problem #1

Jan 242007

Sienna 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,100 miles
Brakes: Since I bought my car in March of 2006 not even a year old yet, I have had to take my 2006 Toyota Sienna in every 7-8 thousand miles because the brakes have worn down. The first time it went in at 9900 miles and they replaced my brakes and put new rotors on. The second time they put new brakes on and machined my rotors this was done at 18,100 miles and now its at 27,100 miles and my brakes are shot again and the dealer knowing that this is my third time in for same problem told me now all of a sudden that its my fault and the way I drive the van, and they wanted me to pay this time for the repairs. They made their diagnosis only by taking off the tires, they never took off the front brakes to inspect them and yet they had nerve to notate that all pads were wearing evenly, . so I drove home and a licensed tech changed my brakes for lesser price and this tech noted that all pads on front wore unevenly and that my rotors were fine where as the dealer wanted me to buy new rotors because they said they were ruined. The tech that fixed my car kept the same rotors and just put new brakes on for half the cost the dealer wanted me to pay. Yet this dealer in hemet California at gosch auto group would not replace my brakes the ones they put on last time 7 thousand miles before this time unless I paid for them. There is obviously something wrong with the brake line system which is causing them to go out every 7-8 thousand miles. This is a safety issue and me and my 4 kids could get seriously injured should this brake problem continue maybe I might not be so lucky and my brakes will fail. These brakes suck and so does this car as my husband said I should have gone with a Chevy.
