  1. Problems, Maintenance, and Repair (Gen 2)
    Hi all, This is a tricky one. A couple of months ago, we started noticing that the brake pedal needs to be pumped once or twice to get a good braking performance. Also, if continuing to push the pedal, it keeps falling all the way to the floor. Here's what I tried so far: 1) I bled the...
  2. Problems, Maintenance, and Repair (Gen 1)
    Greetings to all, I have noticed this issue with my Sienna 2000 minivan. The car has about 242K Km on the odometer. If the car is turned off and I pumped on the brake pedal three or more times, the pedal becomes very firm and does not sink more than 30% of the full travel distance. However, if...

    Just had both rear wheel cylinders replaced on 18 Dec but yesterday (29 Dec) my emergency brake light came on and my brakes went "soft" although I could still stop. My question is: IF my 1998 Sienna has this modern "fail-safe" dual circuit braking system, can I slowly drive it to my garage a few...

    Anyone have the problem where the park brake pedal will not stay down? If I hold the pedal down with my foot, the car won't roll so the brakes seem to be engaging, but the pedal does not stay down, so they get released right away, like the ratchet mechanism does not work.

    Hi! I'm new so tell me if I'm doing something bad. So my problem is while bleeding my brakes I forgot about toping off the brake fluid reservoir and refilled after I had noticed. Therefore the brakes got worse, but the car was very much drivable. Recently while driving off to work in the...

    Hi, i recently purchased a 2008 Sienna XLE with ~105k and my wife and I love it. However, there are few issues that I'm experiencing that I dont think its normal and I would like to get to the bottom of this. 1. When I'm in cruise control doing 60mph and disengage the CC the rpms will drop...

    2011 vehicle Seems to need a lot of brake pedal pressure to deactivate the cruise control. Anyone else experience this and if so, is there a DIY adjustment?
  10. Problems & Issues
    2006 LE Toyota Sienna. Recently i have been feeling that the accelerator is hard to depress or a bit stiff. it still works fine and i get the acceleration i need and when i want it. I did not encounter it to be sticky as the other recalls had. However, even during city driving i find my right...

    Our 2006 LE has developed an annoying squeak in the brake pedal linkage. The noise occurs when braking force is released. Have others had this same noise? I imagine that lubricating such connections might be considered a normal maintenance task. If so, what type of lube would be effective...

    Hi All, My 2005 Sienna vibrates quite a bit when the gas pedal is pressed, and it is quiet when the gas pedal is left off. The vibration is quite noticeable when speed is above 35mph. All tires are new and balanced. When braking to slow down, it does not vibrate. Any sharing of similar...

    I have an 2012 Toyota Sienna, and I've noticed lately that when I try engage (press down on the e-brake pedal) the e-brake, the pedal tends to come back up again. It doesn't seem to lock itself, and I've noticing it more recently. Lets say out of 10 times, 5/10 the pedal will come back up the...

    Hi all, I just purchased my TCUV. unfortunately there are issues not discovered before taking possession. Took it to the dealer for inspection but they couldn't duplicate. When backing up straight, the front end makes a brief, about 2 seconds, binding noise then the brake pedal does a mild "pop"...

    Just picked up an SE over the weekend. Only complaint so far is a noise coming from the brake pedal. When I take my foot off the pedal, there is a noticeable clunking sound. There seems to be a lot of play in the pedal's pivot bushing which seems to be where the sound is coming from. Am I just...
