I have a 2010 corolla it constantly sways while driving at freeway speeds. Sometimes I need to hold onto the steering wheel with both hands to keep it from going into another lane. I switched from driving a small vw beetle and was familiar with strong winds causing these problems but when I looked out the window there was no wind all the trees were still and no flags were waving. There has been a couple of times when I really felt the car was going to swerve out of control if I didn't immediately slow down. I also feel a metal grinding sensation with my brakes when I slow down over uneven pavement or go over a speed bump. This doesn't happen every time but in the past 2 months that I've had the car it occurred 6 times. I told the toyota dealership about these problems and they said it couldn't be duplicated and that there was nothing wrong with the car. Which is completely ridiculous there hasn't been a time that I've driven on the freeway and not felt this swaying. They didn't even try to find a problem. They didn't do a thing to help me. Than I heard of other corolla owners having the same problems. So I know it's not just me, there is a problem with my car and they need to recognize they made another mistake.
When I was driving over a pothole or uneven ground less than 2 weeks after buying a new 2010 toyota corolla the brakes would grind and stopping would not be immediate. I took it back to the dealer who could not find anything wrong. I was told that new brakes often make noises. I explained that this was far from a normal noise. Still, they assured me the car was safe, which I do not believe. I have had the car for a little less than 5 months and the brakes continue to grind over uneven ground. It will continue to grind until I release my foot from the brake, even if I am no longer on uneven ground. The car will slow over the uneven ground, but will not stop as expected, especially given that this is a new vehicle. Also, yesterday morning I started hearing a "tick" sound coming from the brake pedal. It happens mostly in stop-and-go traffic.
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the brakes seemed to release when she drove approximately 5 MPH over a bumpy surface. The vehicle also occurred while driving over icy road surfaces or rocks. The failure mileage was 100. The current mileage was 2,452.
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.
Since I bought it in october my 2010 toyota corolla base model has been extremely difficult to keep on the road I go over fifty and it feels like a big wind in constantly trying to push me off the road, I pay alot of money for this car and I don't trust it at all, when I stop or attempt to it makes a loud almost ABS type sound very often and the brakes are extremely touchy and I feel this car is just a unsafe device what's next these cars are junk and poorly made.
Tengo un corolla y tngo problemas con la dieccion de mi auto una ves estaba en el freeway como a 60 millas y trate de frenar porq otro auto se me atraveso sin poner su direccional y a alta velocidad y no lo podia controlar el bolante se hacia de un lado a otro eto me preocupa y e llamado a mi vendedor para consular y no me contestan nunca cualquier pregunta llamarme.
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.
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
On november 27, 2009, I bought a 2010 toyota corolla from lake city, fl toyota. While stopped at a red traffic light, I noticed that the brake pedal moved down more light air was in the brakes. This has happened twice. I also have heard a rubbing sound when I turn my steering wheel. That has happened twice also. My first payment is next month and I am very upset about this. I am taking my car into the toyota dealership in lake city, fl in the morning.
I have toyota corolla 2010, bought in august 2009. I had a brake problem with this car existed from the beginning. My problem with brake was first like a suspicious case and initially unbelievable for me.that's why I was doubt at first! I never believed 2010 corolla (I am owner) could have this problem. So I put off with that for a while. However, I realized the fact after traveling to california to visit my sister and I rented a car (volkswagen) over there. When I was driving the car, I found out how sharp the brake of the car was. At that time I felt the difference between sharp and properly-working brake and failed brake. Other unusual experience with this corolla is that when I was driving the car in uneven roads the brake was going down completely with generation of such odd sounds like cracking of two pieces together! Therefore I realized something really wrong with the brake. The brake being weak and not working properly. I called toyota dealer and told them the problem. Also, in tri-monthly schedules for checking the car, I told them I do not like the brake, it is not good, not sharp, slow to action, but they told me we checked everything and all is fine! Nothing done to fix the brake failure. Unfortunately there are no any records of these conversations to the best of my knowledge, just I have a receipt that shows I brought the car for checking and they checked it. After that, I continue to driving, but once again, I realized the problem still exists. My next appointment for bringing the car for checking was february 7th on sunday. I was going to tell them I can not stand with this problem and I am concern about this, but unfortunately I got an accident on feb 2th. I was in slow line, my speed was slow (not more than 25m/h), however, when the car ahead of me stopped, I could not stopped correspondingly due to pre-existing brake failure. I hit the rear of the car. Fortunately the police officers mentioned the issue of "brake failure" in their report.
