Service Brakes Problems of Toyota Corolla - part 2

I had to replace all four tires before reaching 40k miles. Brakes needed to be fully replaced with only two years of driving it. And engine maintenance light on for an issue with the coolant bypass valve, not covered under warranty. This is causing issues with the engine, when driving even at 25 miles per hour or at 65 the car sounds like its dragging or forcing itself, the wheel shake & car feels unbalanced even with a tire alignment. Overall I give the car a 2. 5 out 5 star in performance. The body of the car is so fragile and made by very cheap materials. Spending a fortune on this vehicle and it hasnt even reached 60k miles yet.

The automatic engine shut off failed. Normally when stopped the engine shuts off and restarts when pressing the gas. It did not do that and instead turned the vehicle completely off. I was waiting for traffic at an intersection to make a left hand turn when my vehicles engine shut off. Interior lights flashed and alarm sounded. Dashboard said engine was off and to press break firmly to restart. It did not work. Also had a power steering warning. I had to put the car in park and restart the vehicle. In the mean time the light had turned red and I was in the middle of the intersection at night, in the rain with a stalled vehicle that I bought last week and has less than 500 miles. A car nearly hit us as I put my hazard lights on and restarted the vehicle. My kids were in the car, it put not only ourselves in danger but also other vehicles on the road. I have not been able to reproduce the incident but it is at the dealership now. There were no symptoms of the incident prior to. I just went to turn and the car went nuts with lights and warnings and the engine was completely off and had to be restarted… in the middle of a busy intersection. I see several other complaints and even videos where it did the exact same thing. This is for sure a safety issue.

I was going to work on 12/15/2022. There was a stop sign and I needed to take a right turn in order to join the freeway-10 east highway to head on to work. It was about 6: 40 am approximate time. There were too many cars ahead of me at the stop sign. My brakes failed to hold on while I waited for my turn. There were at least 3-4 cars ahead of me. Therefore I did not want to hurt anyone or any other car ahead of me. Therefore I veered off to my right-hand side where there was some space and tried to stop the car but it did not do so. Therefore, my car had to hit the high-way pole to come to a stop. The airbags deployed and hit me more to my right side. The car got totaled as per California casualty insurance information. I am glad to be alive. I went later to the hospital as there were no direct visible injuries.

While operating our 2020 Toyota Corolla hybrid at a slow speed in a parking lot, we began to apply the brakes as we pulled into a parking stall. As the brakes were applied , the vehicle suddenly lunged forward with abrupt force. Both tires left acceleration marks on the painted concrete curb and the vehicle struck a large concrete pillar with such force that the pillar was partially dislodged from the ground. The vehicle was brought to a Toyota dealership and the sales management was notified of the incident. We also filed complaint with the Toyota corporation. We were contacted by a Toyota corporation representative and were told that they would conduct the vehicle inspection. Several weeks later we received a letter from the Toyota corporation legal department which informed us of their findings. The letter conveyed that no defect was discovered and the incident had not been captured in the vehicle's computer. We informed the Toyota dealership of the results. The only assistance offered was their willingness to sell the vehicle at auction, which we adamantly declined. At this time we are making arrangements to have the vehicle towed to a recycling lot for destruction.

Our 19 corrolla failed to start after a long drive. After recall repairs for airbags and fuel pump diagnostics were completed at the j. Allen Toyota dealership in gulfport, ms, the technicians found the issue to be the hydraulic brake booster pump: internal module circuit failure. Codes p1585 and p1586 are for reference. That subsequently blew the injection 1 and 2 fuses. The technician there told us that three other vehicles had the same issue and problems. This incident, fortunately, occurred at a relative's house and not on the roadway which could possibly result in a brake or engine failure that may cause injuries. There were no warning lights previous to or during this incident.

Front passenger side brake caliper was rusted and seized. At the time of this issue the car is two years old and had 40k miles. The car has lived its entire life in western north carolina with me being its only owner. It has never been driven in salty conditions other than twice to the beach. The dealership refused to fix this safety issue under the platinum warranty I purchased because it is "enviromental". This is a major safety concern. I have a 1997 suburban which gets drove in salty conditions every winter and has never one had an issue with its calipers or any operational part rusting.

2020 Toyota Corolla epb (electronic parking brake) issue. The message "epb shift interlock function activated" is being shown since last few months. This message never appeared in the past 2. 5 yrs since I purchased the car, started showing up up only now. I took it to the dealership and they asked to keep brakes pressed while starting the car. I now keep my brakes pressed and start the car, and still I keep getting this error message. . Read more...

Vehicle speed control / sudden unintended acceleration. This was not a "misapplication of pedal" by driver! it was clearly a mechanical failure—apparently accelerator pedal (not floor mat, which was secured on its pegs). No warning lamp, msg, symptom prior to crash. Afterward, saw NHTSA rpts others fixed speed control issue & same prob still recurred! my VIN wasn't listed as unrepaired (likely the original owner repaired recall issue/s)—yet car was still dangerous! at slow speed, approx 1-2 mph, I was entering my garage in usual way, turning r. Car abruptly sped up uncontrollably (self-accelerated); couldn't stop it! crashed thru garage doorpost & wall, then backyard fence. Lucky I'm alive & no one in yard. Very traumatic! physical injury (neck/back) helped by ibuprofen. Fwiw air bag didn't deploy. Aaa said they'd only tow for repair, not inspection. I wasn't going to repair; I'd never trust driving that car again & wouldn't sell to anyone to drive, due to grave concern same issue'd recur! available for inspection at picknpull, moss landing, CA. Pnp corp agreed they'd haul away only for its other parts—order taker understood it had untrusted accelerator pedal / vehicle speed control. They also promised me they wouldn't let anyone drive it! of 2009 Corolla NHTSA's 1,523 rpts, "vehicle speed control" is 3rd highest, far > nearly all other rpts. Below, a few of many related examples. (note: dates may be either report or incident dates. ) 10/26/21 NHTSA #11438174; 5/31/17 #10992371; 7/16/16 #10885246 ("car was repaired under recall. . .

