Problem overview

Some Toyota RAV4 owners report experiencing a screeching sound when pressing both the brake and accelerator pedals, which may indicate potential issues with the vehicle. These owners note that screeching or squealing noises while braking can suggest worn brake pads or rotors, necessitating an inspection of the brake pads for thickness and wear. Additionally, if the screeching occurs during acceleration, it could point to a worn-out or loose serpentine belt. It is important for owners to differentiate between the sounds when braking and accelerating to accurately identify the source of the noise. If the screeching persists, it is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect the brake pads, rotors, and serpentine belt to determine the exact cause and address the problem effectively.
