avalon2000 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi all, I just purchased a used Sienna 04. It is a LE model and has disk brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. To me, the brake peddle feels too soft. I have to push 0.5-1 inch(I think) before the brakes start to catch. Once it passes that 0.5-1 inch, it works fine. It takes a while to get used to. Once I drive it for a while, everything feels fine. It is almost like the disks are rusty, or the system needs bleeding or something. I am also driving a 2000 Avalon with new rotors and pads replaced last year by myself. The Avalon brakes feel so much harder and responsive. I have been driving Toyotas for years. Neither my Avalon, Camry, Corolla feels like the Sienna. So I took it to a local Toyota dealer. The tech said it felt ok. And they further told me the newer the models were, the softer the brakes would feel. I did test drive a 06 Sienna for a little while. And sure, it felt soft to me. I was wondering if anyone else had the same feeling. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I haven't driven a Sienna in years, but I think I remember the brakes being a bit softer than in the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