My brakes seem to malfunction when engaged after hitting potholes and/or street depressions. This has occurred on kensington street east of church avenue. This is between church avenue and dale mabry highway among other streets. My safety was put at risk as I felt the brakes were not going to hold or stop the vehicle. No, it has not been attempted to be duplicated. When my brakes were inspected, I was told everything was fine. It seemed no one was interested in driving the vehicle over a pothole and/or street depression. Why would it be inspected when a Toyota dealership and firestone reported my brakes were fine without duplicating the situation in which I had a problem. No warning lights, lamps, messages. My 2 front tires continully lose air down to 28 and 29 psi from the 32psi. I will be taking the car back to firestone for them to check the two front tires that I purchased from them. In case something happens to me or others reporting this problem, I wanted proof I informed you of the issue I had.

Recently my car was in an accident involving 2 other vehicles. An SUV in front of me rear-ended someone and then I rear-ended the SUV. We were in heavy traffic at a major intersection and were stopped at a red light. The light turned green and we began to move. We were accelerating from a stop and were maybe approaching 10 -15 mph. Traffic started to back up at the next light and so the first car stopped suddenly so as not to block the intersection. Then the driver in front of me crashed into that car. He was on his phone, not looking, and didn't have time to brake. I was about 2-3 car lengths behind when he came to a complete stop. I was also still accelerating, as were most cars, since the light had just turned green. As soon as the vehicle in front of me hit the other car and stopped moving, I immediately applied my brakes. Based on the distance I believe I should have been able to stop. I remember thinking there was plenty of room. Except that the abs came on and, instead of stopping my car before hitting the object in front of me (because the car is also capable of doing that), it just continued to let my car slide right into the back of the vehicle in front of me. I was then "at fault" according to my insurance company despite my explanation of the details. This led to a $500 deductible for repairs and an increase in my insurance rate. I honestly believe that the abs should not have activated in that situation. If the car is able to recognize and even stop for objects in front of it, why would it let me slide into another car? I've had similar situations with my other cars in the past and they always stopped quickly, often avoiding this very situation. To summarize, I feel that the antilock brake system in my car failed to act in a safe and appropriate manner, thus causing an increased risk of damage or injury to the vehicle and passengers. In my case it resulted in damage to my car and a lot of extra money to cover those damages. Thank you.

When it's wet on the road or raining my car deploys and I lose control I've been telling the dealer ship since the first day I had this car they told me it's nothing yesterday when it was raining my car did it again also u I called to have my recall fixed and they said there was not any in my car??? this car is a risk I'm going to kill myself driving this car or get hurt I had 3 rental cars because I am scared to drive this car 818-272-1032.

My 17 year old daughter got into a car accident on 01/27/2021, she pressed on the brakes but they did not engage causing her to hit another vehicle on a neighborhood side street.

1. Experienced sudden acceleration problem at a signal light 2. To control sudden acceleration, need to push brakes harder than a non hybrid car 3. In the reverse direction, it goes too fast without pushing the gas, this may cause a crash missing extra tire and the accessories (jack, lug wrench, other tools etc) even though there is a slotted place holder there. (shame on Toyota for doing this, to order a new kit this will cost approx $1,500 per missing kit, if you were to order individually, this can potentially be a serious personal safety issue if you're in a bad neighborhood and waiting for tow truck vs quickly change the tire and leave) 4. Cheap soft tires, got a screw within 2 months? called Toyota , towing is free, but you must pay for the flat repair or buy a new tire (about $250) every time there is flat as you do not have extra tire, jack, lug wrench. (this can be racketeering - shame on Toyota for doing this) 5. 2nd car (2021 hybrid) came with the low brake fluid levels, close to the low/middle vs brand new car with new brakes, fluid level should be close to maximum. (shame on Toyota for doing this and playing cheap, besides safety issue) 6. To repair flat tire, the air pump and glue kit is a joke, this doesn't work - Toyota should provide non-flat able tires before this genius mickey-mouse invention. (shame on Toyota for doing this).

Was on a head on collision the air bags failed to open no breaks or indication that the breaks were failing. Once the vehicle was in the shop shortly after the battery exploded sed . Now the care is totally for all the frond end damage and the cost of the batter would be ten thousand dollars. I was driving interstate 15 in riverside California rear end the car in front.

This vehicle when it's impacted there's really no help or assistance to get the vehicle removed off your property on the vehicle is a hazard it really needs to be retested and there needs to be someone to know that it's not safe for children and being this vehicle a lot of times it's kids slides and it doesn't have the front part of the vehicle is impacted bad and it's hard to get the car replaced by the manufacturer in thewayenough restraint so that you can take your kids a little faster in the car without answering them it's also a hazard because only certain drivers know how to operate it and it's not always safe to have this car out and about without issues or malfunction.

On 11/19/20 the car accelerated and brakes stuck when turning right at about 5-10 miles to the parking space at jalapenos restaurant, 450 e 1st st tustin CA 92780. Car stopped because the bar on the ground prevented the car from moving forward! it scared the hell out of me, it left me shacking!.
