general problems of the 2007 Toyota Sienna

In areas where there is snow and salt, the rear steel brake lines start to rust from snow and debris that accumulates and eventually the brake lines fail leaving you without brakes.

Abs brake antiblock system.

The slip indicator sends a false positive which causes the brakes to apply automatically when I go over 10 mph. The road is dry, weather clear and there is no poor conditions for drivingthe vehicle is unsafe because while I am driving it can come to an abrupt halt and the vehicle behind me could crash into me. The vehicle overrides my attempt to accelerate and I am subject to the �computer's decision to brake unnecessarily. I had a dealer look into this and they said it was the brakes. I have always been a loyal Toyota customer, but there are many complaints about this problem some of which are on youtube and Toyota seems to be unwilling to address this issue. Please help I need my vehicle and I need to be safe while driving.

The contact owned a 2007 Toyota Sienna. While driving 45 mph, the brake pedal was abruptly depressed and caused the contact to lose control of the vehicle. As a result, the contact's vehicle skid and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and was deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 149,000.

I opened the rear door and it would not shut. I took it to a mechanic that sent me to a body shop who referred me to the dealer. The center assembly hinge needs to be replaced. The door closed but had a crack and today when made a left turn the door opened by itself. Imagine if a child was in the back seat!!!.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Sienna. While the vehicle was parked on a slight incline without the key in the ignition, the contact heard an abnormal noise. The vehicle rolled down a hill and crashed into a house. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

My wife was pulling into a parking spot and went to hit the brakes and the vehicle and the brakes did not respond. She said that she attempted to hit the brakes again and they did not respond. The vehicle collided with a tree. Contacted Toyota and had the vehicle inspected. They said it was fine and there was nothing they could do. I told them that this failure had left my wife with zero confidence in the vehicle and asked for help or suggestions with what to do with the vehicle. They said they had no suggestion. A passed inspection is all they needed to wash their hands of the situation. I sold the car to a local dealer. I wish there was a safer alternative. Written word cannot convey the anger I felt with Toyota, nor the remorse with the thought that a family may have the same issue with the vehicle in the future. Bad situation all around.

Toyota Sienna 2007 having brake problems in 2008 I have brake problems so I take it to dealer they changed all brake parts now I have same problem pls help me in this.

I was parked in the parking lot of my children's school. The car next to me needed to back out so I was moving my car forward a little to get out of their way. When I put the car in drive it started accelerating but my foot was on the brake. I turned the wheel to miss the block wall in front of me. The car had jumped the curb and was up in the landscape area. It was continuing to accelerate and I was pumping the brake and trying to not hit anything. I was trying to put it in neutral so that it would stop but by then the car was down in the other side of the parking lot and headed toward a three foot cliff. My youngest son was in the car and not buckled into his seat so I was panicking trying to get it to stop. I put it into park and it make a weird rattle noise and then stopped very suddenly. I looked down at my feet immediately to make sure that I was not accidentally pressing the gas but my foot was still on the brake. I was late to pick my children up from school thankfully, because 10 minutes earlier the parking lot would have been full of children. I towed my car into Toyota and they are looking at it but said that my vehicle is not part of the recall.

I am not happy with the brakes on my 2007 Toyota Sienna at all. On a dry surface, absolutely no problems. But on snowy roads or wet surfaces, they are not functioning properly and at couple of occasions I was scared to death when the vehicle was not stopping. If I am coming from a dry road and try to stop at an intersection (even at 30-40 miles/hr), where the surface is wet, I think the abs comes into action. Then it makes some loud, rattling noise(the noise is similar to when a big truck tire rolls over a sheet of rock, the rock breaking into multiple pieces) and the car won't stop immediately. It takes a couple of seconds more to stop. On one occasion, I almost ran into the car infront of me. On another occasion, I was driving on a snowy road and was going at 30 mph in a 45mph zone and the traffic light turned yellow. I tried to stop but the car didn't stop until it went to the middle of the intersection. Things I noticed is when I am going at 65 mph, I don't see any problems during normal braking. Also the workaround is as soon as you realize you have to stop, pumping the break repeatedly works.

2007 Toyota Sienna van was in nate wade Subaru. . One of our stock units. We were servicing this vehicle for sale. We replaced brakes front and rear. The brakes had been bled. I started the vehicle put my foot on the brake to shift into reverse. When vehicle hit reverse the engine idle idled up higher than a normal high idle. The brake pedal became ineffective. . I was pumping the pedal to try to get a pedal and the idle stayed up high. I had an accident in the dealership with vehicle due to the high idle. It backed across our shop and slammed into a hoist in the shop. It caused major damage to both the vehicle and to the shop. It cost me $500. 00 towards a deductible and it cost the dealership $6500. 00 to repair the vehicle and $1700. 00 to repair the damage to the hoist. I realize that this vehicle is not on the list of affected vehicles, however it exhibited the same condition as those models be recalled.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Sienna which was modified for disabled persons. While driving at an unknown speed, the driver applied the brakes and the vehicle suddenly accelerated and crashed into another vehicle. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The driver was able to safely drive the vehicle home without the failure reoccurring. The contact stated that the brakes on the vehicle had always needed heavy pressure to brake properly. The manufacturer advised the contact to have the vehicle towed to an authorized dealership. The brakes were repaired but the sudden acceleration problem was not addressed. The failure has not occurred since the vehicle was returned to the contact. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000. The current mileage was approximately 20,000. The VIN was unavailable.

My 2007 Toyota Sienna's brakes makes noise and at times it takes a few more seconds before it fully responses to me. Both when the car comes to a stop position the brakes makes noise and when from stop position goes to drive position; the brakes make noise. At times it is very irresponsive to when I brake. Also the car accelerates on turns and when backing up. I have taken my car to a Toyota dealership several times before the recalls and they have said they are not sure where the noise comes from. They have replaced couple of parts but I still hear the noise.

I was parked on a hill. When I tapped the accelerator, the car took off at a rapid acceleration. I tried to brake to slow the car down. . . My brakes wouldn't work. . . My steering wheel started to lock. I finally forced the car into park put on the er brake and steered the car up a hill. The car jumped a curb and was headed for a house when it came to a stop. I was only a few feet from the front door. My car is a Toyota Sienna. The company and our local dealership told me that my car was not involved in the recall. My husband's Toyota avalon was and the gas pedal was adjusted. He had to wait a few weeks for the replacement. . . And was not given a loaner car.
