During a 30,000 mile check up on our 2008 toyota sienna all wheel drive van, we had to replace the front and rear breaks because they were ground down and dangerous, according to our toyota dealer where the repairs where made. Pads had to be replaced, rotors had to be ground down for both front and rear. All the mileage is long distance highway driving. There was no accident but the dealer seemed very concerned. *tr

2008 toyota sienna--momentary mild inadvertent acceleration upon application of brake, mostly noticed at lower speeds (30-40 mph). Then brake takes hold. For the 1-2 seconds of acceleration, it feels smoother as if car is in higher gear for that moment. I bought the car new, toyota says this is a normal effect of how the transmission works. No accidents; just reporting what feels like something's not right. Ongoing.…
