I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS DO THE DEALERSHIP DURING MULTIPLE 5000 MILE CHECK UPS ON MY BRAKE GRINDING. WHEN STOPPING ON UNEVEN SURFACES OR WET SURFACE MY BRAKES WILL PERIODICALLY MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHICH I CAN FEEL A VIBRATION UP THROUGH THE PEDAL THAT SHAKES MY LEG. PASSENGERS CAN FEEL AND HEAR THESE INCIDENCE AS WELL. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED AND THEREFORE THEY SEE NO PROBLEM. ON TODAY'S VISIT I HAVE REQUESTED A BRAKE SYSTEM CHECK WHICH I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WAS THE ABS WHEN PRESSING BRAKES HARD. HOWEVER THIS INCIDENT HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I AM COMING TO A SLOW STOP NOT WHEN DRASTICALLY PRESSING THE BRAKES. I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD SAY BUT THIS IS WHAT IT IS AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY DO ABOUT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO DECELERATE AS THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES SINCE THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN APRIL OF 2010 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EXPERIENCES WITH THE BRAKES WHEN STOPPING ON MULTIPLE SURFACE TYPES, INCLUDING WET ROAD, UNEVEN SURFACE AND UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING SOUND AND SEEM TO SKIP AS I PUSH DOWN, SLOWING MY BRAKING TIME AND MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. THE GRINDING WAS SO SEVERE THAT IT VIBRATED THOUGH MY LEG. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER I DID TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS COVERED AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IN ORDER TO REPAIR IT THEY WOULD NEED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. OF COURSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, DID A BRAKE INSPECTION AND SAID IT WAS ALL JUST FINE. SHORTLY AFTER THIS VISIT, THE BRAKES DID THE SAME GRINDING WHEN STOPPING AS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. I AM A CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER AND TREAT MY VEHICLE GENTLY AND THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO A BRAND NEW CAR. WE NEED MORE ATTENTION PLACED ON THIS PROBLEM AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED BEFORE THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASUALTIES. ALSO WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2010 COROLLA FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY EXCLUDED CERTAIN STATES THAT ARE IN PROXIMITY TO STATES WHERE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED. HOW CAN THEY BE SURE OTHER VEHICLES WEREN'T AFFECTED? *TR

PURCHASED THE CAR JAN. 2011, WITHIN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS, I HAD THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLYING ON UNEVEN SURFACE. IN ADDITION TO THE VIBRATION THERE IS A HESITATION IN BRAKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, MOSTLY ON UNEVEN SURFACES. LAST WEEK I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY FOR A DEER AND I REALLY NOTICED HOW LONG IT TOOK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE NOISE (ALMOST LIKING GRINDING) WAS VERY LOUD AND THE PEDAL VIBRATED. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASSURED ME THE BRAKES WERE FINE. I HAVE JUST MADE MY SECOND APPOINTMENT. HOW DO I ENSURE THEY FIX THIS TO PROPER SAFETY STANDARDS? *TR

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY FELT AN AWKWARDNESS WITH THE BRAKES. ANYTIME I BEGAN TO STOP & THE ROAD WAS LESS THAN PERFECT, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP & I SEEMED TO SLIDE TO A STOP. THE FEELING WAS ALMOST LIKE STOPPING ON GRAVEL OR HYDROPLANING, JUST NO CONTROL FELT. WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, I WAS TOLD THAT'S HOW THE NEW BRAKES ARE (I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED AN OLDER VEHICLE) & THE BRAKE INSPECTION FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE BEEN IN TWO MVAS PRIOR, ONCE I WAS REAR ENDED & THE OTHER TIME SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN & HIT ME. 10/12/11 I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE & WAS ALSO REAR ENDED IN THE PROOCESS. WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE SUDDENLY THAT DAY, THE CAR SLID INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM A VERY CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT WHEN SOMEONE REAR ENDS ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY THEIR FAULT. I HAVE SINCE PURCHASED ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER, AND BEING TOLD THE TOYOTA BRAKES WERE RIGHT, COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. 10/10/11 I HAD LAB WORK PERFORMED & WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING PREGNANT. THIS ACCIDENT TWO DAYS LATER, THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, EITHER. THE HOOD OF THE CAR CAME IN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON ME, THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THERE WERE TWO FAULTY TOYOTA PARTS THAT FAILED ME AND MY UNBORM CHILD THAT DAY-THE BRAKES AND THE AIRBAGS. I GET TO HAVE SURGERY 10/28/11 TO REMOVE THE NOW NONVIABLE CHILD FROM MY WOMB. I EQUATE THIS LOSS TO THE FAILURES ON TOYOTA'S PART. *TT