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!
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 am in el paso, and it is a hot area. So the brake recall on some of the cold states does not make sense. It should recall all of the corolla 2010 for brake fix.
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.
Brakes unresponsive, requires depression of pedal to the floorboard before brakes begin engaging. Occurs at all speeds. Dealer adjusted brakes and bled lines and this issue continues. I was told that the braking system is different than what I am used to and I have to get used to it.
2010 toyota corolla, experience loud noises when braking while going over rough road, speed bumps or grates in the road at low speeds.
2010 toyota corolla brake failure which was reported to dealership caused an accident with my parents. Dealership claimed the reviewed brakes and there was no issue. My father reported to officer that brakes did not work.
2010 corolla s. When hitting pothole, uneven surfaces, or when vehicle weight shifts such as going over the top of a hill the vehicles ABS comes on and vehicle delays in stopping. The brake pedal vibrates but the car is not in a skid happens at low speeds 25 miles per hour or less.
I was driving slowly cause of snowy conditions, I applied the brakes gently starting almost 20 -30 ft before reaching the vehicle in front of me, to make a stop but there was no response and the car just rolled on to hit a ford SUV. With the brake fully depressed I was almost 10 feet away from the vehicle in front. No one was injured. The car did not swing or skid, it went straight. My car front bumper and hood was damaged. This is my first accident in my driving career. I took my car to the dealer, and lodged a complaint with toyota.
I own a 2010 toyota corolla s. Ocassionally when I'm braking, my car doesn't want to brake. It makes a grinding feeling under my foot. Then I have to quickly apply the brake again to get the car to stop. I thought it was just a fluke at first or due to the road being wet, but it happened again today, and the pavement was dry. Luckily I don't wait until the last second to brake, and I don't tailgate.
Brakes unresponsive, requires depression of pedal to the floorboard before brakes begin engaging. Occurs at all speeds. Safety concerns regarding the safety and effectiveness of the brake system.
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 corolla. The contact stated that there was a delay when the brake pedal was engaged. The failure has occurred in fair weather conditions and on uneven pavement. The failure mileage was 4000. The current mileage was 5000.
1) events leading up to failure: I purchased a new 2010 toyota corolla on jan 1st 2010. I drove the car for 1 approximately 1 month before experiencing problems with the brake/acceleration. On jan 30, 2010 I noticed that the car would sometimes accelerate initially before braking when I hit the brake. On feb 2, 2010 I was involved in a collision on interstate 5 just after the la jolla village dr entrance. Traffic was heavy, moving at an average speed of 20mph. When the car in front of me stopped, I hit the brake and my car accelerated into the back of the car in front of me. The car is currently undrivable and in the repair shop.
It was in a snow storm. I felt I had been keeping a safe distance from the car in front of me (I never had an accident prior). Cars ahead slowed down suddenly. I depressed the brake pedal, could feel ABS was activated. But it could not stop the car soon enough, hit the car in front of me at the right tail light. Bumpers and tail light damaged.
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.
Failure of brakes when going over bumps in the road. This is an ongoing problem that has happened quite frequently. I live on a dirt road which is wash-board bumpy. I also experience the same problem pulling into my parking spot at work which is bumpy. The brakes fail and the car makes a noise when going over the bumps. After the bumps, it corrects itself. No cars I have driven over the same conditions has exhibited this problem. I heard about the prius problem and that was the exact problem I had experienced. I am not sure how long it has happened, or how many miles I had on the car when I noticed it the first time. All I know is that it is still happening.
When coming to a stop at a stop sign, if the pavement is bumpy, the anti-lock braking on my 2010 toyota corolla engages, hindering the slowing of my vehicle. The loss of braking is scary. This was not a one-time event, it happens whenever applying braking while on a bumpy section of road.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. The contact stated that when driving in traffic, she moved forward and tried to depress the brake pedal. The brakes failed and she hit the rear of another vehicle. Before the failure she heard a slight noise a few times when applying the brake pedal. The contact sustained a minor injury. She did not speak with the dealer or the manufacturer at the time of the complaint. The vehicle had not been repaired to-date for the brake failure. . The current mileage was approximately 2,400. The failure mileage was 1,239.
Toyota corolla brakes needs to pressed forcefully to stop the car abruptly. Also when I slightly put the foot on the brake the car surges for about 1 second. This has occurred to me everytime I drive so that I have to press the brakes hard when I need to come to a stop.
