2005 toyota sienna. Consumer writes in regards to brake failure. *smd the consumer stated several weeks ago, he was turning around in the driveway, and when he pressed down with his right foot, the engine roared and the vehicle jumped forward until he applied more pressure to the brake pedal, at which point the vehicle stopped. The consumer realized the brake pedal could be depressed easily below the level of the gas pedal, hence the roar and surge. The consumer was informed brake pedals were no longer adjustable and when the mechanic checked the vehicle, the brake master cylinder was failing and accounted for the brakes not functioning properly at times.

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.

Slowing as I approached a four-way stop, my brakes failed to stop. I heard a loud noise (my husband, a mechanical engineer says it is the anti-lock brakes) and the brakes don't work. On the fourth braking attempt they worked. This is the third time this has happened. Each time was at a slow speed, after a rain, but not raining.

I have a 2005 toyota sienna van that has intermittent brake failure. It normally occurs when the car is cold. I have run several red lights with the brake pedal pressed completely to the floor and my wife has driven through two yards. The brakes function normally on the first several applications but on the third or fourth application they will occasionally fail. My dealership has replaced the master cylinder and done "diagnostics" at least 8 different times but consistently find nothing. They did tell me that other vehicles were experiencing the same sorts of problem and it had something to do with a new valve timing on the 2005 model and the vacuum was insufficient until the car was warm and that I should idle for 5 minutes before driving. This seems to work more consistently but I still have episodes of poor braking. We have been attempting to have this resolved for almost 18 months.

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*ak.
