1 Air Brake problem of the 2010 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 03/27/2012

I was driving at about 35 mph on a road that has a speed limit of 45 mph. I went to stop for a line of traffic when I pushed my brake pedal the brake went to the floor. It didn't even slow me down. I hit the SUV in front of me then my car (with my foot still on the brake) accelerated forward and hit the SUV again and again before coming to a complete stop. I have had my car into the dealership 3 prior occasions to get the same condition fixed. I bought my car from said dealership, brand new, a little over a year ago.

2 Air Brake problem of the 2009 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 02/21/2011

I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla le that I purchased a month ago and is still under factory warranty. A few days ago I went to stop my vehicle and the brake pedal went all the way flush to the ground. There was not any resistance at all and was forced to use the emergency brake to prevent a colision. Had car towed to the Toyota dealership and two days later they are informing me that they are unable to find anything wrong with the breaks. I purchased this vehicle for my 17 year old daughter to drive to school and am very weary about being told that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. I then began to research on the computer to see if this might be a recalled item or if anyone else has had this simular problem. Well sure enough there have been several Toyota Corolla owners with the same year that have had the same problem that I experienced. I would apprecite if someone could check into this for not only me but ofr everyone's safety.

3 Air Brake problem of the 2005 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 02/21/2011

I am 76 years old. Own 2005 Toyota Corolla with 30k miles. Took my car to dealershipfor routine servicing and oil change. Was told I had break fluid contamination and it would cost $2200. The 2005 Toyota avalon and highlanders were recalled for break fluid leaks. Could it be possible my car had the same problem?.

4 Air Brake problem of the 2004 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 01/01/2011

I drive a 2004 Toyota Corolla and I have had many incidents of unintended acceleration. In every case it has been in winter, which is when I wear large soled boots. It is simply a matter of the brake being placed too close to the accelerator so that if I step on the right side of the brake my boot simultaneously depresses the accelerator. My car is manual transmission so there is also a clutch. I don't know if the brake and accelerator are particularly close together in a manual transmission model. I have never had an accident but it is somewhat alarming when it happens and I can imagine someone who does not understand why it is happening having an accident. Or I could too -- the natural response upon unintended acceleration is to continue depressing the brake, which in this case just continues the acceleration. I am including a date below because it is required to send the form. In fact I have no idea of the dates but it happens a couple of time per year.

5 Air Brake problem of the 2010 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 04/26/2010

As I applied the brakes on my 2010 Toyota Corolla, the vehicle seemed to momentarily surge before slowing down. This has happened on other occasions as well. The duration of the surging sensation is very brief.

6 Air Brake problem of the 2010 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 03/01/2010

I have a brand new 2010 Toyota Corolla which has only 700+ miles on it. Today, on my way to get lunch, my brakes slipped twice within 5 minutes of each other. The 2010 Corolla definitely should be part of the brake problem recall.

7 Air Brake problem of the 2009 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 10/16/2009

My wife has experianced brake fade, brake failure and inconsistant braking with her 2009 Corolla. I have noted that this seems to be related to temperature, humidity and warmup of the operating system. The situation was briefly improved after the previous recall for the brake boostedr problem but returned in 60 days. Toyota seems to not care about this issue.

8 Air Brake problem of the 2009 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 09/15/2008

2009 Toyota Corolla - gas pedal sticking problem while on the family driveway traveling at about 5 miles per hour, car rapidly accelerated forward after I removed my foot from the gas pedal. Pushing the brake down as hard as I could the car continued traveling forward crashing into my daughter's car, then pushing her car through the right side of the garage door & through the house wall completely damaging my daughter's car (totaled) destroying the garage door while smashing down that portion of the house wall. And then further inside colliding into a large dryer & washing finally coming to rest against an inside house wall beam & concrete. My daughter was almost hit as she was on the other side of the wall when the cars crashed through. We've always maintained that it was Toyota's fault as it was without question, a case of unintended acceleration--the car rapidly accelerated forward on its own, but Toyota insisted it was not the cause of their car. Toyota, at my cost and our insurance company, state farm, made all the repairs to the car--Toyota refused to take liability for involvement with the cause of the accident. So there we were, who could refute mighty Toyotathey were the premier car company & they made almost perfect cars. Obviously with their 2nd recall in a matter of months that image has now been somewhat dispelled. In speaking with Toyota today I was advised that my Corolla would not be included in their recall as I was advised that the pedal assembly in my car was manufactured in japan by nipo-denso and not the pedal assembly involved with the so-called sticking gas pedal problem, as that assembly, was manufactured in the united states by cts. While I appreciate what Toyota stated about different assemblies, I can state unequivocally my car accelerated forward even though I was pressing the brake pedal the hold time while the car raced forward. No one incurs such damage pressing the brakes. I would ask for your review and comments.

Even though oil was changed every 55 to 7500 mls. 3 weeks later while driving on hwy car suddenly started accelerating on its own, when I tried to slow it down the brakes did not work.

I then threw car in park and cut engine off in order to avoid injuring someone else or myself . Smoke poured from under hood. Had towed to dealer could not duplicate said their was nothing wrong! 2nd incident 3 days after getting car back took to dealer again and they once again said could not duplicate and that they found no problem!this car almost killed me and is very dangerous!!!!.
