2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Brake Pads

A grinding sound means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is contacting the rotor, so stop driving and book service. A squeal or scrape can also signal wear, while changes in pedal feel or stopping distance require prompt attention. An inspection measures the remaining material on all four corners.

• Squeal or scrape while braking
• Grinding caused by contact with the rotor
• Longer pedal travel or stopping distance

Brake components should be assessed as a system rather than treating the pads in isolation. The inspection helps identify conditions that could affect braking performance or shorten the life of replacement pads. At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues, you can schedule service for a complete brake assessment.

• Pad material measurement at all four corners
• Replacement pads matched to the vehicle’s braking system
• Inspection of rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid

City traffic, towing, hills, and hard stops can shorten pad life because they ask the braking system to work more often or with greater force. The SUV’s weight and towing capability also make condition-based inspection important. A measurement on all four corners shows whether service is needed now or at the next visit.

• Stop-and-go city driving increases brake use
• Towing and hills place additional demand on the system
• Inspection measures the remaining pad material directly

The rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid are inspected alongside the pads. If worn pads have reached the backing plate, rotor contact can affect the condition of the rotor and change what service is appropriate. Assessing the complete brake system helps prevent replacing pads while ignoring a related problem.

• Rotors are inspected during pad service
• Backing-plate contact can affect rotor condition
• Brake components should be evaluated together

A grinding noise means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is on the rotor; stop driving and book it. Squealing, scraping, longer pedal travel, or a longer stopping distance also call for prompt inspection. Brake pads, rotors, hardware, calipers, and fluid should be assessed together.

• Grinding means the friction material is gone
• Longer stopping distance requires prompt attention
• Stop driving if the backing plate is contacting the rotor

Booking brake service gets the remaining pad material measured on all four corners, along with an inspection of the rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid.
