brake noise when starting drive

[Tyger255]

2015 4 runner with about 100k miles. Bone Stock. After driving it for a few weeks we noticed when she backs out the drive way to start her drive in the morning the brakes make this GOD AWFUL squealing sound when she lightly applys the brakes. I thought since it is a used vehicle that it might need pads. checked all 4 wheels and the brakes look good, damn near new. I let it go for a month to see if it worked it self out since the pads looked new and no change. So I put new pads all around, I used Bosch QuitCast ceramic pads. It seem to clear it up for about 3 weeks and started again, just like before. I greased all the pads when installing, so no issue there. I pulled all the brakes to check for any issues or strange wearing and everything looks perfect. Rotors look good, nothing loose. Everything seems ok. I thought about taking the rotors to get resurfaced to see if that helps but haven't done it yet. After the first time you stop and they squeal for about 4-5 seconds it does not do it again till the vehicle has sat for 4 or 5 hours. Brakes work great, stop with no issues, no shaking or vibrations when stopping. Any thoughts?

Only post I found when searching this issue is for 4th gen 4 runner with no real solution other then rebed the pads. I've tired, no change.

I never had this problem. But at 65k, I had new brakes Put in. And it started. Dealership that did my brakes said it was normal. Clearly it’s not normal. It’s embarrassing to back out of my driveway in the morning.

Yes, its horrible. I can literally hear it from 1/2 a mile away. If i'm asleep when my wife leaves it always wakes me up. I've thought about swapping to a drilled rotor and see if there is any change, but I hate throwing money at a problem in the hopes that it "might" fix it.

My new brake squeal too. When I redo my suspension, I'm going to try and do a couple things to help, but I think it's just the pads. I was warned to only go with OEM pads but didn't listen. Aftermarket one, even though they are ceramic, just are terrible.

Have you tried to duplicate by setting the e-brake? Pick a time when it’s not happening. Try setting it lightly and increase a little at a time. I’m wondering if the e-brake or cable is binding, not fully relaxing. They can act up if not used regularly. Just a thought.