AT APPROXIMATELY 0600 ON THE ABOVE DATE I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT AND NEAR UNCONTROLLABLE MOMENTARY DISRUPTURE OF THE ABS/ESC SYSTEMS OF MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY, STEERING LOCKED AND ABS AND ESC CONTROL LIGHTS ON DASH LIT UP WHILE I WAS MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM IH37 SOUTH TO IH35 SOUTH IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BY LETTING OFF OF THE BRAKES AND THROTTLE THUS COASTING THROUGH THE LEFT HAND TURN AND BARELY MISSING THE RETAINING WALL. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE FIRST WAS ONLY DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF CAR. LOCAL DEALER MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL STATED "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR." DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MCCOLLUMS TOYOTA FIVE OTHER TIMES ALL WITH THE SAME "WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG" REPLY. COMPLAINTS OF SOFT BRAKE PEDAL BROUGHT A SIMILAR "THAT'S NORMAL" RETORT EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE FOUND TO HAVE WORN/GROVED APPROXIMATELY 1/8" DEEP PER SIDE (NOT REPORTED BY DEALER), NOT FROM METAL TO METAL CONTACT BUT JUST WEAR FROM PADS FRICTION MATERIAL. PADS STILL HAD 1/2" OF FRICTION MATERIAL ON EACH. REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AND PADS FROM AUTO ZONE MADE THINGS BETTER UNTIL NOW. REQUEST ABS/ESC SOFTWARE BE CHECKED ON ALL 2008 TO 2012 COROLLA/SCION TC MODELS ALONG WITH CHECK OF MATERIALS USED IN PADS AND THE ROTORS. OEM ROTORS TAKEN OFF CAR WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 15 JAN 2012. 36,000 MILES ON A SET OF ROTORS AND PADS ARE A LITTLE EXTREME WHEN I HAVE OVER 125,000 ON MY GM'S ROTORS AND 165,000 ON MY FORD'S ROTORS WITH PADS NEEDING REPLACEMENT AROUND 45 TO 55 K. *TR

LAST MONTH, IN JUNE, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND WAS NOT GOING FAST. I WAS APPROACHING A STEEP HILL AND WANTED TO BRAKE BUT I COULD NOT. IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR AND AVOID THE HILL, I CROSSED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET INTO SOMEONE'S LAWN IN ORDER TO GIVE THE CAR ENOUGH FRICTION TO STOP. I ENDED UP HITTING A SLOPE AND THE CAR STOPPED... BUT NOT FROM MY BRAKES. SINCE I WAS GOING VERY SLOW, NO ONE IN MY CAR WAS HURT. ONE OF THE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR TOLD ME TO TRY AGAIN. I DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE LOT AND THE BRAKES WORKED. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH AND TOYOTA RECENTLY SENT OUT A THIRD PARTY TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING ON MY DEALERSHIPS LOT. THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG BECAUSE I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME BEFORE I HIT THE SLOPE IN THE LAWN. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, THE ACTUAL COMPANY. *TR

