Squealing in reverse-New LC

[Lucylee76]

My 2025 LC (model 1958) was purchased brand new mid January of this year. I had absolutely no issues for the first 2000 miles. Then, out of the blue, I started noticing an annoying and sometimes loud squealing/squeaking noise when I back up. Always happens on first drive in the morning, and also throughout the day, about 9 out of 10 times. I am very frustrated to have this issue with a new car that I paid over $60K for and have made 2 payments on so far. I took it in to the dealership for my first service at just under 5,000 miles and also told them about the issue. They claimed they never heard it and after inspection said everything looked “perfect”. Please someone give me some useful advice on what my next step should be.

Welcome to the asylum Lucylee76.

There may be twenty eleven threads on this topic on this forum. It also occurs in the Lexus Gx550, which is built in the same factory, on the same assembly line as some of our Land Cruisers.. Lexus has already issued a TSB for the problem which allows their dealers to fix the problem at no cost to the owners. The fix involves replacing the rotors and brake pads.

Many inmates in the other threads recommend calling the corporate Toyota Brand Engagement office and lodging a complaint with them (yes, Toyota corporate knows about the problem) so that hopefully Toyota will issue the same recall for us as they did for the GX550 owners. Go figure.

Good luck.

I have the same issue. A very loud screeching sound as I back up. I had the oil changed at 1000 miles, and forgot to ask them to check it out, which I will do when I have the oil changed at 5000 miles. Let’s hope it’s nothing serious.
