Brakes Squeal

Are you aware that you can easily find very good aftermarket brake pads that will remove the squeal, likely for under a hundred bucks? If you’re otherwise happy with the $70k purchase it seems odd to want to give up on it for such a minor issue 🤷‍♂️
 
Hello everyone, got some public attention on this from John at Auto Expert here in Australia. Please go make a comment on his video and share your experience:

Perhaps if Toyota is named and shamed about this they'll start prioritising a fix.
 
I decided to take a video of Miss Daisy singing to me today. Does anyone know where to send it so that Toyota can evaluate it?

Well dammit. I had a 25 second video that the forum said was too large to upload. So I kept editing it down by 5 seconds at a time, until I got it down to 10 seconds. Each version was rejected as being too large to upload. And the forum still says 10 seconds is too large to upload.

I shouldn't have to do that.
 
There's finally a TSB:

@bgeorger maybe add this to your original post so it's easy to find?

Does this work and if so what brand? I thought I read about another owner trying this with power stop but the squeal returned. Thanks!
 
Happy for all the afflicted! Especially those who have LCs that sound like freight trains. Really hope this solves the issue.
 
Thank you @Markarian421.

Just made my appointment at the dealer for next Wednesday. They are calling back later to confirm TSB and parts availablity.
