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.
