1 Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problem of the 2010 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 02/01/2010

I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla that I have recently purchased and been driving for approx 8 weeks. It has approximately 2400 miles on it. I have had several occasions since purchase where I have experienced my brakes locking and resulting in failing to stop. I have almost been rear-ended on several occasions, as well as almost rear-ending a vehicle in front of me. This mostly occurs when I go over a small bump or a pot hole. I have taken my car to the dealer to check this problem. No problems were found, and they were unable to duplicate the issue. However, within an hour of leaving the dealer I had the same problem where the brakes locked up when I went over a small bump in the road. I have heard about a similar problem with the Toyota prius. My vehicle is a 2010 Corolla. I have driven many cars over the areas where I drive my current vehicle with no similar braking failure issue. I am very concerned about the safety of driving this vehicle. Thank you.

2 Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problem of the 2010 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 01/28/2010

It was in a snow storm. I felt I had been keeping a safe distance from the car in front of me (I never had an accident prior). Cars ahead slowed down suddenly. I depressed the brake pedal, could feel abs was activated. But it could not stop the car soon enough, hit the car in front of me at the right tail light. Bumpers and tail light damaged.

3 Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problem of the 2003 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 03/11/2007

Under ideal nighttime road conditions (dry road and clear visibility), I swerved to avoid a collision with another vehicle on the freeway while traveling about 65 miles per hour. I missed hitting the other car, but when I applied the brakes, they locked up and put the car into a skid from which there was no recovering. The car spun out and came to rest after colliding with the center divider twice. The brakes should not have locked up, as this car is equipped with an antilock brake system (abs). If the abs had worked properly, I would have been able to maintain control of the vehicle and avoided the spin and contact with the center divider.
