I don't have any brake noises and i don't believe it's normal. Get a second opinion.

Im scared!! I dont know how to tell the dealership service guy that that is an unacceptable answer that "it's supposed to do that". Its brand new so its under warranty, the technically have to fix it. I dont wanna void my warranty by going to see my normal mechanic dude but on the other hand without even looking at my brakes the people who are supposed to fix my car are telling me the noise is normal. Help

I got 8k on mine and NEVER heard once a single noise coming from any braking. You already got about 6 people give you a second opinion who have not heard this "ticking" sound. Your the CUSTOMER. Suggestion.....speak to your salesperson who sold you the vehicle and explain what has been going on and that you have already spoken to other owners etc. and see what he can do to have them inspected (again!)/repaired/replaced. I don't understand WHY the mechanic would "lube" everything up IF the noise is normal as he claims??? Sounds to me like excuses already (from what your stating). The "floating disc brake" thing I don't understand either. MAYBE he meant floating pads?? If so, not on a new vehicle especially if it was not doing it on a test vehicle and when you drove yours the first week or so. Have some balls and a positive attitude and confront your salesperson and go from there....just keep taking NO for an answer till they give in. Don't forget..You're the Customer! Good luck.

Refuse to leave untill they find the problem, if they insist it is normal then have them take you out in a new one from the lot, and when that one does not make noise bitch up a storm... and/or go to another Toyota dealership and tell them what happened at the other dealership
