Owner report 11620611 · 2024-10-18 (October 18, 2024)
When backing up, the brakes squeal, sometimes a little bit, sometimes extremely loudly. Initially only happened off of a cold start at the beginning of the day, but now happens about half the time when backing up. This started occurring within a couple of weeks of purchasing the brand new vehicle. It has been to the dealership twice and they have made no repairs because they reportedly cannot replicate the issue.

Owner report 11624483 · 2024-11-11 (November 11, 2024)
My brand new Land Cruiser has random extremely hard downshifts when coming to a stop. It is so jolting that it lunges the car forward and could potentially cause me to rear end someone. It doesn’t happen every time I come to a stop but it does seem that coming to a quick stop such as emergency braking or braking after faster driving makes it more likely to happen. There are no warning lights on the dash and I haven’t had it checked out by Toyota because I am quite positive they will tell me nothing is wrong because they probably won’t be able t…
