Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Squealing, howling brakes. since i bought the vehicle "new" in nov, 2000, and it is the 2001 rav4 l model, i have gone back 3-4 times, and nothing they do helps the problem. they tell me the car is safe and that squealing is normal. this is not a normal squeal, or screech, its more like "howling". *ak
