general problems of the 2011 Toyota Corolla

The accident happened in the house-attached garage. I already entered the garage, and the car is almost stopped. Then I need to hit the brake thoroughly to fully stop the car. I hit the brake pedal however the car accelerated suddenly, jumped ahead and crash into the house wall. Even though everything happened in a second, I'm sure that it it the larger pedal(which is the brake) I engaged with in that second. I have driven this car for 3 years, and parked in this garage for months. So I'm pretty familiar with the car and the place. Luckily, there is no people got injured, and the air bag didn't explode. The wall was hit significantly, and the front of my car was damaged.

Brakes warped after less than 60,000 miles. Cause shaking of the car when brakes are applied.

The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

My car seems to be accelerating as opposed to braking when I apply brake at very low speeds (around 20 mph). I noticed it first in October 2014 and thought it was random incident or my misjudgment. Later that year and in the following year my wife complained about the same thing when she was driving. Fortunately we haven't had any accidents or crashes in this vehicle so far.

I am currently finding out in a check out of my vehicle brakes /alignment by an different source mechanically since oct. 13, 2011, [xxx]. That the corrections to my faulty/defect brakes at purchase contributed to my having of an front/rear alignments problems now. My vehicle sit up month to month, in my distrust of the faulty/defect brakes repair work. Certainly, cannot have of an front/rear alignment from sitting up month to month.

I bought a used 2011 Toyota Corolla from beaver Toyota in santa fe, new mexico in September 2012. From the beginning I noticed a slight hesitation while driving. It felt like all of a sudden the car would slow down for just a couple of seconds, like a delay of some kind. I took it to the dealer and they felt nothing. It kept happening and I took it back and they drove and felt nothing. Finally, I was driving back from church in the daytime, thank god, and it just stalled like someone has just unplugged it (and its not electric) and all the engine lights came on and I made it to the emergency lane scared to death. I called aaa and they said let it sit for few minutes and try again and it started right up. He suggested I drive to a service station but it was Sunday and no one was open. I went into the dealer later that week and they didn't feel anything, no hesitation at all. I kept feeling it and my roommate drove it once thought she felt something. Took to back again and sat 5 hours while they ran diagnostics and said it showed nothing. They did replace a bolt I noticed the head had broken off on the license plate . . . Just mentioned in passing & that was $110 because the service rep said they had to drill thru the back plate to remove and put in new one! I would have never agreed to that. I looked on line and found an indpendant Toyota authorized repair shop that had great reviews and went there. Toy automan. They took me in at my appt time, one hour later the nice owner came out and handed me a release from Toyota dated September 6, 2011 that stated 2011 Corollas may exhibit a "monetary rpm decrease above 40 mph and/or reduced engine braking". I'm so tired of going into this dealer and getting nowhere. They had to know about this notice from Toyota and I must be naive realizing that a Toyota service dept. Would put a customer in danger for money. Help!.

Approx. A week after this vehicle was purchased it was involved in a crash on 08/29/2011. This vehicle was crashed due to an higher than usual rev which delays the time for a vehicle to come to a stop. The rev on this vehicle does not decline sometimes when releasing the accelerator. The vehicle came with Toyota car so I have went to the Toyota dealership many times to have a multi point inspection and they said everything was perfectly fine. They were unable to "duplicate" the issue. Feeling like there is nothing I could do I gave up and just continued to drive it with extra caution and make payments on my lease till the term was over. About a year later at 11,000 on my recent service visit the Toyota mechanic told me I needed new brakes. He stated that this was unusual at this mileage and brakes should be fine, but on my car the brakes were completely gone. Now I have about 12,800 miles, and the engine revving is starting to interfere with my ability to control the speed of my vehicle. The excessive engine rev is the culprit that causes my brakes being used heavily. After I release the accelerator the car continues to accelerate and the brake has to work extra hard to stop the car. I have contacted south east Toyota finance and they just empathized with my situation. When I went to the dealership the mechanic took three hours to look at the car and referred me to a sales representative who tried to sell me a new 2013 Toyota Corolla to resolve the issue. I refused to buy a new car and left the dealership. I am not an mechanic but I suspect it has something to do with the computer that controlling the speed, which is causing my speed to not decrease. This causes the brakes to take an extra load and causes first and second gear to conflict at times. This issue is getting worse as times goes by.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45 and current mileage was 551.

When car hits bumps frame on car makes a noise . Also you can see it give or move. Car has a tough ride to it for a le model. Bottom of seat on car is to short. Brake pedal and accelerator pedal is to far to the right it needs to be alittle more to left also their to close together. Makes seat bottom to the right (needs to be straighter)to match pedals. I think dashboard is to low. The body noises happen more with one person in the car. Also on hot days and very cold days dash has a crack sound to it. The car is quieter on rainy days like a normal car.
