2010 Toyota Corolla brakes complaints

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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. While driving approximately 15 MPH and depressing the brake pedal on a curve, the brakes failed to respond. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
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.

At approx 11:30 pm on july 15th 2016, my fianc, myself and 2 of our friends were heading home from downtown miami on I-95. It was raining extremely hard, so everyone was going well below the speed limit. I would approx we were going 35-40 MPH. The car in front of us slammed on his breaks due to the rain coming down extremely hard, and I proceeded to do the same. However instead of my car breaking, it began accelerating 10-15mph. 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. I know this is a known issue with the 2010 corolla and I have taken my car in for all the recalls and inspections but obviously there is something still wrong with the 2010 corollas because I almost died tonight die to unexpected acceleration

I was driving 99 south in south sacramento last aug 21 2015, at around 2 pm. 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. My car had only had 47000 miles on it. 2 weeks prior to that I took my car to the dealer for oil change and he said I need new front brakes on the next oil change.

I called toyota customer service in torrance and she suggested to inspect the " black box " or edr of the car then she asked me what I want from toyota! After the accident, I found out that there were lots of recalls on toyota matrix up to 2012 but I never received any notice from the mail nor the dealer fix the recall whenever I take my car for oil change!

I purchased my 2010 toyota corolla in october 2010, about a month later I began noticing problems with my brakes. Pressing the brakes there is a slight acceleration of the vehicle, taking my foot off the brake the car also accelerates before slowing down, I have no control over the acceleration. To this day, the brakes still regularly accelerate. Others who have driven my car immediately experience the brake acceleration and are very uncomfortable driving my car. I have been to the dealer numerous times when the problems began but they did not fix the problems (I did keep the work order receipts), I have not been to the dealer recently.

Brakes grind and skip causing car to slide sideways.
At speeds over 50 MPH the 2010 corolla s has steering wander - does not hold center very well - constantly have to correct direction to keep it straight - gets tiring after a while - just figured there was nothing I could do about it so I just lived with problem until reading an article about the federal safety agency checking into problem so I told [xxx] in service dept. At dry ridge toyota in ky. About problem ( oct - 2013 ) and he said he would check into it and see if toyota would offer a fix - no response from toyota after over 6 months its now ( may - 2014 ) I have checked back every month with [xxx] but he says still nothing from toyota - so im now filing this complaint with the federal safety agency .......... Also the speed control jerks car very hard as it reengages while going up a hill sometimes approx. 25 MPH to 45 MPH ......... Also the antilock brakes cause the front end of the car to jump up and down when trying to stop on slick rainy or snow roads at slower speeds. Thank you.

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.
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.
I was driving and the person in front of me had hit their brakes due to the cars in front of them hitting the brakes due to a red light. I then hit my brakes as well and the car didn't stop, I pumped the brakes a few times and still had no brakes. My husband had panicked and pulled the emergency brake and the car still did not stop. 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 am just glad that no one was seriously hurt.
I was driving on the interstate and took an exit. Attempted to apply the brakes, and there was a grinding noise. The vehicle did not stop and hit another vehicle at the stoplight.
I was driving in the morning on a very cold day and was driving around 30mph. I applied the brakes as I could see the stop light about 200 feet just came on. When I applied the brakes, the ABS brakes locked up and it took the entire 200 feet to finally get the car to stop.
Brake application not engaged until we press the brake more than half way. This is increasing chances of accident that brake is not applied as driver wants it.
I [xxx] the owner of toyota corolla 2010 (license plate: [xxx], licensed with the state of maryland VIN no: [xxx]), residing at [xxx], while trying to park in my residential apartments at the above mentioned address (at a speed of 3-5 MPH), applied the brakes and all of a sudden it caused an unintended acceleration and I hit the huge metallic trash bins in front of me at a very high speed on october 28th, 2013. The airbags did not deploy, but the front of my car got damaged heavily. It has been towed away by my insurance company geico to one of their body shops. My left ear and neck are in great pain since then and my wife [xxx] who was the passenger along with me suffered left knee sprain. We have been in a state of utter shock and dismay since this incident as this was completely unexpected. I have been a safe driver since the past 7 years and have never had any accidents, violations etc. Also I never mistook the gas pedal for the brake during my whole driving career and I use only one leg for this purpose. My vehicle when I purchased in 2010 was inspected 2-3 times for this and other issues by the dealer/toyota. The initial estimates as per my insurance agent are several grand (dollars) and the damage to the car is extensive. The insurance company's body shop is working on it. Please see the attachments that show the car was taken to the toyota dealer within a few months of purchasing it for acceleration problems and also the edr reports, service statement showing that this model is a part of a open recall service by toyota. I opened a case with toyota USA headquarters about the unintended acceleration that caused the accident yesterday. The case# is [xxx].

Prematurely failing: struts (repaired summer of 2013), water pump (repaired 10/15/13), brakes (repaired 10/15/13), and alternator (yet to be repaired).
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.
