1998 Toyota Sienna SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS FAILED. NLM

BRAKE DRUM WARPED. *YC

LOUD FRONT BRAKE 'GRINDING' NOISE WHEN BRAKING HARD OR MODERATELY HARD FROM 15-20 MPH DOWN TO A FULL STOP. BEGAN AT 5,000 MILES OR SO AND DOES NOT SEEM TO EFFECT THE ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER WHO INDICATES THERE IS A FIX IN THE FORM OF NEW BRAKE PAD MATERIAL BUT THAT IT'S NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE VISUAL INSPECTION DID NOT REVELA ANYTHING UNUSUAL. I'VE CONTACED THE MANUFACTURER AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB# BR006-98) THAT I COULDN'T FIND ON THIS WEB SITE. I DON;T THINK THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE BUT I IMPATIENTLY AWAIT THE NEW PARTS.

WHILE DRIVING AT NO SET SPEED AND WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY MAKE LOUD SOUNDS, AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. CAR WILL KEEP GOING THROUGH LIGHTS AND STOP. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, DEALER UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE PUTTING ON BRAKES HEARS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO WARNING. *AK

BRAKE MAKE CONTINUAL NOISE.

EXTREMELY LOUD GROANING AND GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING IN REVERSE EVERYTIME

WHENEVER THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THEY MAKE A LOT OF LOUD NOISES. AT DEALERSHIP, THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE CHANGED. PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT (REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE). *AK
