turning on the vehicle. The red park light will go off and it has drastically reduced the amount of squeal I’ve had in reverse.

That doesn't make sense. The squeal is from the front brakes and the parking brake is only on the rear axle.

I’ve got no clue. Give it a try. Just stating my observation. Seems to have worked for him as well. It didn’t go away. But it’s definitely shortened the sequels.

I think some Hawk tooey might help

I took my vehicle in today. I went out with the foreman, and the brakes squealed after a short effort to replicate the noise.

They're going to research the problem and open a case with Toyota.
