    I have a 2013 toyota sienna awd with 23,500 miles on it and my brakes just started scrapping. I took the vehicle to a dealer and was told the brakes and rotors were worn out and needed to be changed. Cost: $970 and change. A car with such low mileage should not need new brakes and rotors.the dealership could not give me a reason for the wear but insisted the work was necessary and that they had the car apart and…

    I bought my sienna 12/27/2012. In october 2014 while driving home from lake tahoe, the car began shaking violently while traveling down hill. Upon returning home the car continued to shake anytime the brakes were applied. Took the car to the dealer and they said the rotors were warped and needed to be replaced. The car had $15k miles on it. This is unheard of. In july 2014 toyota issued t-sb-0045-14 relating to this…

    Brakes locked up while trying to leave a parking lot. Many warning lights came on including vsc, abs, and traction control and the computer said needs immediate service. The toyota service manager said they've never seen this and that the actuator needs replaced. I've noted that there are 2 other instances of this issue and hope that this safety issue will be investigated. The nhtsa campaign number: 14v054000 that…

Pumping the brake did not have any noticeable effect. Needed to use pull off into a parking lot. Turned off the ignition and used the parking brake to stop. After a few minutes, everything seemed to be working normally again and drove home (about…

    Winter rear brake freeze up. Took the van to northtown toyota today & was told by the service tech. That the van can't be washed in winter because it causes the rear brakes to freeze up. This has to be a manufacturing or design defect. We live in niagara falls, ny & the van gets extremely dirty in winter & needs washing regularly. *tr

    Electronic Stability Control · Service Brakes

    I've just finished reading the nhtsa campaign number: 14v054000 that discusses: "an electrical component within the actuator may experience an increased resistance resulting in the illumination of various warning lights, including those for the vehicle stability control (vsc) system, antilock brake system (abs), and traction control system." i've had this happen three times over the past four months. I've taken it…
