From 3,000 miles to now 8,300 miles, it started occasionally when you put it in reverse a loud squeal, like the brakes are going bad, now it’s literally every time you put it in reverse. Dealership said “most all of new Toyota suv and full size truck are doing it, and there’s nothing they can do
Vehicles brakes squeal when reversing on startup after vehicle has been allowed to sit. Braking at 10mph or slower is not smooth and has an abrupt sudden loss when transitioning from the energy regeneration to the hydraulic brakes.
The brakes when in reverse squeal the loudest I have ever heard in a car (even those that I have had over 150K miles. The car, with only 4272 miles on it, is now doing this pretty much each time I go in reverse. Today, 5/30/2025 the dealership was able to reproduce the problem. However, they say that Toyota has not made a remedy available. This is disturbing considering it is the brakes and the noise is loud. To me, squealing brakes indicate brakes that could fail - that is a safety concern.
My new Land Cruiser only has 2,000 miles, but the brakes squeal in reverse. It sounds like metal on metal—pretty loud and annoying. Not what I expected from a brand-new vehicle.
Brakes are squealing when in reverse. After the vehicle has not been driven for a day or even parked for more than an hour. Placing the vehicle in reverse, when backing out of the carport and turning the steering wheel to the left, there is a bad brake squeal. Had the same issue on my 2024 Toyota Tundra. That was fixed under T-SB-0043-24. The 2022-2024 Lexus GX550 has the same issue and has had a Service Bulletin issued L-SB-0036-24. The GX550 and Toyota Landcruiser use the same brakes. Dealership will do nothing till a SB is issued.

Brakes are squealing when in reverse. This was a known issue with 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra's. The service bulletin was number T-SB-0043-24 to change out front rotors and brake pads and mounting hardware. After that no more squeal. It was coming from the front end when backing up. The same issue is occurring on the 2024-2025 Toyota Land Cruiser's. I have attached 2 videos showing the squeal. After the vehicle has not been driven for a day or two, on a cold start and placing the vehicle in reverse, when backing out of the driveway and turning the steering wheel to the left, there is a bad brake squeal. The vehicle was purchased new with 13 miles on it and currently has 325 miles on it and the problem started when vehicle was purchased. I have the incidents on video and can provide if needed for proof.
Everytime I put my car in reserve the brakes screech so long. I have noticed it on other Land Cruisers as well. I am fearful of something happening with the brakes. Safety is obviously a priority and I have not seen anything from Toyota on this.
