T-SB-0043-24. In this safety bulletin it is noted that front brakes squeak. Loudly I might state. Happens always in the morning when backing out of covered garage. The bulletin says to verify then replace. Can get no help from Dealership or from Toyota USA. Very annoying and do not know about danger.

The problem is, in order to stop the trailer brakes from locking up und…

please refer to NHTSA issue 11624149. Toyota has dismissed my complaints about the trailer brake controller and has (twice now) closed the complaint I have filed with them regarding the issue I am having with the trailer brake controller.

The improper programing on the trailer brake controller in this vehicle is a …
