I have an intermittent failure with the anti-skid. Once or twice a month i will be turning without any brakes on and the anti-skid light comes on and the car behaves like it is trying to compensate for a skid. *tr

Brake failure in a 2005 toyota sienna. I see other reports of this problem in siennas based on an on-line google search. The problem, in my case, is intermittent. Brake failure has happened two times when attempting to stop at intersections. Once to my wife and once to me. The pedal does not go all the way down to the floor, but pressing hard on the pedal is ineffective to stop the car in a normal distance. The abs…

Slowing as i approached a four-way stop, my brakes failed to stop. I heard a loud noise (my husband, a mechanical engineer says it is the anti-lock brakes) and the brakes don't work. On the fourth braking attempt they worked. This is the third time this has happened. Each time was at a slow speed, after a rain, but not raining. *tr

I purchased a new 2005 toyota sienna minivan from a local dealer in 2005. At 15,000 miles the dealership replaced all 4 rotors/brake pads/tires under warranty. Since then about every 10,000 - 20,000 miles the vehicle needs new rotors and brake pads. We now have 61,000 miles on it and are on our fourth set of pads and rotors. The dealer claims this is "normal wear and tear", but this is the worst performance i have…

Brakes fail to work properly. When approaching a stop sign and applying the brakes to slow to a stop, the brakes fail to engage properly so it's like you're floating uncontrollably while approaching the intersection and it feels like you will not be able to stop in time then all of a sudden it will stop, causing everyone and everything within the vehicle to lurch (or fly) forward. In cold weather, when applying the…

I was involved in an accident which should just be a minor fender bender but lost all brakes and caused my 2005 toyota sienna limited awd to just keep on going until i hit a house and that made my van stop. I was running 25mph. My sienna was totaled not because of the initial impact but because of the van hitting the house. *tr

We have a 2005 toyota sienna mini-van. At 16000 miles, it had a routine check and was found to have a stuck caliper in the front and so the dealer replaced all four rotors, brake pads, and tires. Now at 52000, the van was taken in for inspection and found to need all four rotors, brakes pads, and tires replaced again. We checked some web sites and found many people with similar issues with the sienna. I contacted…

Last year i was driving my 2005 toyota sienna, and a line of ducks walked out in front of my car. I slammed on the brakes but the car just kept going, running over a duck and stopping about 30 ft later. I thought maybe i was too slow to brake. Then a couple of weeks later a man walked out from behind a trailer and i tried to slam on the brakes (i was only going about 20 mph). The man saw me and had time to get out…

In fact i cannot seem to be able to apply the brakes sufficiently hard to bring the car to a stop if needed (from my house i have a steep downhill and then a stop sign before continuing on a larger street.) have noticed this also…
