    Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Switch

    2015 toyota sienna limited defective brake system design. The consumer stated toyota has done nothing to fix the inaudible turn indicator. The consumer stated the issue was whether or not the braking system could support towing an additional 3500 pound load as advertised.

    Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Steering

    Started to notice this back in nov 2013 when going downhill or 65 mph. My van steering wheel started to shake and rattle. Brought over to dealership and they didn't find anything except to charge me $125 for diagnostics. Says more likely rotor need resurface. My van still under btob warranty but we're told not covered under warranty. That's ridiculous. Time past 4 months later, still rattling. Brought over to…

    While driving 35 mph on a city street, i lost brake function. I was able to coast to a complete stop, thankfully avoiding other traffic and obstacles. Once i was stopped, i found that there was a long bolt on the floorboard underneath the gas pedal. When the towtruck driver arrived, he reached in and pulled the gas pedal completely off - there was nothing fastening it to the car. He was able to reinstall the bolt,…

    Electronic Stability Control · Service Brakes, Hydraulic

    After pulling out of the driveway and driving forward less than 100 yds, the vehicle began to pull left and right as if vehicle stability control were taking over. Very shortly after, the vehicle came to an abrupt stop with brakes seemingly applied on their own (power brake assist?). The screen lit up with the following warnings, "check abs," "check vsc," and "check brake system," followed by "have your vehicle…

    We have owned this 2002 toyota sienna since 2002. The brakes have always squealed when stopping gradually, and the dealer said that sienna brakes all squeal. There have been only a few instances over the previous 9 years when the abs has activated and i had always felt that the abs on this was much superior to the mazda protege that we owned. However in the past month or two, the abs activated about 3 or 4 times, on…

    Power Train · Service Brakes, Hydraulic

    I was driving approximate 25-30 mph on a dry, level street. A car stopped in front of me to make a left hand turn. I applied the brakes and nothing happened. I released and reapplied the brakes again and again no response. I was able to swerve to the right into an empty parking lot to avoid hitting the car or another collision. After swerving and reapplying the brakes a 3rd or 4th time i was able to come to a stop.…
