I just got my new SR5 V6 4runner and it is great.
I notice one thing with the brakes. There is a hissing sound like air that comes from the brakes when I depress the pedal. They seem to work fine but the noise is a little bothersome. Does anyone else have this with their vehicle. I wouldn't mind it so much if it is common.

You might want to check out TMV new car prices, used car pricing, used car values at Edmunds.

I am no mechanic, but I've had the same question and this is the answer I received. The 4Runner used a hydrolic system for its breaks. Every three to four times that you use your breaks, the system needs to recharge, and you will hear a noise associated with breaking, something about a pump recharging the hydrolic reserve. This is far from a technical answer, but I think that your hissing sound accurately describes the noise. I hear the same thing on my 4Runner.

I have the exact same problem with my 99 4Runner.
The weather doesn't have to be cold, just the car shouldn't have been started in the last 8 hours. Once it starts I can turn it off and on at will fairly easily.
 
I just pulled out the battery and had it tested and it seems to be working fine. All that I hear is a "click" and then I try a couple of times with "click" and then the engine starts fine.
 
It seems to be getting worse, as it would just click maybe like once a month, but this week it seems that it is happening much more frequently.

This is the first time I have posted any questions and I am kinda new to this all but I have a 2004 4wd 4Runner and I reciently backed into a guy and was wondering if I can paint the back gray fender right above my towing hitch or if I have to replace it. Also has anyone installed a wind guard on the sunroof and how much it costs.

I have the same make and model and my breaks do it as well... it seems to be normal as far as I am concerned. I have had mine for almost a year and I have never had a problem with the breaks...knock on wood.
