Re: Brake Failure (ABS) in Toyota Sienna, Camry, Avalon

Hi Everyone-I'm a new Totyota owner. I bought a Sienna'07
about 5 month ago. Just last weeks my brakes failed. That
was a scary experience. The fact that I am a disabled driver
makes it more troublesome to stop the van. When the PEDAL
WENT all the way to the FLOOR were really concerned and took
it to our local dealership. The dealership replaced the
Master Cylinder, but when I when I picked it up I didn't feel
any different so we took it back, and now the dealership says
the cylinder broke again. The strange thing is I drove it
home and parkled it because I didn't feel safe. I don't think
it should totally bust that fast.

Anyway, I just got off the phone with the dealership.
Apparently, I am the only Sienna owner that has trouble with
her breaks! My van only has ~4200 mi on it. Should this be
happening so soon? I am 2 weeks from earning a Master's
degree, and fear that I may be able to attend my final because
that van is how I am able to transport my wheelchair to and
from where I need to go. I can't go anywhere without my
whelchair? Has any of you had the same experience? Or, do
you know anyone that has. If you wouldn't mind sharing them
with me I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY INFO YOU CAN PROVIDE ME
with! I just would like to know I'm not crazy! The
dealership is making me feel like I am.

Thank you so much,
AV