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2009. IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUYING THE CAR, I STARTED NOTICING AN ABNORMAL TINGLING WHEN HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL COUPLED WITH A LOUD GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY AFTER I HIT A LITTLE POTHOLE AT MY CONDO. IT FEELS AND SOUNDS AS IF I WERE DOING SOMETHING WRONG BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS THE ABS BEING ACTIVATED AND THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I BRAKE AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE OR A BUMP OR ON A ROUGH TERRAIN, AND THAT THE GRINDING SOUND AND TINGLING BRAKE PEDAL ARE NORMAL. IT DOES NOT FEEL OR SOUND NORMAL AT ALL AND THE TINGLING PEDAL CAN MAKE A DRIVER AVOID HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAUSE IT FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, WHICH MAY LEAD TO A CRASH. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA WITH BRAKE ISSUES. WHENEVER I GO OVER A POTHOLE OR OTHER BUMP AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 25MPH), THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING 'METAL ON METAL' NOISE. IT FEELS KIND OF LIKE TINGLING UNDER YOUR FOOT... SIMILAR TO A PULSE. THE CAR 'JUMPS FORWARD' A SMALL BIT BEFORE IT SLOWS DOWN TO A STOP. I FIND THE 'JUMPING' ISSUE VERY UNSETTLING. IT IS LIKE THE CAR ACCELERATES SLIGHTLY EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE USING THE BRAKES AND TRYING TO SLOW. THE MAJOR ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR DOES NOT STOP--THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS DISENGAGED WHILE IT GRINDS AND PULSES. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED AND THEY TELL ME IT IS THE ABS AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I HAVE DRIVEN THE 2005 COROLLA MODEL, AS WELL AS OTHER CARS WITH ABS BRAKES, AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED BRAKE ISSUES LIKE THIS. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY 2010 COROLLA AND HONESTLY, MAY TRY TO TRADE IT IN EVEN THOUGH I'VE ONLY HAD IT A YEAR AND WOULD BE LOSING A LOT OF MONEY. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA 2010,I HAD IT SINCE JUNE 2010, . I WENT THROUGH A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT ON HW 1 CA @ 8:45 AM ON TUESDAY WHICH WAS A SUNNY, CLEAR , NOT FOGGY NOR RAINY DAY (WEATHER CONDITION WAS PERFECT),I WAS DRIVING ON 63 MPH (NORMAL SPEED IS 65) ON THE FAST LEFT LANE AND SUDDENLY I FELT THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS VEERING THE CAR INTO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION ACTING AS IF IT BELOW UP (BUT IT DIDN'T) AND MY CAR IS VEERING TO THE LEFT , MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND IS NOT RESPONDING AT ALL WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE THE CAR DIRECTIONTO THE RIGHT. THERE WAS NO WAY TO DRIVE THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED COMPLETELY TO RESPOND TO ANY ATTEMPT TO TURN IT TO THE RIGHT IN AN ATTEMPT TO GAIN CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT IN STRAIGHT LINE. BRAKES AS WELL WERE NOT RESPONDING. ALL ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR OR TURN IT TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID BUMPING THE RAILS AND KEEP IT STRAIGHT IN THE LANE FAILED. I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR & IT STARTED FISHTAILING IN THE FRONT. THE CAR DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT BUMPED INTO THE GUARDING RAIL, AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND IT TOOK THE CAR MORE THAN 20 FEED TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP BY IT SELF. I FAILED TO STOP IT.AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR CORRECTED ITS DIRECTION &WENT IN STRAIGHT LINE DIRECTION SCRUBBING AGAINST THE RAIL COMPLETELY DAMAGING THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR BEFORE IT STALL. THEN ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND CAR SOUNDS WENT ON AND THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR WAS NOT IN A DRIVABLE CONDITION SO I HAD TO TOW IT AWAY. I HAVE A WITNESS WHO DESCRIBED MY ACCIDENT SAYING THAT MY CAR KEPT SWERVING TO THE LEFT & WAS AMBIGUOUSLY UNCONTROLLED, HE WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK CARE OF ME AFTER THE CAR BUMPED THE RAIL. THIS ACCIDENT IS A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR OTHERS ON THE HW. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED ON MY WAY HOME AFTER I DROPPED OFF MY SON TO SCHOOL ,THE TWO CAR SEATS I HAD IN THE CAR WERE DAMAGED, THE CAR DAMAGE WAS ESTIMATED BY $10,000. I SUFFER FROM A SEVERE PAIN. *TR

PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA USED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH UNDER 5000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE THIRD DAY I OWNED IT THE BRAKES BEGAN TO MAKE EXCESSIVE NOISE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THREE SEPARATE DEALERS ALL WHO FAIL TO RECOGNIZE OR FIX THE PROBLEM THE BRAKES SOMETIMES SHUDDER ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR IF BRAKING ON A SLIGHT CURVE. AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE TO TOYOTA. THE NOISE IS EXCESSIVE AND LOUD AND TYPE OF NOISE YOU WOULD HEAR AFTER 30,000 MILES WHEN IN NEED OF BRAKE REPLACEMENT. ON THE THIRD VISIT TO A DEALER, A TECHNICIAN RODE IN THE CAR AND POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED THE NOISE. THEY THEN CLAIMED TO HAVE TAKEN APART THE WHEELS/BRAKES ONLY TO CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES UNDER THE EXISTING WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. BECAUSE THE BRAKES MAKE SUCH A LOUD NOISE SO FREQUENTLY, IT WOULD SEEM THE CAR MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THROUGH THE TOYOTA DEALER AND AS AN OWNER I WAS REGISTERED WITH THEIR ONLINE OWNER SITE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE LATEST SAFETY RECALL, AND DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN A THIRD TIME FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM REMAINS ONGOING. *TR

I JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA CONCERNING A 19 STATE RECALL OF 'SSC 90H - CERTAIN 2009-2010 COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PORT SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN". THIS NOTICE ADVISES (UNDER "WHAT IS THE CONDITION"? "IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED UNDER EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT CONDENSED MOISTURE FROM A POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PVC) PORT MAY SEEP INTO THE BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PORT ("PORT") AND FREEZE. THE PORT IS LOCATED INSIDE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND PROVIDES VACUUM ASSIST FOR THE BRAKES. SHOULD THIS CONDITION CONTINUE, ICE MAY SLOWLY ACCUMULATE AT THE PORT AND IN THE WORST CASE, ULTIMATELY PLUG THE PORT. AS A RESULT, POWER ASSIST TO THE BRAKES WOULD GRADUALLY DECREASE (EVENTUALLY TO ZERO), AND THE INCREASED PEDAL PRESSURE REQUIRED COULD LEAD TO GREATER VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCES." "WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?" "IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO BE OPERATED IN THE 19 SPECIFIED STATES OR IN THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE, PLEASE CONTACT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER AND ...." THIS DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM IS VERY SUBJECTIVE ("POSSIBILITY OF CONDENSED MOISTURE...", "ICE MAY SLOWLY ACCUMULATE..."IF YOU BELIEVE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR YOUR VEHICLE TO BE OPERATED..." . I HAVE ALREADY OPERATED THE VEHICLE IN NEVADA (ONE OF THE 19 STATES LISTED). IF THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY CONCERN I WOULD THINK THAT ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE EITHER A) FIXED WITH THE REDESIGNED AIR INTAKE CONNECTOR OR B) PROVIDE THE VEHICLE WITH A SAFETY WARNING STICKER (PLACED PROMINENTLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL?) THAT ADVISES THE DRIVER THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FITTED WITH THE REDESIGNED AIR INTAKE CONNECTOR AND THAT VACUUM BRAKE FAILURE MAY OCCUR WHENEVER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW X DEGREES F (Y DEGREES C) FOR PERIODS GREATER THAN I HOURS. WITHOUT SPECIFICS I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD RECEIVE THIS NEW PART, AND IF I ELECT NOT TO, HOW DO I PASS ON THE POSSIBLE EXTENDED LOW TEMPERATURE IMPACT TO FUTURE OWNER(S)? *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S IN JUNE OF 2009. WHENEVER I WOULD BE DRIVING ON ROUGH AND UNEVEN ROADS AND HAD TO USE MY BRAKES THEY WOULD NOT WORK. THE CAR WOULD KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN WHEN I WOULD APPLY MY BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED ALL OF THE TIME EVEN AFTER I TOOK MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS WHEN I WOULD TAKE MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THE MECHANIC ASSURED ME THAT IF THERE WERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES THAT THEY WOULD FIND IT AND FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DO A COMPLETE CHECK OF MY CAR AND IT FUNCTIONS WHEN THE DO THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CAR DIAGNOSTIC. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED AND I HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. MY CAR WAS ALSO TAKEN TO THE SAME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM DURING TIMES IT DID NOT NEED MAINTENANCE AND AFTER TAKING MY ENTIRE BREAK SYSTEM APART AND STILL NOT FINDING ANYTHING, THEY TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE BECAUSE THE FIRST UNEVEN ROAD I DROVE ON MY BREAKS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY AND THE VSC SYMBOL IMMEDIATELY CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED MAKING THIS CONSTANT ANNOYING BEEPING SOUND THAT WOULDN'T GO AWAY. THEREFORE I CALLED TOYOTA TELLING THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID TO BRING THE CAR BACK, SO I DID. THEY SAID THEY FOUND A LEAK IN ONE OF MY HOSES. SOMETHING THAT THEIR CAR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER NEVER CAUGHT WHEN I INITIALLY COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHICH EXISTED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK THIS TIME THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO IMPROVE A LITTLE BUT WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD WHEN I WOULD BREAK ON UNEVEN AND ROUGH ROADS.....I ALSO TOLD THE TOYOTA PEOPLE THAT THE BREAK PROBLEM THE PRIUS WAS HAVING SEEMED TO BE THE SAME BRAKE PROBLEM MY COROLLA WAS HAVING. ALTHOUGH I AM AWARE THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN THE PRIUS IS PROBABLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF MY COROLLA, BECAUSE THE PRIUS IS A HYBRID. PERHAPS THERE IS A CONNECTION. *TR

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 19,000 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS BUT NONE HAVE EVER FELT SO UNRESPONSIVE WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT OF A FAST STOP. THE DEALERS TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR VACUUM ASSISTED BRAKES. A BRAKE PEDAL THAT GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPING AND REQUIRES DANGEROUS DISTANCES TO FULLY STOP IS NOT NORMAL, AND IF TOYOTA HAS DESIGNED THE SYSTEM TO FUNCTION LIKE THIS THEY HAVE A BAD DESIGN FOR A MAJOR VEHICLE SAFETY FUNCTION. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN THE 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA MAY BE A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. YOU MAY NEED TO EVALUATE THIS FUNCTION OF THE TOYOTA. *TR

I DRIVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA.

I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. WITHIN AN HOUR OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP; IT HAPPENED TWICE YET THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

