Prado 250 squealing brakes

[imann777]

I am really surprised Lexus has a TSB (BR2404) for the GX550 (Front Brake Squeal Noise) , and more or less, the components are similar to Toyota except the branding. As both are built on common platform. And why Toyota has not noticed this for so long.

I have the same issue when backing up, and its extra loud in colder weather. I try to pump the brakes as I back up to warm up the metal. Don't know if that is even a thing, but it helps most times... annoying for certain.

Please call Toyota customer service 1-800-331–4331 to complain about the break noise. Mine have squealed since the day I bought it and I’m at 5000 miles.They told me they won’t fix this or put out an TSB until enough. People complain to them

Yes! I just reported the issue and the customer service representative said that they need it reported to build a case procurement. Case numbers are gathered for common issues which eventually rise to a systemic issue among vehicles. Thanks for the number!

Known problem on the 22+ Tundras, had mine replaced prior to trading it, called for new rotors, pads and shim kit.
