WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STATIONARY AND TURNED OFF FOR ANY GIVEN LENGTH OF TIME IN WEATHER THAT IS BELOW FREEZING AND THEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS THEN TURNED ON, ABS, VSC, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND NONE OF THEIR CORRESPONDING FUNCTIONS ARE OPERABLE. TIRES GO INTO FULL LOCK UP SKID WITHOUT ABS AND THERE IS NO VSC OR TRACTION CONTROL. THE PROBLEM WILL NOT CEASE UNTIL THE PART CAUSING THE PROBLEM HAS REACHED A TEMPERATURE OF ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE PROBLEM MAY CEASE WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN STATIONARY, BUT THE CONSISTENT POINT AT WHICH IT IS REMEDIED IS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

SINCE OBTAINING THE VEHICLE IN 2009 BRAND NEW, UPON BREAKING GRADUALLY, IT SURGES FORWARD SLIGHTLY WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT SHOULD SLOW DOWN. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO DENIED ANY SUCH INCONSISTENCIES. ALSO, THERE HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL ISSUES FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS WHEN TURNING ON THE RADIO; AFTER PUSHING ANY BUTTON AT ANY TIME, IT WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE THE DISPLAY TO NONSENSE CHARACTERS OR BECOME BLANK.

BRAKES ARE VERY SPUNGY AND DO NOT SEEM TO INGAGE. BRAKES WILL FILL LIKE THEY ARE STARTING TO WORK AND THEN RELEASE AND YOU MUST PUSH BRAKES DOWN FURTHER BEFORE THEY WILL START BRAKING. VERY SLOW BRAKING RESPONSE TIME. HAD THE BRAKES BLEED TWICE AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM SO THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND THE CAR BRAKING DID NOT CHANGE AT ALL. MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO SLOW BRAKING RESPONSE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET NAMED HAMNER THIS AFTERNOON ON A WARM DAY IN THE CITY OF NORCO WITH CLEAR SKIES TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH MY 2010 COROLLA DID NOT STOP AT A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 15 FEET WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THAT CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WHICH FELT LIKE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WHERE THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE BUT RATHER MADE A PULSATING MOVEMENT AGAINST MY ROTORS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO KEEP MOVING AND INEVITABLY I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT NUMEROUS DEALERS IN THE PAST YEARS AND I WAS GIVEN NO SOLUTIONS. THE EXPLANATION AFTER SHOWING THE TECHNICIANS WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. THIS BRAKE ISSUE CAUSED ME TO NOT HAVE BRAKING SYSTEM POWER TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP PRIOR TO THE COLLISION TODAY. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA IS LIABLE FOR THE FAILURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE DAMAGE CREATED TODAY TO NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE BUT ALSO TO THE VEHICLE TO WHICH THIS ACCIDENT TODAY INVOLVED INCLUDING ANY KNOWN OR UNKNOWN INJURIES INCURRED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

RE: I HAVEN'T FOLLOWED UP ON RCMN-10V017-5275 AS I HADN'T NOTICED A PROBLEM LIVING IN AN AREA WITH LEVEL STREETS. HOWEVER, WHEN TRYING TO PARK OR LEAVE A PARKING SPACE ON AN INCLINE OR DECLINE IT IS A PROBLEM. WHEN MOVING IN OR OUT OF A PARKING, I NOTICED THAT MY GAS PEDAL IS VERY SENSITIVE. IT LURCHES MY CAR QUICKLY FORWARD. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MY PARKING TECHNIQUE. SOMEONE ELSE FAMILIAR WITH PARKING ON THESE STREETS IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR'S ACCELERATION. IS THIS ISSUE RELATED TO NEEDING A REMEDY TO THE ABOVE RECALL NOTICE. IF YES, CAN I GET THIS FIXED FOR FREE EVEN THOUGH MY NOTICE HAS EXPIRED? WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST.

DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE ON A NORMAL SURFACE STREET DURING MORNING COMMUTE THROUGH CITY STREETS FOLLOWING TRAFFIC AT SPEEDS NOT EXCEEDING 35 MPH THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO HAVE ACCELERATED (SPED UP) DURING THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE STRUCK WAS NOT VISIBLE DUE TO THE SLOW SPEED, BUT IT DID CAUSE MINOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. DURING THE EVENT THE DRIVER PERCEIVED ACCELERATION AT THE TIME OF THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES AND THE SOUND ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANTI-LOCK FEATURES BEING ENGAGED. AT THE END OF THE INCIDENT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE THE REACTION OF THE VEHICLE WAS OPPOSITE OF THE DRIVER COMMAND. THE VEHICLE IS PART OF THE TOYOTA SMART STOP COMPANY RECALL, BUT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NOT DONE SINCE IT IS CONSIDERED OPTIONAL FOR THE OWNER TO DO. BASED ON THE REASONS FOR THE RECALL IT IS CONCERNING THAT THE CONDITION IT IS ADDRESSING MAY HAVE OCCURRED. BECAUSE THIS REPORT IS BASED ON DRIVER PERCEPTION I ONLY REQUEST THAT THE SMART STOP RECALL BE ADDRESSED AND POSSIBLY MANDATED TO ENSURE THAT THE ISSUE IS FROM THE SOFTWARE THAT OWNERS WILL TAKE THE TIME TO HAVE IT ACCOMPLISHED.

LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS TO MY RIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO VEER OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, OR ELSE WE WOULD OF BEEN IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DEAD. AS EXPECTED, MY FIANC IS EXTREMELY SHOOKEN UP BY WHAT HAPPENED.

MY LT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS I STOPPED TO GLANCE AT MY BLIND SPOT ON MY RT SIDE SO I CAN TAKE HWY 50 TOWARD LAKE TAHOE, WHEN I TURNED MY HEAD TO THE FRONT, I NOTICED MY CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD ON IT'S OWN, SO I PRESSED THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY DOWN AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, I FELT THE BRAKE STUCKED TO THE FLOOR AND THE ONLY REASON THE CAR STOPPED IS BECAUSE I WAS ON BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND MY CAR HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME.

WHILE DRIVING ON ROUTE 30 EAST IN PA, I EXPERIENCED A SCENARIO WHERE I WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND PRESSED THE BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT IT'S SPEED AND SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS OF THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THE CAR. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT SLOWING THE CAR ENOUGH. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND GRASS BEYOND THAT IN ORDER TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN ENOUGH TO LET OTHER CARS PASS SO I COULD GO INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE NEXT BUSINESS I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER DRIVING 7 MILES AND LOOKING FOR ERROR CODES, REPORTED THAT THEY "COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE". MY CAR ALREADY HAD ALL THE FIXES FOR THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR DONE IN DECEMBER 2013. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE IF THE REPORTED FIXES DO NOT WORK, THEN THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS/FATALITIES YET TO COME. I NEVER HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BEFORE. *TR

BRAKES MAKE A RAPID THUMPING SOUND AND ARE INEFFECTIVE WHEN APPLIED AT THE TIME THE CAR IS DRIVING OVER BUMPS, HOLES, OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE ROAD SURFACE HAS TO BE COMPLETELY SMOOTH FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS CAUSE FOR A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. *TR

MY CAR THEN HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US WHICH IN TURN CAUSE A CHAIN REACTION FOR THE OTHER 3 VEHICLES INVOLVED. IF MY BRAKES WOULD NOT HAVE FAILED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR IS NOW A "TOTAL LOSS" AND I AM OUT OF A VEHICLE.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH. MY EXIT WAS COMING UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE SO I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER THE BRAKE STUCK AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN, IT KEPT GOING. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND USUALLY IF I BRAKE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING IT OFF IT SLOWS DOWN, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SO I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR KEPT GOING. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE, BUT THAT MADE THE CAR ACCELERATE EVEN MORE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE PEDAL WASN'T STUCK, IT WASN'T, BUT I KNEW THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ACCELERATING WHEN I WAS HITTING THE BRAKE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I WAS GOING OVER 110MPH. I SPED AT THIS SPEED FOR QUITE A WAYS MAYBE 3/4 OF A MILE. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AND HAD MY PHONE IN MY HAD TO CALL 911. I KEPT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO (THIS OF COURSE MADE ME GO FASTER AND FASTER). THE BRAKE WOULDN'T GO DOWN THOUGH. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IT WAS LIKE STUCK? FINALLY I HEARD MY ACCELERATE POP. AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. *TR

