2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid brakes problems

Filed Oct 11, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · TX

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. Also, the force of the braking was so strong that the hitch dug into my concrete drive way and cracked the bottom half of the drive way. This is so frustrating and dangerous. It has already caused damage to my own property. This should not be happening.

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.

2025 Land Cruiser bought 7 months ago constant rattling and tapping noise near passenger rear near pillar B and C. Brought to the dealer for corrective action to identify, address and to resolve the problem due to annoying ticking, rattling and tapping noise while travelling on a rough road. According to a service adviser their mechanics from dealer dismantled panels and head liners to pinpoint noise and find out that, the noises is located near pillar C and pillar B. As recommendation by the service adviser the Land Cruiser needed to be bring to a car body shop to reweld parts from both pilar B and C that was creating the rattling noise. I believe the 2025 Land Cruiser have a manufacturer welding defects that creating the rattling and tapping noise which is needed to be thoroughly investigated. Pillars a, b, c, and d on cars which have welding defects can compromise the safety of the vehicles and its occupants. 1. It weakens the structure and reduce crashworthiness. 2.Failure of welded components will reduce strength and load bearing. 3.Risk of cabin collapse. 4.It impact on safety features this areas is where airbags and safety belts been supported. 5. Welded defects will increase risk of accidents and injury.

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.
