At under 6000 miles and I'm already hearing a squeak. I noticed a reverse squeak much earlier in ownership but in the last week, I've heard it going forward. Is there a TSB that addresses this (I'm pretty sure there was one for the reverse sqeak)? Is lubrication needed?
There is a TSB for this (replacing rear brake shims). I had it done and the noise was still there, so the dealer ended up taking apart the rear brakes and applying anti-squeak lube. I believe I read there is now a second TSB on this issue. Try a search for more info.
I did check for the listed TSBs at Edmunds but none covered brakes (perhaps it is not a complete list).
This one, I suppose: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii...g/79014-rear-brake-squeak-t-sb-0098-10-a.html (not showing on Edmunds list)
Hate to bump this again but my car is not in the VIN list for that TSB. I shall be waiting until the problem becomes more regular, but I'm intermittently hearing the squeaking in both forward and reverse. I suppose it could be due to uneven wear or the need of lubrication, but I think it's a bit ridiculous to hear at only ~6K miles! Maybe I should engage in stopping on a dime a few times to see if that clears it up (hate being wasteful with the pads). I'd rather not fight with the dealer over an intermittent problem when they claim to me they can't recreate it.
