Antilock brake system (abs) warning light and parking brake light are on simultaneously, at all times once car is started. Issue was diagnosed as faulty abs control module requiring replacement. Vehicle has never been in an accident, and to the best of my knowledge, has never even required that the abs be utilized.
While driving in a residential area, going 5-10 mph, the anti-lock brake light came on flashing and beeping loudly. The steering system locked up and lasted 45 seconds to 1 minute. It would occur on a highway as well, no reason, ground completely dry. It would occur driving into the PA turnpike toll booth, rounding corners, going straight on 65 mph highway, (it occurred intermittently 60-70 times). The dealer (north hills Toyota 7401 mcknight road, pittsburgh, PA 15237 412-318-3000 were unable to fix it after I took it in twice. The last time, they disconnected the antilock brake system to fix the problem. I currently am driving with the system unconnected.
The contact owns 2006 Toyota Sienna. The contact stated that while driving at speeds of 50 mph down an off ramp, the brake warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The brakes then engaged without driver intent, rapidly decreasing the vehicle speed from 50 mph to 20 mph. The dealer advised there were no failures within the vehicle. There were no repairs made to the vehicle. The failure mileage was 26,000 and the current mileage was 27,000.
Couple things happened- right after we both Sienna, about 1 month later the brake light went on. It was late Sunday night, so the dealership was closed. We went there the following week. They couldn't find a problem, cause the light went off. When I left the dealer, the light went back on so I left my car thereand told them I'm not going to drive until they find a problem. I have 2 small kids and their safety is first. They fix it and said that some sensor unfortunately was damaged during the delivery and they replace it. Then I got problem with my power side door- will still be closing even if you try to stop it. Solution from the dealer- lubricate and that's it- it still happen from time to time. Next- front passenger and second row seat belts- lock during the trip. Dealer solution- they don't see the problem. Now about 2 months ago my accelerator got suck while driving for about 15 seconds. I did not made a big deal out of it, because I was sure it suppose to happen, but NW after hearing what going on with other Toyota models, I'm just not sure. The gas pedal did not got stuck to the carpet for sure- I would see it, it was like it got stuck at 70mph. . . I love my Sienna and husband drives corolla too and we both love Toyotas. I just think now it's not about love for the engine, it's about safety of our children. If necessary I have documents regarding the brake sensor replacement, seat belts complains, etc. I spoke with the dealer about the gas pedal and said to me that my model its not in the recall and it could be something else, but did not offer to check what could it be. . .
