I drive a 2010 Toyota Corolla. There is something wrong with the antilock brake system; especially if I am trying to apply the brake to slow the car and am making a right turn(even slightly turning right). It's like the brakes lock up and the steering gets like a mac truck. This also happens when I go over a bump and/or pothole. It most recently even happened when I was driving down the highway and there was a slight right curve in the road and I wasn't applying the brakes. I took the car into the dealership today and they could find nothing wrong. Within an hour of leaving the dealership; it happened twice yet they couldn't duplicate the problem. I have a brand new car and am afraid to drive it. Supposedly my car wasn't recalled for the gas pedal because it was made in japan but feel like the gas pedal is sticky at times. I am very upset because I just put all this money out and I have an unsafe vehicle to drive. My daughter and I were going to try and drive across country this summer and now we cannot possibly for we donot feel safe in this car. Toyota should have to buy back the vehicles. I believe there is a much bigger problem causing all this that they are not admitting and/or have not found yet. I didn't complain or take the car back right away because I had similar problems with the scion xd and was told there was nothing wrong again and again. This is an ongoing problem.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. While driving approximately 50 to 55 mph on normal road conditions pressure was applied to the brake pedal, followed by no power response. The driver was able slow down after several attempts. The failures occurred on seven occasions. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for the identical failures. A technician recommended replacement of the anti-lock brake system. The vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction at this time. The failure mileage and VIN were unavailable.

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.

I was driving between 30 and 35 mph on a back paved road when a buck ran out in front of my vehicle. I pushed my brakes all the way down to the floor but the car wouldn't stop. I pushed them again and the car still wouldn't stop. I ended up hitting a ditch and rolling my car on its side. The mechanic could not find a problem with the abs. I had 2 goodyear tires (the car had less than 2500 miles) that blew out. Airbags deflated upon impact.

While driving consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. Consumer was unable to maintain control of the vehicle, and it hit the guard rail and flipped over three times. Upon impact, both frontal air bags did not deploy. Driver sustained injuries, and was transported by ambulance to a hospital. Vehicle was towed to the dealer.

Car skidded when brakes applied while steering onto an exit ramp (to the right). Dry pavement - sunny afternoon. It felt like the brakes locked-- car supposedly has abs. Luckily, the car hit curb only. No visible damage to car.

Abs locked up when I tapped on car seemed to accelerate making the car skid and fish tail sending me 4 lanes across the freeway into the cement barrier totaling my car.

When I applied the brake during a raining day, my car suddenly went to the side. This kind of scenario happened twice before ( on local streets while driving around 20 miles per hour). I felt that this car's brake system was different from that of the other cars I owned before. Shouldn't the anti-brake system help the car stay straight on the road? on 09-20-2002, it was raining, I drove this car on the highway at the speed around 50 miles per hour, on the first left lane. After I applied the brake in order to reduce the speed further, my car went to the right side, and then left side, and then crashed to the middle concrete. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768012.

While driving about any mph, could step on the brakes to stop or to reduce speed of vehicle, but instead could hear noise coming from brakes. Dealer was contacted, please provide more information.

While engine is running if foot is on brake releasing the clutch vehicle jumps forwards. Dealership is aware of problem.

Driver was trying to park the car, thus the car was travelling at very low speed. Car suddenly surged after the driver applied the brake. Car went over the cement tire stopper, up a small hill, hit a wall, and stopped. This cannot possibly have been caused by the driver hitting the accelerator pedal. This is a serious safety problem. We will contact the dealer and the manufacturer on July 16, 2001.

Brakes squeaking and grinding, replace all four brakes.

While making a normal stop the pedal went to the floor, causing, extended stopping distance. Dealer unable to determine the cause . Please provide any further details.

Intermittently when brakes are applied brake pedal becomes soft and goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has been notified.

When driving 20 mph and upon depressing brake pedal to make a normal stop vehicle continued to accelerate which caused a rear end collision. Vehicle caught on fire due to battery leaking. Also, passenger's side seat belt did not lock which forced the passenger into the windshield. Vehicle was a total loss. Please provide any further details.

When stepping on the brakes, the front brakes make a very load clank. Load enough for people to turn and look at you. I took it to the dealer I purchased the car from , and they said all 1997 Toyota Corollas do this, and that it was normal,they said there were no problems with my brakes. Now when I go got stop,I feel like its getting harder to stop. If you could rsvp me I'd appreciate it . Thank you.

Consumer's vehicle was traveling about 55mph on and another vehicle veered into it. Consumer applied brakes, and anti- lock braking system didn't kick in. Dealership was aware of problem.

I visited several Toyota dealers because I am helping a friend in bying a new Corolla. Despite I advise her to include the safety fetaures: side airbags and abs no dealear make them available if not increasing the lease by 50% (while the increase in value is about 10%) and asking to wait 3 months. Making so practically impossible to have them. Some dealers reached the point to say that those items are not available on the Corolla. Such a behaviour it is not acceptable. Car manufacturers are supposed to promote the sensibility toward safety not to boycott it.
