I was sitting at a stoplight with my foot on the brake waiting for the light to change to green when suddenly the vehicle surged forward into the back end of vehicle in front of me resulting in damage to my front end and very minor damage to other vehicle. No one was injured.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. The contact stated when driving at approximately 55 MPH, the steering wheel would not stay balanced in a straight line. The vehicle would veer in either direction. The contact stated the failure was worse when driving in snow or windy weather conditions. The dealer advised the vehicle was operating as designed. The failure persisted. The dealer test drove and was able to duplicate the failure. An investigator was sent on behalf of the manufacturer to further inspect the failure. The investigator performed a visual inspection and advised there were no failures. In addition, the contact stated the brakes would feel spongy and would often fall farther into the floorboard than normal. The contact would have to apply steady, repeated pressure in order for them to work properly. The dealer advised there were no failures within the brake system. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 500 and the current mileage was approximately 2,100.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. The contact stated when attempting to brake on a bumpy or uneven road surface, the brakes would grind excessively and would not stop the vehicle. The dealer where ran a diagnostic test and stated they could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileages were 4,000.
When applying the brake pedal, sitting stopped in traffic, the brake pedal seems to fade away intermittently. You only loose about 1-2" of pedal height, but the car will start to roll forward if you do not notice it and apply more pedal pressure to stop the car. I am ase certified in brakes and it has a bad master cylinder. Toyota states the this is a "normal" condition for this vehicle and refuses to warranty this issue. This vehicle has 4800 miles on it.
As I applied the brakes on my 2010 toyota corolla, the vehicle seemed to momentarily surge before slowing down. This has happened on other occasions as well. The duration of the surging sensation is very brief.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. The contact stated that his vehicle has been experiencing recurring brake and steering failures. Repeated pressure would have to be applied to the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The contact also stated that while driving at unknown highway speeds, the vehicle would drift from left to right. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 200 and the current mileage was 7,020.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. The contact was driving at approximate speeds of 20-25 MPH and approaching a traffic stop. As he proceeded to accelerate from the stop, the vehicle would not respond. Suddenly, there was an unusual increase in engine rpms and the vehicle abnormally accelerated at a rapid rate of speed. The contact placed the vehicle in neutral and engaged the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where repairs were made under the federal safety agency recall campaign id number 10v023000 (vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal).

The dealer was unable to duplicate the brake failure and there were no further repairs made to the vehicle. The failure mileage was 3,865 and the current mileage was 3,904.
Anti-lock brakes go into a chatter, when wet, at low speeds, and do not stop the car very well. This has happened on more than one occasion.
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)?
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.
2010 toyota corolla le has brake problem on bumpy roads. The brake seems to have hit something when the car bumps due to road conditions, and affects the effectiveness of braking. A friend who has the exact model also has the same problem. Have complained to toyota dealership and was looked at, but saying everything was normal; however, the problem exists.

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.

Bought a 2010 corolla on 12/26/09 with goodyear eagle ls 2 tires. Upon driving home my steering was weaving left to right felt as though I was driving on ice and/or hydroplaning. Toyota regional rep came from corporate, looked at the steering 2 wks ago. Steering improved until driving in rain on 4/4/10 the steering became loose and the car was weaving left to right and I was once again hydroplaning at 65 MPH goodyear man said when traction is lost to the road, the vehicle will hydroplane. (these tires are dangerous) *tr the consumer stated it was very difficult to control the steering. The vehicle would wander into the next lane. The consumer also stated the vehicle did not always stop in time when the brakes were applied. The consumer was told the vehicle was equipped with ABS and they were much better and safer.

Approximately one week ago, my 2010 corolla surged forward approximately 6-8 feet after I placed in park in my work parking lot. The tachometer went to above 2000 rpms, and the cars speed went over 20 MPH before I was able to jam on the emergency brake. My foot was not on the brake or the gas pedal. I almost hit a tree. My head was thrust backwards. Three hours later the paramedics had to come to my office and rush me to the hospital as I had a tia as a result. This is the third acceleration incident with my vehicle since february 12th. The dealership has even had a specialist look at my car, and they said nothing is wrong with it. I brought the car back to the dealership today because of the above incident. The general service manager said to me quote unquote "we can find nothing wrong with your vehicle, and can not verify your complaint. You have brought the car to us four times for this same acceleration problem and there is nothing wrong with your car. We have not charged you any of these times. If you bring it to us again for the same problem, we are going to have to bill you for our time. They also charged me for the rental car today. He also stated that the media is blowing this way out of proportion, and that there is nothing wrong with any of the toyota vehicles. He said the problem is one of two things. I asked him what those two things were. He stated that they are the drivers are bad drivers and the other is it is fraud. So I said are you implying I am a lier or a bad driver and he refused to answer. I then said I am neither of the two and that I resented the implication to both. I told him my car is a death mobile and unsafe to drive, and also that I had been hurt 3 or 4 times already.

