WE HAVE OWNED THIS 2002 TOYOTA SIENNA SINCE 2002. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS SQUEALED WHEN STOPPING GRADUALLY, AND THE DEALER SAID THAT SIENNA BRAKES ALL SQUEAL. THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY A FEW INSTANCES OVER THE PREVIOUS 9 YEARS WHEN THE ABS HAS ACTIVATED AND I HAD ALWAYS FELT THAT THE ABS ON THIS WAS MUCH SUPERIOR TO THE MAZDA PROTEGE THAT WE OWNED. HOWEVER IN THE PAST MONTH OR TWO, THE ABS ACTIVATED ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES, ON SLIGHTLY RAPID STOPS, UNDER DRY DRIVING CONDITIONS. YESTERDAY EVENIN

I HAD A 2002 TOYOTA SIENNA XLE VAN WITH 106,000 MILES ON IT. IN MARCH 2009 MY SON WAS HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED. IT SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE FRONT AND REAR DAMAGE. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I AM CONCERNED THAT FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN OLDER CARS. I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE IT HAD FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS, STABILITY CONTROL AND AN EXCELLENT SAFETY RATING. THE CAR WAS EXPERTLY AND CONSTANTLY MAINTAINED YET THE AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK WHEN NEEDED. *TR
