I was driving on the interstate and took an exit. Attempted to apply the brakes, and there was a grinding noise. The vehicle did not stop and hit another vehicle at the stoplight.
The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that when the brakes was depressed, there would be a pulsation and a grinding noise coming from the front and rear brakes. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Any time you go over any bump or hit any pothole, the brakes become very spongy feeling. When you push the breaks, they feel very bumpy (almost like there are rocks in between the drum and the pads and it makes a grinding noise. Sometimes it even acts like it doesn't want to stop at all. As soon as you left off of them and reapply them, it is fine. It only happens if you go over something that is bumpy that causes any kind of jolt to the car. We took it to the dealer but they could not duplicate the problem. I am about to take it back again because it is still doing it.
I have made complaints do the dealership during multiple 5000 mile check ups on my brake grinding. When stopping on uneven surfaces or wet surface my brakes will periodically make a grinding noise which I can feel a vibration up through the pedal that shakes my leg. Passengers can feel and hear these incidence as well. However, the dealership cannot duplicate this problem when the vehicle is being serviced and therefore they see no problem. On today's visit I have requested a brake system check which I was informed that the only thing they could find was the abs when pressing brakes hard. However this incident happens to me when I am coming to a slow stop not when drastically pressing the brakes. I was not satisfied with this and there was nothing more they could say but this is what it is and there's nothing they do about it.
Grinding noise coming out of the front brakes due to warpage in the front rotors.
