Hi all,
Has anyone else had trouble with their brakes squeeling in reverse when cold, had my hilux just over a year now and complained about it at the 10 000 service so they removed the pads and roughed them up and polished the rotors but no joy, since then been verbally acknowledged there is a problem with the model in Australia and assured they will be replaced as soon as they get the parts issued by Toyota and they are issued in order of complaints, been several months now and I ask every service but informed last week at the 40 000 that there are none available in Australia ( bet if I ring and ask a dealer for a price to buy some they will find a set) so still waiting, just hope they get here before I smash my front windows in the house while backing out of my yard. It really is ear-piercing, have to cover ears if close to it. Very grateful I have tolerant neighbours.
Very embarrassing with a new 50 000 plus dollar car.
