2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2018

My car has 60k miles on it. I have two lights on my dash. I took my car in and was told it was the brake actuator. I seen several recalls on this but the Corolla is not listed???? I called Toyota customer solutions who told me that it would be for me to cover. I find this very frustrating that one a car that has 60k miles that this is an issue. Not to mention the price of the part I was given $3600!!!!.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2014

While driving northbound on interstate I-75 home during rush hour in the metro-detroit area, the vehicle sped up in excess of 90mph! I almost caused a collision. The gas pedal did not react to my foot not even being on the pedal! I braked and pumped the brake to only control my speed. When I finally got the vehicle to park, the engine was still running at a high rate like the engine was reacting to pressure on the gas pedal. The car smelled like smoke from the brake pad. If it wasn't for the brake pad, I might of been more severely injured or worse. I plan to take the vehicle back to the dealership and see what they can do. But please, please, please help my family and I out. . . . . We have a 2014 Corolla VIN # 2t1burhe0ec000577 , another 2008 Corolla VIN # 1nxbr32e68z040401 , and just recently a 2014 Toyota rav4 VIN # jtmrfrev2ed087902 . . . . . . . . . . . . It was a very scary ordeal. . . . I'm very concerned for the well being of my family driving these vehicles. I thought the issue was fix already????? maybe not.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/21/2014

As I was approaching a stop light, I began applying my brakes & slowing down. As I got closer to the vehicle in front of me I applied full pressure. My vehicle surged forward & I had the brake pedal completely to the floor. I could not swerve due to oncoming traffic. This resulted in me rear-ending the vehicle in front of me. I had only purchased the car a week before! I took the car into the dealership & explained what had happened. They checked out the braking system & said that it was working properly & they could find nothing wrong with it. This did not surprise me after reading the other complaints. As a result, I had to file with my insurance company which raised my rates. I am not happy about this! I have to drive 40 miles, one way, to work, and I am constantly fearing that it will happen again & that the results will be much worse. What recourse do I have?.
