On january12, 2011 at 3:45pm my daughter was driving home from school and up the driveway to park. Her 2009 toyota corolla would not stop and it drove through a flower bed and into our home. There was extensive damage to her vehicle as well as our home. The air beg did not deploy and she was not injured. She called me immediately and said "daddy... The car would not stop". She told me that she was depressing the brake with one foot and then both feet in an effort to get the car to stop.the toyota corolla accelerator and brake issue are more than a coincidence.if my daughter is innocent of negligence, I would like to make those who are responsible pay for the damages that we have incurred and clear my daughters name of any wrongdoing.
2009 toyota corolla. Consumer states that she pressed the accelerator and the brake pedal at the same time and the vehicle accelerated through a fence. She finally got the vehicle to stop before crashing into the building. *kb the consumer stated he accelerated through a fence causing $7,566.05 in damage to his vehicle. The consumer stated even though the accident was due to driver error, the vehicle was poorly designed. The differential in height between the gas pedal and the brake pedal was 1 to 1. 25 inches when neither was depressed. They can very often be at the same height when both were depressed together which could cause driver confusion as to where the foot would be. To add to the problem, there was a firewall hump 1 inch to the right of the accelerator pedal. This leaves only 5.75 inches between that wall and the right edge of the brake pedal. The consumer stated there was not enough space to maneuver his foot.
I have two related concerns about the 2009 corolla s with traction and stability control. It is my belief that there is an unresolved software issue with the ABS / stability system. I noticed the first issue at only 6000 miles, right after my second service at the toyota dealer. They performed the brake manifold recall related to the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v338000 during that service. The front brakes began to shake violently during braking from 65 MPH. It felt like the rotors were severely warped when this occurred. This does not occur every time. The toyota dealer examined the vehicle and they stated they could not find any issues and would not test the vehicle above 55 MPH. Each time I took the vehicle in for a scheduled service, the problem would suddenly get worse again. They like to tighten the rear brakes each time. I asked them to leave the rear brakes alone and did not see the normal aggravation of the front disk pulsation issue. I do still see severe vibration periodically. This symptom appears to occur most when the ambient external temperature is lower than 2 degrees below freezing and all the lights are fully lit. Due to the sporadic nature of the vibration, my concern is that the ABS system is unable to keep up or there is a voltage fluctuation with all the lights on that triggers the system to pulse the brakes intentionally. I have found others are seeing the same type of issue and noticed that you have a similar request odi id number: 10359202 from someone that has the same year and model with many identical VIN number digits. I currently have the original parts on the vehicle, if you need to inspect them. My secondary concern occurred when I tested the emergency (hand) brake on a long straight road. The stability control system threw the vehicle from side to side violently which could easily cause complete loss of control. This appears to be a software issue due to an 'unforeseen' but plausible condition.
I have contacted toyota headquarters for more than 13 times regarding the faulty brake system of my new toyota corolla, 2009. I didn't get actual results. This new car is driven by my child. I don't want my child in a dangerous situation. I don't want lose my hard earned money for the faulty vehicle. I will only be satisfied if the toyota headquarter authorize the nearest dealer to replace my current toyota corolla with a new toyota corolla in free of cost. For this written documentation should be mailed authorizing nearest toyota dealer to replace with new toyota corolla.
My 2009 toyota corolla sport has been having brake issues since I bought the vehicle about 3 months ago brand new with only 6 miles on it. It started with brake noises. Both me and my girlfriend heard them. We are not deaf. I took my toyota in for service on the problem twice and both times they said nothing was wrong with my vehicle. The past week I've noticed the breaking has been really difficult and you have to push down hard to stop the vehicle. So today; my third brake complaint they told me I need new rotors and that the pads are worn down the metal on metal and that the rotors were "glazed" over from the extreme heat. New rotors and third set of brake pads at 11,000 miles? Never heard of it! Somethings wrong and toyota will not admit it.

2009 toyota corolla car was recalled for brake problem. When I have the below problem, the brakes will not stop the car. Engine revs up for no reason when the car is stopped. In my case, all engine speed ups occurred when I was stopped, and my foot was on the brake. It has happened about 10 times since I have owned the car. The last time it occurred, I was stopped at a stop sign, and the engine sped up and forced me into the intersection, where I ran into the side of a pickup. The engine has sped up when I first started the car, and the car was in park, and my foot on the brake. Toyota has looked at my car and said there is nothing wrong with it. Toyota said that I had an after market floor mat on the drivers side and that is a no/no. When the engine sped up with me driving, there was no mat on the driver side floor, except the toyota mat and it was restrained by the clips. Do car manufactures ever look at comments made my their customers? In my case, I was told no.

