Brake failure in a 2005 Toyota Sienna. I see other reports of this problem in Siennas based on an on-line google search. The problem, in my case, is intermittent. Brake failure has happened two times when attempting to stop at intersections. Once to my wife and once to me. The pedal does not go all the way down to the floor, but pressing hard on the pedal is ineffective to stop the car in a normal distance. The abs system does not engage despite the amount of strong force on the pedal that I exerted. The car eventually came to a stop, but it feels as though there is no vacuum assist. Pumping the brake did not help. The pavement was not slick. The brakes appear to work normally at other times.
Brakes fail to work properly. When approaching a stop sign and applying the brakes to slow to a stop, the brakes fail to engage properly so it's like you're floating uncontrollably while approaching the intersection and it feels like you will not be able to stop in time then all of a sudden it will stop, causing everyone and everything within the vehicle to lurch (or fly) forward. In cold weather, when applying the brakes to slow to a stop, the brakes shudder and fail to engage causing one to lose control of the vehicle briefly I. E. Can't brake, can't steer, can't stop even though there's no ice. I have had these problems periodically since purchasing the vehicle in 2005. I thought it was something I was doing wrong until recently when I read about other people experiencing the same problems. I am concerned I will be unable to stop in time at some point causing an accident.
Vehicle was a 2005 Toyota Sienna van. Vehicle has always been serviced by Toyota dealers. On 8/29/09, I had rear brakes replaced by local Toyota dealer with 77,410 miles on the vehicle. 10 days later, on 9/8/09, my roommate was picking up children at school. Driving on a 4 lane road in town going 35-40mph. Two h. S. Students abruptly stopped in her lane. My roommate stated she applied brakes but could tell vehicle was not stopping or slowing. Ran into rear end of a Toyota tacoma p/u which in turn rear-ended a Honda crv. No injuries in any involved vehicle. However, due to the extent of damage, my Sienna van was a total loss. Airbags did deploy on impact. My roommate stated from the beginning that she had applied the brake to the floor and the van did not brake or slow down. There were no braking/skid marks on the pavement at area of accident. Either the brake system totally failed or there was faulty work done during brake replacement 10 days earlier.

I consumer owns a Sienna ce 2005. Bought it at Toyota of orange on March 4,2005. Van had a oil change service on August 13,05. Although my van has low mileage, about 1, 355 miles after oil change. Went shopping at ralph supermarket in front of toyotya dealer. When were about to go home suddenly brakes did not work. Luckily van was still in parking lot of ralph supermarket. Imagine that if this happened on the street consumer and children could get hurt or killed. Then consumer carefully back to dealer and left van for service. It's about 7:30 pm - 08/13/05. Currently, van was still in service dept for waitting for part. Already reported brake problem to the Toyota manufacturer. Wondered why system didn't show the brake failure? w van had brake problem whlie it was 5 months old and still had low mileage? after fixing the brake problem is it safe to drive that van? wished did not have that serious problem again. That's all was consumer's concerns. Thank you very much for listening. Tu le. 714-542-4782. P. S: idon't know exact mechanical term to describe the brake problem at the bottom of this complaint. Only know van has no brakes at that incident.
