SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DRUM:SHOES/LININGS
I PURCHASED A TOYOTA SIENNA NEW IN 4/2000. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAK EVERY TIME I BRAKED. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME COUNTLESS SIENNA'S FROM 1998-2003 HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. TOYOTA TRIED A FIX THAT WORKED 8 MONTHS. IT IS A SHAME THAT YOU PAY $30,000 FOR A VEHICLE AND THE CO. WILL NOT STAND BEHIND IT. *AK

EQUIPMENT
THE DESIGN OF THE 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA DOESN'T PERMIT ADEQUATE GROUND CLEARANCE WHEN A TRAILER HITCH IS INSTALLED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS CONNECTING ANY TRAILER TO THE HITCH WILL RESULT IN LOST OF PROPER SUSPENSION CLEARANCE AND POTENTIAL LOST OF STEERING CONTROL. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION TO INCREASE GROUND CLEARANCE WHEN THERE IS A LOAD ON THE TRAILER HITCH. *JB

I BACKED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS A TRASH CAN IN THE WAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY, SO I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND HOPPED OUT TO MOVE THE CAN. I TURNED TO GET BACK IN THE CAR AND FOUND IT MOVING FORWARD UP THE DRIVEWAY. I CHASED THE CAR UP THE DRIVEWAY. IT RAN OVER A JOGGERBUGGY AND STRUCK A RETAINING WALL BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO IT AND STOP IT.
