Toyota Sienna rear brakes squeak after installation with excessive brake dust in cabin on Toyota Sienna

Problem overview

Some Toyota Sienna owners report experiencing squeaking brakes after installation, which can be attributed to factors such as worn-out brake pads or rotors, alert strips indicating the need for replacement, or metal-to-metal contact signaling the need for new brake pads. Additionally, excessive brake dust in the cabin is often linked to quickly wearing brake pads or improperly installed brake components. Some owners notice that the squeaking primarily occurs when the brakes and discs are cold, suggesting a temperature-related issue affecting brake performance. Furthermore, a creaking noise when applying the brakes at higher speeds may indicate problems with the rear brakes or the need for the rotors to be turned on a brake lathe. To resolve these issues, it is recommended that owners inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear, ensure correct installation of brake components, and consider having the rotors turned if necessary to eliminate noise-causing runout issues.
