My 2014 toyota corolla le is a lease I picked up in december 2013 & now has 3641 miles on it. I first noticed this issue with the brakes within first month but felt because the 2011 corolla I just turned in was a different model (not le) & many changes in 2014 model that perhaps I should give it more time. The problem is when I stop at a traffic light I must put a lot of pressure on brake pedal & press it down to the floor as far as it will go otherwise car will start to roll. I had it checked several times at toyota dealers & no one can find anything wrong so I've been living with it. Last week I had a chance to drive a different 2014 toyota corolla & brake reactions different I did not have to press down on the brake pedal as hard or as far as I do with mine. On 3/17/2015 I brought my car into toyota dealer for brakes check only & tech checked system for codes (?) & did test drive by himself & stated he did not notice anything wrong, then he did test drive with me driving to see if I could 'recreate' the issue & although this tech admitted he could see I had the brake pedal pushed down to the floor the rolling at light did not occur (of course).the tech told me as far as the other 2014 corolla's brake pedal reactions that toyota might have drum brakes on it (?) & my car has disc brakes.the tech also told me there is nothing they can do to adjust, fix or repair disc brakes(?) will have to take his word for it. In any event I was told me to keep a watch if it happens again, also if car is cold or hot & sometimes car will roll automatically at a light due to A/C going on & off & regulating itself (will have to take tech's word).the only thing I know is at a stop light if I don't hold that brake pedal down hard & as far to the floor as I can the car will roll which to me is dangerous; haven't hit anyone or anything but to me this doesn't seem normal or right to me.
I was pulling into my driveway at 1 mile per hour and I put my foot on the brake to stop my car and it wouldn't stop! The engine revved up and my car went through my fence into my backyard. I tried in vain to stop my car, I kept pressing down on my brake, (5 times) with no success. I finally put my automatic transmission into park and it finally came to a stop. I was extremely shaken up since I thought I was going to die! I checked my car for damages, I noticed that my passenger side view mirror was damaged and there was other damage under my car. My car is only 3 months old and has 950 miles on it. I have been driving for over 30 years and I have never encountered anything like this. This happened on november 27, 2014, thanksgiving day at 10:00 am. The weather conditions were cloudy with a temperature of 34 degrees.
While driving on a highway in stop and go traffic, the brakes on the vehicle failed. Even with the brake pedal pressed completely, the car continued to move forward. I was fortunately able to swerve into the shoulder and pull the emergency brake, and there was no incident. However, the toyota dealership was not able to find the root cause of the incident and it seems like nothing was wrong. They tested out the brakes and everything seemed technically fine. I was told that they wouldn't be able to do anything unless they could recreate the incident and understand what went wrong. I'm now just driving the car and hoping the situation is never recreated because next time, I might not be lucky enough to get away without any incident.
