During normal driving conditions, dry pavement normal traffic conditions,at approx 45 mph. With accelerator pedal depressed and maintaining 45 mph the brakes suddenly and violently applied. I do not know if it was front rear or perhaps both. Brake pedal was at no time depressed, braking was severe enough to cause the seat beat to lock up restraining driver. Abs warning light was on ( possibly being on prior to sudden braking but was not noticed if it indeed was). . Sudden braking lasted only for maybe a second or two then ceased and abs warning light went off with apparent normal braking operation returning for remainder of short trip. . . . Condition, thus far has occurred only one time.

It has happened on level surfaces as well as inclines. When you step on the brake, they first make a grinding sound. Then, immediately after, they make a sound like a metal spring uncoiling (like a clicking, otherwise). After that, you are free sailing as you have no brakes! this has occurred several times while either trying to brake or even after braking successfully and then all of a sudden they let loose while at a stop causing the vehicle to accelerate forward. I have thankfully been able to avoid any serious injury or accidents, however have had a minor issue with hitting a fence due to the brake failure. We have had the brake system checked for any repairs needed only to be told that there is nothing wrong with the brake system. Also note that the abs light and traction lite often comes on dash even on dry surfaces. This braking problem is something that happens in the sienna, but in other model Toyotas as well. Currently, it is only the prius braking system that is getting public attention, however.

2004 Avalon xls - abs dash light has been staying on continuously for over two years once engine is started. I took it to dealer once about three years ago and dealer said it was because a book was under the back of the driver's seat. The light was not continuously staying on when the dealer told me this. The problem continues.

I picked up the car from the dealer for a routine check to make sure the front end was okay after hitting a pot hole . Found engine check and abs lights on in the dash,and dealer said there was nothing wrong with the inspection and I would need to bring the car back for this problem. I have waited for parts and have been back to them at least 7 times with the continued related problem.
