Example complaints

“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.”

NHTSA complaint #11709550, filed 2026-01

“We have a land crusier. The iforce edition. We have several trailers that we tow around. This time I hook up a single axile trailer on the hitch back. Plugged it in properly and turned the towing botton on inside the cab of the car. When i went to back up it acted like something was behind me and the brakes locked up hard. Jolting the vehicle into sudden stop and lock up. Then i put it in park and it did it again and again. It took me 15min to back up out of the drive way. …”

NHTSA complaint #11770485, filed 2026-10

“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.”
