I don't want my child in a dangerous situation. I don't want lose my hard earned money for the faulty vehicle. I will only be satisfied if the toyota headquarter authorize the nearest dealer to replace my current toyota corolla…

    While driving my 2009 toyota corolla is slow moving traffic, maybe 20mph i was braking and realized that i was getting close to the toyota tundra in front of me. And it frightened me because i almost hit the truck. I had to press my brake pedal all the way to the floor it didn't seem like it was grabbing and it made an awful noise and i stopped just shy of hitting the tundra. I made a call to toyota last year but i…

    While driving our 2009 toyota corolla on a slick, snow-covered roadway, a vehicle in front of my wife stopped rather quickly. She was traveling about 15-20 miles per hour, upon braking, the anti-lock brakes kicked in and seemed to completely disengage the brakes. The anti-lock brakes fired slowly, the pedal strongly resisted being pressed and the car kept on going, she had to swerve into a gas station to avoid…

    This is for a 2009 toyota corolla le. Sometimes, after i hit the brakes, the car seems to stop gradually and the front wheels tend to shake heavily. (almost seems like the wheels are going to fall off). I took it to the dealer and they said that it could have been the abs kicking in. I am still not satisfied by the dealers remedy. They basically did nothing. The problem happens mostly on wet surfaces and light snow.…