In trying to stop a 2010 toyota (with a manual transmission) the brakes had a metallic rattle as they engaged, then almost immediately they became dis-engaged causing the car to move forward about five feet before re-engaging and stopping the car. During this event the brakes had been applied at all times and the clutch depressed.

I was going to work when my brakes stopped working, steering wheel locked, and car accelerated straight into a fence. Both my mother and I were injured. I got a toyota specialist to look at the car, it took them three and a half weeks after the accident to send that specialist to look at the car. He then said the car was safe to drive. After I got my car back from the body shop I took the car to the toyota dealership where I got it to get the brakes fixed and the accelerator pedal fixed. I have gone twice already and my brakes still aint fixed and giving me problem.
While my husband was driving my 2010 toyota corolla (purchased on 9/10/09) on miramar, pkwy in miramar, florida, at 45 miles per hour a truck cut him off. When he hit the brakes to stop, the ABS locking system skipped and never fully stopped? Had the truck not sped up to help him avoid hitting him, he could have been seriously hurt or even killed. I have taken the car to the dealership for a scratching sound (ABS) since 2 weeks of purchase (500 miles). On the first trip back to the dealership on 9/25/09, after 5 days and an hour and 1/2 driving with one of the mechanics, I was told that there was nothing they could do about the anti locking system, that is just the way they are. It has since been at the dealership 5 different times since date of purchase for a total of 15 days that I have counted for the same scratching noise and multiple other things, such as the steering, the tires rattling and balancing issues. When I called the dealership today (3/11/10) I was told by the service manager that my husband should bring in the car to try and duplicate the ABS braking system not working. Does he have to duplicate almost getting into a fatal accident in order for toyota to fix the braking problem? I think not. I was then told that they can give me a prius as a loaner. Wow!!!! I traded in a 2002 bmw x5 for the reliable safe corolla. What a huge mistake.
The car was taken into the dealership on february 15 by me and I reported the car pulling to the right as into traffic if I was in the passing lane when the brakes were applied. The manufacture kept the car for two hours, returned it to me claiming something in the brakes were not lined up, but claimed the problem was fixed and the brakes had been "lubricated". February 17, 2010 the brakes released after being applied to avoid hitting a car ahead of my car who had slammed on their brakes. I reapplied the brakes and heard an extreamly loud noise comming from my corolla, then the brakes caught and I was able to slow down enough to avoid hitting the car and finally stopped.
Toyota 2010 corolla brake system failed. The emergency brake went on , while I was driving without me doing anything. The odometer stopped working, brake, check-engine, panic mode and airbag system lights went on. The failure has occurred twice already, first starting as a brake failure, then almost leading to the accident when everything failed at once. Almost got into an accident and I couldn't accelerate in the car. I took the car to the dealership and they gave me run around, they still don't know how to fix it or what's wrong with it. This car is beyond unsafe to drive, luckily it didn't lead to an accident and injuries both to me and other drivers.
I have felt that there is a problem with the brakes of my 2010 toyota corolla since shortly after I bought it. The brakes vibrate or pulsate without warning. It seems that the ABS is activated for no reason. I am not stopping short and the road has not been slippery . I brought the car to the dealer and they claimed that there is nothing wrong with the brakes. Another problem I have noticed with the brakes is that they seem to grind when I am braking over bumpy surfaces. It happens with out warning, I never know when it will occur. I called the dealer and the mechanic said it is just the ABS, nothing to worry about. The problem seem similar to the prius brake complaints. Finally, I notice that sometimes as I am stopping that the brakes seem to slip a little but then take hold.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla le. While sitting idle in the parking position, the vehicle momentarily lunged forward. While traveling at various speeds as low as 50 MPH, the vehicle would veer to the right. Also, the keyless remote, which also acts as a vehicle locator, would only operate intermittently. Often, the vehicle locator alarm would go off on without driver input. The dealer advised changing the batteries in the keyless remote. That did not correct the failure. The dealer then attempted to reprogram the keyless alarm sensor and advised the locator could only be used for short-range locating. No further repairs were performed on the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were approximately 6,300. The consumer stated the brakes did not perform as designed. Updated 07/19/10
