| Description of the problem | I was traveling this past tuesday, may 1st, and i notice a slight noise from the inside of my van when i had reached my destination. It happened when i applied my brakes but when i roll down my window i hadn't noticed any noise from the outside of the van. I was alone and did get out and i hadn't noticed anything in or around the front left tire. I had to travel another 1 and a half back home and by this time my car was making a horrible noise. I had a mechanic look at the car and informed me that the rotor was messed up and the brakes where metal to metal. I only have 29,000 miles on my van and he told me that this shouldn't be doing this until its due to a defect such as a bad caliper or the brakes where getting hung up. I called toyota and they told me that they would correct this problem until i arrived and then they told me that this is normal for toyota sienna minivans. I am concerned that there is more to the problem because my brakes never squealed or squeaked and its only on the left side. |
