Hard braking sessions going forward I assume? The squeaking only occurs in reverse and is really loud - almost a grinding sound. But I’ll try it. The mechanic I talked to today said they had a similar issue on a pickup model last year, and ended up changing brake pad suppliers for that model…. As I told him, if this squeal persists for another couple months, I’m going to unload this truck- assuming they can get the forward/rear camera error issue sorted, been in the shop twice, 3000 miles and 2.5 months into ownership- not great.
Anyone's brakes squealing when you reverse?

Yep, going forwards. My vehicle is at around 2500 miles. I also had the squeal when reversing and in the morning when the temperature was cooler. Look up “proper brake bed in procedure”. This is what Google AI told me. I wasn’t able to follow it to a T but with a few good hard brakes I believe my rotors are bedded and I have not had any squealing.
- Find a Safe Area: Choose a long, straight road with minimal traffic and no immediate turns or stops.
- Initial Stops: Perform 3-4 medium stops from around 45 mph, slightly more aggressive than normal braking.
- Aggressive Stops: Follow with 8-10 aggressive stops from 60 mph down to 15 mph, accelerating back up to 60 mph as soon as you've slowed down.
- Cooling: After the stops, drive for several miles with little or no braking to allow the components to cool.
- Repeat: You may need to repeat the process if you feel the brakes aren't performing optimally.
Here’s some good information on brake bedding.

Picked up my vehicle and they've ordered in a full replacement of brake pads and rotors.
It go interesting when I asked if there's a TSB on it, and he said no, and that I'm the first one who's ever complained about anything to do with the LC. I told him the brake issue is all over the forums. He rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, the forums. Yeah, ignore the forums. I stay away from them altogether. Lotta Crazy people on there."
Hey Annie, just a heads up that I had it in at Heninger today, and they've ordered new pads and rotors for me.
I just started having this happen at 3,500 miles, but mine doesn’t do this consistently so I hang my phone out of the window and record each time I reverse to catch it when it happens. Service advisor initially told me I’d need to come in and replicate it for the tech. Usually only happens in the morning when it’s cool, so replicating wouldn’t be so simple. I recently heard a neighbor’s newer Tacoma make this noise when he was reversing this past weekend. I’m disappointed that Toyota isn’t doing more to address this.
Installing a new set of front brake pads will fix it. $100 or less
yes! The dealer fixed mine once, but it's happening again. They told me that Toyota is working on this known issue, like on the Tundras? Apparently they will be issuing us all new brakes to rectify this? Hope so. I'm sick of it.
Find. Another. Dealer.
This is good to know, as Stampede told me the noise was normal for Toyota hybrids, and nothing they cna do.Picked up my vehicle and they've ordered in a full replacement of brake pads and rotors.

If people would call Toyota Brand Engagement @ 1-800-331-4331 and complain to them, we would have a TSB sooner.
Toyota Canada's immediate response was to ask me whether I'd had it into the dealer yet, and what the dealer's opinion was. Kinda like calling tech support and the first question is, "Is your device plugged in?"
They want you to take it to the dealer before they do anything though. I might be there anyways as my vehicle just threw an engine code along with the Drive-Start Control System error while it's have some damage repaired (someone hit my front 3/4 area, small dent etc)........ fml
Yes. My 2024 has 9300 miles and started the brakes started to squeal about 8000 miles only in reverse.Hi all - we have a sticky thread in the problems/issues forum, and I made a post about contacting Toyota Brand Experience to get more visibility about this problem affecting us.
Brakes Squeal
Does anyone else exerience brakes squeel in reverse? Mine seems to do it mostly after it has sat for a while. I only notice it in reverse.www.landcruiserforum.com
Hello
I have the LC250 2.7l, which I purchased in Dec 2024 (Kazakhstan), after a few months of ownership, we started to notice the brake squeal, mainly when manoeuvring out of our underground car park, and occasionally when travelling at low speeds ( example in parking lots), I have noticed on the internet there is a TSB out for this, we went ot the local Toyato Centre yesterday for its 10,000km service ( current odmeter reading at 9559km), We mentioned this concern to the service desk and waited for the service to be completed, after 3 hrs. we were told our car was ready. Despite asking for more detailed feedback, all they said was that they have been greased. Not very happy with the attitude ( but Customer satisfaction is low down on any list here in Kazakhstan).
After returning home, we wrote an email to the Toyota Kazakhstan Head Office to enquire about the TSB, and we are still waiting for a response.
I would be interested to know if anyone on this Forum could confirm if there is a Technical Service Bulletin for this problem