This complaint is being filed on by me as a result of the terrible safety problems I have encountered since purchasing my 2009 toyota corolla new from performance toyota dealership in fairfield, ohio. On 3/27/2009 my corolla sped up on its own causing me to strike a parked vehicle, and injuring myself. I called the walton, kentucky plant about this the following day. Their advise to me was to take my vehicle to the dealership where I had bought it for an inspection. On april 1, 2009 I did this very thing and I was told by their mechanics that everything on my car was fine and that it was probably just operator of the vehicles fault. Leaving the dealership worried, and concerned I put my toyota corolla in the body shop for repairs. Ten days later after having my vehicle inspected by their mechanics and having my body repairs made the same thing occurred to me again when on 4/11/2009 my toyota corolla accelerated upon its own again striking a parked vehicle causing additional injuries to myself as well as this time I was cited by the police, my insurance carrier raised my rates to nearly double the usual amount, and I am paying for a car that I am terrified at this point to be driving. When I requested print outs from the dealership of the mechanical inspection that was made between auto accidents they became very agitated with me, and my son to the point of complete rudeness. On 22/4/2010 they made a correction on my toyota corolla to make an attempt to fix the sudden acceleration problem, and told me to remove my drivers side floor mat that I would be receiving a new one for safety reasons. I did this but still as of yet have not received any such floor mat for my car. On 5/19/2010 my son and I took my corolla in for an oil change and tire rotation when we were told of a brake recall that my car needed which would only take 40 minutes to accomplish. I told them to fix it please. I have complied in every way.
On march 8, 2010 I was driving my 2009 toyota corolla, of which I am the first owner. I was going about 35 MPH and I pressed the gas pedal to accelerate to about 45 MPH. Then I released the gas and pressed on the brake pedal but the car did not slow down, but kept going 45. After a few seconds of pressing hard on the brakes, I pulled the handbrake and shifted the car into park. The car slowed down and eventually stopped. I then called a towing company and had the car towed to a dealership. They inspected the car and found nothing wrong. This problem has not occurred since.
Tl*-the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact was driving approximately 2 MPH in the reverse position. When pressure was applied to the brake pedal the vehicle stalled unexpectedly.

I experienced a failure of the brakes in my 2009 toyota corolla s. I was pulling out of the parking lot at work today and approaching a busy road to turn right onto. Approaching the turn at about 5 MPH, I pushed the brake pedal lightly to gradually slow down to a stop to avoid entering the road into oncoming traffic. However, when the brake pedal was pushed, I heard a grinding noise and the car did not decelerate at all. It may have been the ABS activating, despite the low speed and light pressure on the brake pedal. I tried applying more pressure to the brake, but there was still no deceleration. Only when I released the brakes completely (which is very hard to do when you're about to drive into oncoming traffic) and reapplied pressure to the brake pedal did the brakes engage and the vehicle stop. This is the first time I have had an issue with the brakes in nearly 20,000 miles of driving this vehicle.

Driving north bound on I-90 in lane 2 from the right side, approaching near the north cumberland ave over pass at approximately 50 MPH, when it appeared the auto in front was slowing down I applied the brakes and they did not engage or slow the vehicle down. With vehicle 1 rapidly gaining on the auto in front of it, I switched over to lane 1 quickly to avoid striking the vehicle from behind, when the brakes did not stop the vehicle, the speed continued to increase, when it appeared I was going to hit the wall to the right of the safety lane, I cut back into lane 1 and the car, now going at an uncontrollable higher rate of speed, made almost a complete left across all 3 lanes striking vehicle 2 in the 3rd lane on the right rear door, when spinning off of vehicle 2 the left rear of vehicle 1 struck the wall making the vehicle come to a complete stop.
I have noticed that my brakes on my 2009 toyota corolla s have been not as responsive as I would assume or want them to be. This is especially noticeable when it is rainy or wet, or even damp outside. I began to notice that when it was wet my brakes sound like they are grinding when I stop and stopping distance is significantly elongated. Finally on one rainy day my brakes failed as I crashed into the person in front of me. In any usual circumstance I would have had enough time to completely stop, however my brakes completely depressed to the ground and felt that they hardly slowed my car, resulting in damage to my car and injury to myself. I have brought my corolla into a toyota dealership to have the breaks looked at and they said they were completely fine, however they were unable to reproduce the circumstance under which my brakes failed, therefore resulting in them saying there was no issue with the brakes. I have had all of the recalls done on my car and I still notice that the brakes are not functioning as they should.

While applying the brakes (2009 toyota corolla le 38,000miles) on the snow or slick condition road the wheels would constantly stop/rotate as soon I would press on the brake pedal and prevented me from stopping until the car slid into a dry spot, curb, or snow bank. It seemed as if the brakes were over sensitive causing the brakes to immediately respond with the constant stop/rotate. For a couple of snow falls (09/10 season) I dealt with this by slowing down and using the brakes way before my intended stops. On 1/7/10 as I was coming over a slight decline I pressed on the brake in response to a van about 150 feet in front of me at a red light which caused the car rear end to whip around to the front across oncoming traffic land into a snow bank. At that point the car was stuck and had to be pulled out. Although the tires still had sufficient tread on them (no balding) I replaced all the tires. That stopped the over sensitive reaction with the brakes.

I was driving in a parking lot on the main driveway leading out of parking lot. I was stuck by a truck in the rear passenger side. The other drivers truck struck my back wheel taking most of the impact. Wheel physically looks straight and does not show any wobble when watching it drive. No airbags deployed yet I could not steer or brake my vehicle. Almost as if everything froze when I was impacted. Vehicles power was still on but nothing worked after impact. I ended up crashing into shopping carts and curb after impact because I could not stop. This could have been a disaster if I was not in a parking lot. I would be dead if this was on a highway.
