Description of the problem	i have replaced the brakes in my 2003 highlander in feb and aug 2008 complaining of squealing and occasional grinding. I returned in oct, nov and dec only to be told they hear no noise. I e-mailed the service mgr in jan 2009 and they picked up serviced & delivered the car to me. Within 24 hours i had grinding again. I was wondering if these are the same brakes they used on the 2004 lexus. My husband was unable to stop last week and did tap the bumper of the car in front of us, fortunately their bumper was not a toyota so it did not scratch like ours does.
