Brand new Yaris Cross brakes

[David Teasdale]

Has anyone else have a short sharp squeak when braking?

[Primus1]

Yes, quite normal I would say 

[Cyker]

Have you noticed a decline in the rodent population nearby...?   

But seriously, it seems to be quite normal - I think the hybrids don't use the brakes as much so they are more prone to getting 'squeaky'. Usually one hard stop is enough to quiet mine down (Usually thanks to the regular encounters I have with suicidal pedestrians and phone zombies).

 I do wonder if they are missing anti-squeal shims or something though, as it can get quite bad on mine, esp. in summer!

Mine only does it when I come to a complete stop, it’s not something that concerns me,

Never heard mine squeek

Every automatic car has it, some divers can notice some can not. 
Not an issue.
