| Description of the problem | The brakes pads on my 2004 sienna had to be replaced at 15,000 miles. Was told by the service advisor he has seen siennas coming in at 10,000 miles for brake jobs. A toyota technician told me the reason for this was because toyota was using softer pads so the brakes can be quiterer. This is a very expensive job for something that should last into the 30,000 mi. Range. This is very dissapointing coming from toyota.*ak |