ON MONDAY JULY 29,2013 WHILE I WAS SET ON 70 MPH CRUISE CONTROL, MY TOYOTA COROLLA SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST IT MADE THE CAR GO ,BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN ANYTHING GOING THAT FAST. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE GRASS MEDIAN TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP MY CAR. WE STILL FLEW DOWN THE GRASS MEDIAN LIKE A SPEED BOAT HITTING WAVES, WE WERE BOUNCING, THE CAR WAS BOUNCING, I HAD SEVERE CRAMPS AND STABBING ACROSS MY LOWER KIDNEY AREA WHEN WE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I HAD TO HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE ETERNITY. BEFORE IT FINALLY STOPPED. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT IN GREAT DETAIL TO TOYOTA CORPORATE AND MY CASE WAS #1307291802.(THIS CASE # IS NO LONGER VALID) I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME IF I FELT SAFE, I COULD TAKE IT TO MY DEALER IN D.M.,IOWA WHERE I LEASED THE CAR IN 2010, OR IF I FELT UNSAFE, I COULD TAKE IT TO ADAMS TOYOTA IN LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI. THEN, MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW CALLED ADAMS ON MY BEHALF AND THEY GAVE HER AN ENTIRELY NEW CASE NUMBER BECAUSE THE FIRST REP WHO TOOK THE REPORT DID NOT UNDERSTAND THERE WAS DAMAGE .MY NEW CASE # IS 1308011967. I FELT I NEVER WANT TO BE IN THAT COROLLA AGAIN, SO I DID TAKE IT TO ADAMS AND THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A SCION RENTAL TO GET BACK TO HOME AND WORK IN IOWA. TOYOTA HAS INSPECTED THE CAR AND HAS UP TO 30 DAYS TO GIVE ME THEIR REPORT. I AM TO RECEIVE A COPY OF THE DATA IMAGING EXTRACTED FROM THE BLACK BOX ALSO.

WHEN BRAKING ENGINE SPEEDS UP, HAVING THE IMPRESSION OF LOSS OF CONTROL. THE CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED IF MY FOOT IS RESTING ON THE EXTREME RIGHT EDGE OF THE BRAKE PAD AND THEN APPLYING THE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. WHEN BRAKING, MY SHOE COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSING IT SLIGHTLY, SPEEDING UP THE ENGINE. THE DRIVER'S IMMEDIATE REACTION IS TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, EXACERBATING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS EASILY SOLVED BY INCREASING THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR SIMPLY BY CHANGING THE THICKNESS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL PAD. I HAVE TESTED MY TOYOTA AVALON 1998 FOR THIS CONDITION AND FIND THAT THERE IS NO SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THAT VEHICLE. *TR

ANY TIME YOU GO OVER ANY BUMP OR HIT ANY POTHOLE, THE BRAKES BECOME VERY SPONGY FEELING. WHEN YOU PUSH THE BREAKS, THEY FEEL VERY BUMPY (ALMOST LIKE THERE ARE ROCKS IN BETWEEN THE DRUM AND THE PADS AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. SOMETIMES IT EVEN ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP AT ALL. AS SOON AS YOU LEFT OFF OF THEM AND REAPPLY THEM, IT IS FINE. IT ONLY HAPPENS IF YOU GO OVER SOMETHING THAT IS BUMPY THAT CAUSES ANY KIND OF JOLT TO THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS STILL DOING IT. *TR
