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.

Rear brakes, both, pads completely worn away or separated from backing plate. The vehicle has only 22000 miles on it. In my type of driving, brakes normally last at least 40,000 miles. Front brakes appear to be ok, wearing normally.
