Tl the contact owns a 2010 Toyota Corolla. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle accelerated rapidly on its own. The brake pedal was depressed, but the brakes failed to respond. As a result, the contact crashed into a wall and the air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained bruises to the arms and right knee, which did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer (adriel Toyota, carr 693 km 1. 0, cruce DE la virjencita, dorado, pr 00646, 1 787-626-3838) where it was diagnosed that the brake pads needed to be replaced.

At approxamately 0600 on the above date I experienced a violent and near uncontrolable momentary disrupture of the abs/esc systems of my 2010 Toyota Corolla. Vehicle shook violently, steering locked and abs and esc control lights on dash lit up while I was making the trasition from ih37 south to ih35 south in san antonio, TX. I was able to regain control by letting off of the brakes and throttle thus coasting through the left hand turn and bearly missing the retaining wall. This is not the first time this has happened, the first was only days after purchase of car. Local dealer maintenance personnel stated "we can't find anything wrong with the car. " during the warrenty period the problem has been brought to the attention of mccollums Toyota five other times all with the same "we can't find anything wrong" reply. Conplaints of soft brake pedal brought a simular "that's normal" retort each time the vehicle was in for service. After the warrenty expired, front rotors and pads were replaced because they were found to have worn/groved approxamately 1/8" deep per side (not reported by dealer), not from metal to metal contact but just wear from pads friction material. Pads still had 1/2" of fricion material on each. Replacement of rotors and pads from auto zone made things better until now. Request abs/esc software be checked on all 2008 to 2012 Corolla/sion tc models along with check of materials used in pads and the rotors. Oem rotors taken off car will be available until 15 Jan 2012. 36,000 miles on a set of rotors and pads are a little extreme when I have over 125,000 on my gm's rotors and 165,000 on my Ford's rotors with pads needing replacement around 45 to 55 k.
