Getting a quick poll to see how widespread this problem is, some have said it may coincide with humid locations.

I live in Colorado which obviously is very dry. However recently traveling through much more humid areas and I do have a slight squeal in reverse only.

A bit of brake squeal when braking when humid or after rain/going through puddles is normal, but people who ONLY get it while reversing is the weird part no matter the conditions. Ive been fortunate enough to have not encounter this issue.

I had the brake noise since the first day, but didn’t notice it during the test drive as I didn’t reverse on the dealer lot.

I do live in a humid environment, but this noise is way worse than a typical squeaky brake you might hear.

I am not sure what other words to use besides it is a high pitched squealing mixed with a low and loud mechanical resonance whining.

Wisconsin isn't humid like Mississippi but it isn't dry like Arizona either so I didn't know what to select there.

3400 miles in Michigan, I’ve heard the brakes squeal in reverse 3 times. Twice when backing out of my driveway in the morning, once after driving and then backing up. Never heard it backing out of a parking spot though, so it is very intermittent for mine. It really doesn’t seem bad, I would’ve thought nothing of it had I not read others complaints about it.

I would call it humid there in summer at least.

Mine didn't start until after I hit 5000 miles but I was in Colorado and dryer air for the first 5000 miles until I returned home. It was once I got back to Virginia that the brake squeal started for me but it's not that bad and doesn't bother me.

Mine started at about 3000 miles. I live in VA so it’s a bit humid. It happens when I pull out of the driveway but is fine after that

That’s exactly what mine sounds like. Typically happens when first leaving the driveway but is fine by the time I’m at the end of the street

Mine unfortunately sounds like this almost all the time. Has anyone received an opinion from a mechanic that is not employed at Toyota? The noise is driving me so crazy I might just have to get it fixed elsewhere.