I PERSISTED IN GETTING THE DEALER TO ADJUST THE REAR LININGS AND BLEED THE BRAKES AND THIS SEEMED TO HELP SOMEWHAT. BUT AS THE BRAKES WEAR, I CAN FEEL THE PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DIFFICULT TO MODULATE, HAS A SPONGY, NON-LINEAR FEEL THAT INCREASES BRAKING DISTANCES AND MAKES THE CAR MORE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THESE CARS THAT SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY BY TOYOTA. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR IT'S 3 MONTH CHECKUP, I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING. I TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BECAUSE WHEN DRIVING OVER 45MPH THE CAR PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A SINGLE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I DESCRIBED THE BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE CAR, THEY TOLD ME THAT "THE BRAKES ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I HAVE BEEN USED TO WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO ENGAGE UNTIL THE PEDAL IS AT THE FLOOR BOARD. WHEN THEY WERE READY TO TURN THE CAR BACK OVER TO ME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT ON THE CAR AND THAT THEY ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES AND BLED THE LINES. I NOTICED THAT WHEN THEY "TEST DROVE" THE CAR THEY ONLY WENT 3 MILES. THAT DISTANCE, IN THE PART OF TOWN WHERE THE DEALER IS LOCATED DOESN'T EVEN GET THE CAR UP TO 40 MPH. THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT OF THE CAR DRIFTING IS STILL THERE. NOW THE BRAKES HOP AND CHATTER WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT SPEEDS OF APPX 45 MPH, AND WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR TENDS TO CREEP FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE FULLY ENGAGED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE SOLELY ON THE TOYOTA REPUTATION, AND NOW I AM SORRY THAT I DID. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2,2009 AND AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL/REPAIR. I SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH MY FIRST INSTINCT AND BOUGHT THE DODGE INSTEAD OF THE TOYOTA. *TR

FOR CAR BRAKING SYSTEM: AS YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOU HAVE TO PRESS IT REALLY HARD FOR IT TO START TO STOP THE CAR,IF YOU STOP THE CAR, AND RELEASE THE BREAK PEDAL THE CAR GOES SO FAST THAT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ( BUT NOBODY IS PRESSING NO PEDAL AT ALL). THE BRAKING ON A SHALLOW ROAD MAKES THE CAR SHAKE ESPECIALLY THE BRAKING PEDALS AND IT MAKES NOISE, AND AT THE SAME TIME IT IS NEEDED TO PUT SOME EXTRA FORCE AND PUSH THE BRAKES REALLY HARD FOR IT TO WORK, THE ROAD DOES NOT NEED TO BE THAT BAD FOR IT TO HAPPEN, AT TIMES IT HAPPENS ON A VERY SMALL DEPRESSION. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA AT TOYOTA CITY, MAMARONECK, NY ON 8/31/09. I FELT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING MECHANISM, A STRANGE FEELING IN THE BRAKES, HEARD A NOISE IN STEERING WHEEL, AND A STRANGE FEELING IN THE WAY THE CAR RODE IMMEDIATELY WHEN TURNING AND BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/5/09. I DID NOT BRING IT BACK RIGHT AWAY DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, AND I FELT MAYBE I NEEDED TO GET USED TO THE CAR. I HAD A 2003 COROLLA BEFORE, AND THIS CAR FELT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN ITS RIDE. NOT AS TIGHT A RIDE. ON 10/5/09 THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP ALL DAY AND THEY FOUND IT HAD WARPED ROTORS AND NEEDED NEW BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR'S BRAKES MAYBE HAD GOTTEN WET SITTING IN THE RAIN, WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I FELT THAT WAS VERY ODD ON A BRAND NEW CAR, AND WITH ITS PREDELIVERY INSPECTING THIS WAS MISSED. THEY COVERED THE REPAIR. I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AND BROUGHT IT BACK ON 10/19/09. THERE WAS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS TIME THEY BALANCED THE TIRES. AGAIN, NOT CLEAR WHY THEY DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE. I STILL HEARD A NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FELT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A TIGHT DRIVING FEEL. THEY TOLD ME TO LIVE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM. IT WAS HOW THE POWER ASSIST SYSTEM WORKED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. I HAVE FELT THE BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND WELL, AND PULSATE ON ENGAGEMENT, AND I FEEL THE CAR STILL MOVES FORWARD, WHEN TRYING TO STOP. ON 1/23/10 I HIT A DEER. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE A LOT OF DEER AND FOR 18 YEARS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP AND NEVER HIT ONE. NOT SURE WHAT WENT WRONG HERE. ON 2/5/10, GREEN TREE TOYOTA IN DANBURY, CT TEST DROVE MY CAR FOR THE BRAKES. SAID THEY WERE FINE. I FEEL I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE LIKE I DID WITH OTHER TOYOTAS AND FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING. *TR

