Common signs include squealing, vibration or pulsation through the pedal, longer stopping distances, a brake warning on the dash, or grinding noises.

On Aurora stop‑and‑go roads and Front Range canyon descents, brake wear on a 2016 Toyota Highlander Hybrid can accelerate. If you notice any of these symptoms, book a prompt inspection to prevent rotor damage and keep regenerative braking working smoothly with the friction system. Our Toyota team will confirm pad thickness and rotor condition.
