2001 Toyota Sienna Brakes Problems

“Within the last year I have replaced my brake pads replace 3 times. Just last month I replaced my pads , rotors and calipers. But now my pads are grinding really bad again and it's been 30 days since I had new pads, rotors and calipers put on. Something is definitely wrong! I'm worried about the safety of Toyota Sienna van.”

“While driving at slow speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the deceleration is almost zero. Pressing harder on the pedal does nothing to increase the deceleration. This has happened numerous times. I have had the vehicle into the shop several times and nothing could be found. I have replaced the master cylinder with no change. Crashes were averted in some cases by inches.”

“I replaced my brakes pad and routers less than a year ago and replaced all 4 tires december 2012 at sears. My ABS light and tire pressure light come on every time I drive and recently I pulled out of my driveway at no more than 5 MPH and pressed on the brake and I couldn't stop reversing in the street. I fell when I driving the anti brake system tries to work. Because my pedal jumps and vibrates and I hear clicking grinding sounds. I have had to stop intersections because my van wouldn't stop when I needed it too.”

“I own a 2001 Toyota Sienna minivan with 76,400 miles. I have owned this vehicle since it was new purchased in late 2000. # . Anyhow, my wife was driving the car near our home on august 2, hit the brakes moderately hard to avoid striking a deer, and the right front brake disintegrated. It was replaced today by chippewa auto, located near here. They told me, and gave me the pieces, that the right front rotor broke loose from its mounting and broke in half, because of corrosion. Furthermore the left front rotor was in danger of doing the same, and was cracked loose for 2/3 of it circumference. …”

“The brakes make noise when ever I apply them. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership for repair a couple of times. First 2 times, they said need service. They did service to clean dust. Even after that, the sound did not go. They mentioned this is normal for all seinna's. They said the sound coming when metal pads hits metal rings, drum. I believe the sound is due to design fault or fault materials. I bought a brand new vehicle and only 20000 miles on it. They refused to replace any parts. They said there is no problem and every thing normal. …”