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS... THE THREE MOST RECENT OCCURRED ON 2/8, 2/10, AND 2/15 OF 2010. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, I FIGURED IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDED DRIVEN (BROKEN IN) SO THE BRAKES WOULD FIND THEIR BEST WORKING LEVELS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED, AND IN ALL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE INCIDENT ON 2/8 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND ONLY GOING ABOUT 5-8 MPH. AS SHE MADE A TURN THE CAR PROCEEDED TO SHUTTER AND THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON, NO BRAKING WAS AVAILABLE DURING THIS INCIDENT, BUT LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON 2/10 I WAS GOING TO TAKE THIS CAR TO FINALLY HAVE THEM FIX THE PROBLEM AND IN (VERY SAFE) GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS I EXPERIENCED WHAT MY WIFE HAD EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE BETTER OF 6 MONTHS. AS YOU PROCEED TO COME TO A STOP THE CAR ACCELERATES UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS (I HAVE TESTED THIS) IF YOU KEEP THE PEDAL AT THE SAME POINT THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO SPEED UP SLOWLY, BUT IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR SEEMS TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED. NOW THIS IS WHERE MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANY LONGER, WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE FURTHER DOWN TO STOP IT LOCKS THE TIRES FOR ABOUT A SECOND BEFORE THE ABS EVEN KICKS IN. BEING THAT THIS IS A COLD AREA AND WE LIKELY HAVE SNOW DURING THE WINTER MONTHS I AM AMAZED THAT IF ANY OTHER COROLLA ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEY ALL HAVE NOT SLID OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON 2/10 I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE. NEVER MADE IT, DID NOT TRUST THE VEHICLE TO SAFELY GET ME TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT INJURY TO MYSELF, OTHERS, OR PROPERTY. THE LAST INCIDENT ON 2/15 WAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND AT THIS POINT MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. THIS IS THE VEHICLE WE PURCHASED TO KEEP OUR NEWBORN SAFE... LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN A POOR CHOICE. I FINALLY RISKED MY LIFE AND TOOK IT TO TOYOTA TONIGHT, WE WILL SEE WHAT COMES OF THIS. THANKS *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA TOWARD THE END OF 2009. I WILL ADVISE THAT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS "SOFT", AND AT TIMES WHEN PRESSED AND THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP, IT FEELS LIKE THE PEDAL KEEPS SINKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL RESPONSE DOES NOT FEEL CONSISTENT, AND OCCASIONALLY I "PUMP" IT IN ORDER TO GET A MORE FIRM FEEDBACK (THE PEDAL SEEMS TO FIRM UP AT SECOND PRESS ). LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS TO REPORT, THE CAR KEEPS STOPPING, AND A " NO PROBLEM" MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A CHECK SOON AFTER PURCHASE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, BUT NOW I HAVE TO WONDER! *TR

WHEN I QUICKLY BRAKED, THE BRAKES SHUDDERED AND MADE A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE. I NOTICED A SLOWER RESPONSE AFTER PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. EVEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF VIBRATION COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

THE BRAKE OF TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 DOES NOT RESPOND EFFECTIVELY. IT IS HARD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP EVEN IT IS COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN TO THE FLOOR, WHICH IS REALLY SCARY.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED AND BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROX 8 WEEKS. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 2400 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASE WHERE I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY BRAKES LOCKING AND RESULTING IN FAILING TO STOP. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AS WELL AS ALMOST REAR-ENDING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN I GO OVER A SMALL BUMP OR A POT HOLE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THIS PROBLEM. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, WITHIN AN HOUR OF LEAVING THE DEALER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WHEN I WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. I HAVE HEARD ABOUT A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE TOYOTA PRIUS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 COROLLA. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS OVER THE AREAS WHERE I DRIVE MY CURRENT VEHICLE WITH NO SIMILAR BRAKING FAILURE ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *JB
