ABS brakes fail. There was a problem with the car that was supposedly fixed by Toyota before I purchased the car in 2001 as a used car. In 2003 the brake petal started to vibrate the the ABS light came on. Toyota did repairs outside of the warrentee. Yesterday the light came on, I stopped the car, turned it off and then restarted the car. As I started to proceed I heard this loud sound from the brakes and had to stand on the petal to stop the car. Once the ABS light came on again the brakes worked fine. When I reached my destination I removed the ABS fuse and will not replace it for fear of a major accident. I have sent an E-mail to Toyota as well. I am sending this mainly so there is a record in case others have a similar problem. At this point I will not use the ABS brakes even if Toyota offers to fix them. They have been unsuccessful twice and I will not ride in this car with my grand kids. Toyota Sienna 2000
I purchased a Toyota Sienna new in 4/2000. Within a few months the brakes began to squeak every time I braked. The local dealership has told me countless Sienna's from 1998-2003 have experienced this. Toyota tried a fix that worked 8 months. It is a shame that you pay $30,000 for a vehicle and the co. Will not stand behind it.
