Re: Brake Failure (ABS) in Toyota Sienna, Camry, Avalon
Posted by JMB on 5/15/08

I have a 1999 Toyota Sienna and my brakes had been making a
clunking noise for about a year. I had new pads put in and the
drums turned and the brakes still made the clunking noise
occasionally. I had the brakes reinspected...nothing. The
brakes went out on me on a freeway offramp going around a corner
at around 50 MPH. My foot went to the floor and I had almost no
braking ability at all. I was able to downshift to get the car
to slow down enough to pull over but it was very frightening. It
appears that my ABS computer decided that I was slipping and
turned off braking to the rear brakes. I ended up having to
replace the ABS computer/actuator. The brakes appear to be
working great now but I don't have confidence in my van any
longer.
