What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2001 toyota sienna. While applying pressure to the brakes, the contact heard a loud grinding noise coming from the ABS motor. The brakes did not engage and the contact crashed into another vehicle. The contact did not inform the dealer or manufacturer of the failure nor was the vehicle repaired. The current and failure mileage was 120,000.
Vibration in rear brakes causing a harmonic noise when coming to a complete stop or if on a downward incline with brakes applied and just barely inching along. This is not the normal squeal from brake pads. I have been concerned that this vibration is causing other parts to become loose. I purchased the 2001 toyota sienna XLE van new in sept 2000. All of my service is done according to toyota's schedule and at toyota of greensburg, pa. The noise started aprox. Feb of 2002 with 19,000 miles on the vehicle.
