2006 Toyota Sienna

Every time I go around a curve, the ABS TRC and vehicle beeps like I'm sliding. It happens on every curve. Its very dangerous. I have unplugged the sensor under the front passenger seat and all problems go away. i have replaced this part and it still has not fixed the problem. with part unplugged i have no ABS TRC Airbags none of the safety equipment is working while unplugged, but is safer than having my brakes slammed in every curve.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATE 25-30 MPH ON A DRY, LEVEL STREET. A CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I RELEASED AND REAPPLIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN NO RESPONSE. I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR OR ANOTHER COLLISION. AFTER SWERVING AND REAPPLYING THE BRAKES A 3RD OR 4TH TIME I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP. MY KIDS AND I WERE SEVERELY SHAKEN, BUT NOT INJURED. WE DECIDED THIS PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. WE REPLACED IT AND HAVE HAD 3 MORE INCIDENTS SINCE REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER. 1 WAS IN REVERSE LEAVING MY DRIVE WAY. I WOUND UP HITTING AND EMBANKMENT ACROSS THE STREET TO STOP ME. THIS WAS A SLIGHT DOWN HILL ROLL IN REVERSE. I WENT FROM PARKED TO OUT OF CONTROL. I NEVER TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND HIT THE BRAKE MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVEN TRIED SHIFTING BACK INTO PARK (KNOWING THAT'S BAD FOR THE TRANSMISSION), NOTHING WORKED. AFTER GETTING STOPPED AND PULLING FORWARD EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND WE WERE APPROACHING A TURN AND HAD TO MERGE IN TO PERPENDICULAR TRAFFIC. APPROX SPEED 25-35 MPH. THE BRAKES AGAIN COMPLETELY FAILED AND WE HAD TO SWERVE THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN TO A FREE LANE OF TRAFFIC TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION WITH THE CARS INFRONT OF US. WE ORDERED ANOTHER MASTER CYLINDER AND WERE PREPARING TO INSTALL IT. TODAY THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AT A STOP SIGN (APPROX SPEED 5-10 MPH) I HAD BEEN STOPPED AND STARTED TO EASE IN TO THE MAIN ROAD WHEN I SAW A CAR COMING FROM THE LEFT. *TR

AS I WAS PROCEEDING DOWNHILL TOWARDS A 4-WAY STOP INTERSECTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL; I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPEN. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. A CAR WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME AT THE INTERSECTION, SO I WENT TO THE LEFT OF THE CAR TO AVOID REAR ENDING HIM. I CONTINUED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION TOWARD THE CAR ACROSS THE STREET HOPING TO BE ABLE TO FIT BETWEEN HIM AND A TELEPHONE POLE WITHOUT HITTING EITHER TO LAND IN A SNOW BANK. I MANAGED TO HIT HIS FRONT END ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HIS CAR MISSING THE TELEPHONE POLE AND LANDING IN THE SNOW ABOVE THE CURB. NOBODY WAS INJURED, BUT HIS CAR AND MINE WERE DAMAGED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT, LEVEL DRY ROAD WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 58MPH. SUDDENLY CAR BEGAN TO DOWNSHIFT. ASSUMING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM I DISENGAGED CRUISE CONTROL AND CAR ALMOST CAME TO A STOP. I PUSHED GAS PEDAL AND DROVE IN LOW GEAR TO NEAREST PULL-OFF. DISCOVERED LEFT FRONT BRAKE WAS SMOKING. AFTER THINGS COOLED OFF I DROVE CAR IN LOW GEAR ABOUT 6 MILES TO LOCAL SERVICE STATION. MECHANIC FOUND ALL BRAKES LOCKED AND REMOVED ALL WHEELS. HE INSPECTED ALL ROTORS, CALIPERS BRAKE LINES, ETC AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. (I HAD NEW BRAKES INSTALLED AT DEALERSHIP ABOUT 4 MONTHS EARLIER.) WHEN MECHANIC MANIPULATED LEFT FRONT CALIPER ALL BRAKES DISENGAGED. MECHANIC FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS NORMAL. I'VE DRIVEN CAR ABOUT 500 MILES SINCE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH NO PROBLEMS. I DON'T USE CRUISE CONTROL OFTEN - AND HAVEN'T USED IT SINCE PROBLEM OCCURRED. I'M WONDERING IF PROBLEM IS WITH CRUISE CONTROL RATHER THAN BRAKES?? THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER IF IT HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS! *TR

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER STATES OSCILLATION PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS DRIVING DOWN FROM THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN AND HE APPLIED THE BRAKES TO LIMIT HIS SPEED. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WENT INTO A VIOLENT OSCILLATION AND HE WAS BARELY ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. HE STOPPED BRAKING AND SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR. HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE OSCILLATION RETURNED. WHEN HE REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, THE OSCILLATION WENT AWAY. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. UPON, INSPECTION THE DEALER STATED THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS, BUT THEY COULD NOT VERIFY IT. ON DECEMBER 11, 2009 THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING NORTH DOWN A GRAPEVINE INCLINE, WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL STARTED TO OSCILLATE. THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY DOWN SHIFTED AS HE WAS MUCH MORE PREPARED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 13, 2010 WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT SECTION OF A HIGHWAY. HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND BOTH WHEELS STARTED TO OSCILLATE. *JB

I HAVE BRAKING FAILURE IN MY 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA LIMITED AWD VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANICS WHO HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND TOYOTA WILL NOT DISCLOSE THE RESOLUTION TO THIS COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING A $89.99 DIAGNOSTICS CHARGE. THE REPAIR IS REPORTEDLY $1,200 TO $2,000 TOFIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

COUPLE THINGS HAPPENED- RIGHT AFTER WE BOTH SIENNA, ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON. IT WAS LATE SUNDAY NIGHT, SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. WE WENT THERE THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, CAUSE THE LIGHT WENT OFF. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER, THE LIGHT WENT BACK ON SO I LEFT MY CAR THEREAND TOLD THEM I'M NOT GOING TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY FIND A PROBLEM. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS AND THEIR SAFETY IS FIRST. THEY FIX IT AND SAID THAT SOME SENSOR UNFORTUNATELY WAS DAMAGED DURING THE DELIVERY AND THEY REPLACE IT. THEN I GOT PROBLEM WITH MY POWER SIDE DOOR- WILL STILL BE CLOSING EVEN IF YOU TRY TO STOP IT. SOLUTION FROM THE DEALER- LUBRICATE AND THAT'S IT- IT STILL HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. NEXT- FRONT PASSENGER AND SECOND ROW SEAT BELTS- LOCK DURING THE TRIP. DEALER SOLUTION- THEY DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. NOW ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY ACCELERATOR GOT SUCK WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. I DID NOT MADE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT, BECAUSE I WAS SURE IT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN, BUT NW AFTER HEARING WHAT GOING ON WITH OTHER TOYOTA MODELS, I'M JUST NOT SURE. THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT GOT STUCK TO THE CARPET FOR SURE- I WOULD SEE IT, IT WAS LIKE IT GOT STUCK AT 70MPH... I LOVE MY SIENNA AND HUSBAND DRIVES COROLLA TOO AND WE BOTH LOVE TOYOTAS. I JUST THINK NOW IT'S NOT ABOUT LOVE FOR THE ENGINE, IT'S ABOUT SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. IF NECESSARY I HAVE DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE BRAKE SENSOR REPLACEMENT, SEAT BELTS COMPLAINS, ETC. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ABOUT THE GAS PEDAL AND SAID TO ME THAT MY MODEL ITS NOT IN THE RECALL AND IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE, BUT DID NOT OFFER TO CHECK WHAT COULD IT BE... *TR
