ABS Brake Antiblock System
I had the front brakes and rotors replaced a few weeks ago. This past weekend all 4 tires were replaced. When driving off the dealer after the tire replacement, I noticed the ABS and vsc lights were on. Turned back and took the minivan back to the dealer. Next day service mgr said according to the mechanic, the ABS actuator needs to be replaced. This is a $2500 part, plus labor.
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.

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 original brakes (front) were replaced in 2010. After that I started getting noise when the brakes were applied. Several visits I requested they replace the brake pads again. After a little time the noise returned. Performance toyota in fairfield, ohio could not repair the brakes to stop the noise. I then went to tire discounters in hamilton, ohio. Again after several visits the noise in the front brakes remained. I paid for service to the brakes. I paid for a lubricant to be placed on the brakes. Again noise returned. Again noise in rear brakes getting really bad now can?t hear the noise in the front anymore due to drown out by the rear. Picked up daughters/friends from school, explained sorry for the noise I have it checked out they say nothing wrong with them. Daughter says mom you think the sound is bad inside the van you should be outside when you drive up it is really bad. 10/18/2014 returned to performance toyota in fairfield. I explained the above about my brakes and the noise still present on my van. I asked service writer if there was a recall on a the brakes issue. She said no there was no recall. And I see you have had brake issues since 2010. Finally she stated you know we have had issues when the original factory brakes are replaced with ?after market brakes? There have been problems with noise on sienna?s/pathfinders you know larger vehicles, but not all of them just a few like yours. She stated due to cost they used after market brakes and only few have issues.
