Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)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 READY TO GO. BECAUSE IT IS A 2013 THERE WAS NO WARRANTEE SO I HAD TO PAY THE ENTIRE BILL OUT OF POCKET.
AUGUST 1 2015: DRIVING STRAIGHT AND LEVEL, ABOUT 30 MPH BEGAN TO SLOW TO TURN AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. PEDDLE WAS SOFT, UNSURE IF IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. 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 3-4 MILES) WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP (VEHICLE STILL UNDER WARRANTY) AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND TO BRING THE CAR IN ON MONDAY (INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A SATURDAY) FOR EXAMINATION.
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
