Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2009 Toyota Corolla

The break stopped working. I had almost gotten into a car accident. Fortunately, I hit a close donation metal container and was able to stop the car. I have my car checked out by a mechanic and the issue is not related to break pads and/or rotor. It is a due to a manufacturing related issue; hydraulic:power assist:vacuum. I have stopped driving the vehicle and I would like to get it towed for a recall service to darcars Toyota dealer in silver spring MD where I bought the car. This model and year is under recall for breaks but not in the state of MD or DC. You can reach me at (240) 460-2960 or akirubel@gmail. Com.

I bought this car used with 18,000 miles on it in July of 2010. And I have all service done at a Toyota dealer. At 25,975 miles, replaced the front brakes, machined rotors, brake fluid flush, cleaned and adjusted rear brakes(1/28/12). (brake pedal felt soft). At 37,966 miles , replaced the front brakes again(12/21/12). Pads lasted 11,991 miles! at 55,662 miles, replaced the front brakes, machined rotors again(2/20/2014). Pads lasted 17,696 miles! since I do mainly highway driving, I feel that there is a defect associated with the front brake abnormal wear. Also, at 50,548 replaced #2 steering shaft assembly. At, 50,691 replaced alternator. At 55,662 replaced water pump, coolant and drive belt.

My 2009 Toyota Corolla sport has been having brake issues since I bought the vehicle about 3 months ago brand new with only 6 miles on it. It started with brake noises. Both me and my girlfriend heard them. We are not deaf. I took my Toyota in for service on the problem twice and both times they said nothing was wrong with my vehicle. The past week I've noticed the breaking has been really difficult and you have to push down hard to stop the vehicle. So today; my third brake complaint they told me I need new rotors and that the pads are worn down the metal on metal and that the rotors were "glazed" over from the extreme heat. New rotors and third set of brake pads at 11,000 miles? never heard of it! somethings wrong and Toyota will not admit it.

2009 Toyota Corolla s brakes were failing to stop sound as if brakes were metal to metal. Loud grinding nose and uneven contact with brake disc. Two accidents were barely avoided because vehicle inability to stop in a reasonable distance. Excessive pressure was put on to the pedal to finally bring vehicle to a stop. Car was taken to the dealership and a determination was made that the vehicle had over 60%of pad wear left. We immediately took it to an outside mechanic which determined that the rotor had become uneven warped and cupped in several places and the pads deteriorating and were defective. We had both replaced at an expense of over 500. 00.

This letter was dated and sent june132009 steering, brakes and/or suspension of my 2009 Toyota Corolla le, 4 door sedan. With a mileage of 11,682 to date. Toyota motor sales, u. S. A. , inc. , this letter is in regards to the recent road handling of my Toyota Corolla (listed herein). I purchased this vehicle to replace my 1995 Toyota avalon as a vehicle to drive to and from work. I drive quite a distance to work having put on 8000 miles on this car in only 3 â½ months of ownership. Our family car is a 2007 matrix xr. We are obviously fans of Toyota vehicles. This past week the bishop Ford highway, which is part of my route to work in chicago, was scraped prior to a resurfacing of the road. This left a stretch of road which was very rough and with deep wavy grooves cut into the pavement. When my car crossed into the scraped section of pavement my car lurched about a foot to the right (without the steering wheel moving). This alarmed me as it could have caused an accident but the steering recovered under normal conditions but I realized something was wrong or loose in the front end. My warranty was coming due (12,000 bumper to bumper) and the car does handle well for the most part and I need the car for work so I figured I would wait a few days until the weekend to have it fixed along with the brakes which are starting to feel spongy. New pads are probably needed on the front end. I will have them checked independently this week and pay the out of pocket expense (even though this should have been covered under the warranty, even if the brake pads are close to being in need of replacement at this point). Our service department at Toyota on 30 in merrillville indiana did not find any problem with the brakes and the road handling could not be duplicated by their mechanics. I am a very experienced driver at age 45 with not even a parking ticket to my name. If there is a serious flaw. . .
