3) Brake noise:
Some sort of noise every now an then is common. A normal squeal acationaly can be fixed by steam cleaning the front wheel/brake area with the pressure wash. No disassembly needed, just a blast.

On 2WD Hilux and Hiace, if the front brakes get too hot the pads will tend to stick to the disk and cause a hellish vibrating noise. Maybe this is whats happening on the Camry also? but probably not.

There are a number of tricks to get brakes to quieten down. You can cut a groove in the pad with a hacksaw (some pads have this feature already). Chamfer the edges of the pad (many new pads have this now). Use a dap of silicon or grease between the back of the pad and the anti-squeal shims. Then either machine the disks if glazed, or rough them with emery tape. And use thick pad knock grease there the pads mount to the caliper.

Any Toyota mechanic should know all this, and again its only a noise, no real problem with the car.
