Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2000 Toyota Sienna

I was stopping in my driveway slightly downhill on loose stone and grass - 5 mph. The abs engaged, I could hear it. My foot was firmly on the brake pedal, I confirmed this visually during the incident. The car did not stop when it should have and the abs did not release until the car had rolled through bushes, etc. And stopped on its own. I believe that something is wrong with the abs safety system - the abs did not work properly, but at no point did the abs light come on to warn me of a safety hazard. Currently I have disabled the abs system by pulling the fuse. I have had the hydraulic brakes checked out by a local garage. I have not taken the vehicle to Toyota to get the abs system inspected yet.

I purchased my Sienna in 2001. It is a 2000 Toyota Sienna LS which currently has 150k miles. In 2002 I began to have issues with my rear brakes since this time I have had my brakes inspected every year due to grinding noises and squeaking. The first 2 times I've taken my van in they have inspected the rear brakes and said they are fine, just dusty and the claimed to have cleaned them. In 2008 however they sounded so bad and seemed very dangerous as they were still making grinding noises. I took my van to christian bothers and they redid my rear brakes. . . (OH, the abs light as been on all this time as well) maybe a week went by and the problem persisted. I took my van back a month later ( my transmission went out that same week and that's how long it took to get my van back)!! they inspected my brakes again and didn't see anything wrong, they were fine and they couldn't explain why they were making noise or why my abs light was on. I just cross my fingers every year that my van will pass inspection! thus far I have not had any accidents but am very afraid to drive my car on a wet road, when I apply the brakes on a wet road they pop and the van barely stops. I've had this issue for a long time, I know Toyota is a good manufacturer or I would not have purchased a Toyota. . But I can say for sure, I will not by another one I'm switching to Honda or buying american.

The abs check light remained on, which the consumer was informed by the owner's manual that brakes may not operate properly. Manufacturer will notified by owner.

My 2000 Toyota Sienna (VIN # 4t3zf13c6yu214452) anti-lock brakes have failed. I took it immediately to Toyota. Van mileage was only 66,706. Toyota dealer said abs pump motor failed. There is no recall. . . . If I wanted this function I could pay for the part $1,471. 00. . . . . Labor not quoted. This safety function was only activated automatically 4 or 5 times since I purchased it new.
