Abs and brake light turned on together. This is turning out to be a very common issue which is due to the corrosion of the sensors on the rare wheels. With abs light turned on, the vehicle is incapable of applying abs when required during brake, creating a high safety concern. *tr

I have had this corolla for about 3 years, average about 700 miles per week - drive it daily. I have had no significant issues with it until the past month or so in which i have experienced two "sudden acceleration" events. In both cases i was traveling at a very low speed, about 10 mph or so in parking lots. While coasting / braking with my foot on the brake pedal, suddenly it was as if the brake pedal turned into…

The accident with my 2009 toyota corolla i believe is due to brake failure. This vehicle has many feature that were supposed to react in situations of minor ice and/or sliding. The sliding light, or "vsc/trac indicator" (pg. 158 of owner's manual), comes on even when the vehicle slides. Even when the car slides so slightly that you cannot feel it, that light would come on to warn the driver of the potential hazard,…

Bought used 2009 toyota corolla (5 speed manual clutch) vehicle in mid 2011. Noticed that the gas pedal, brake and clutch are oddly very close, and gas pedal seems to stick, which seems to cause error in shifting/ acceleration/ de-acceleration, especially when using in between gears. Not sure what that is all about, or whether or not there has been a prior complaint about this or recall, but i think it should be…

Then the check engine light came on. I turned off the car first. I…

However, when the brake pedal was pushed, i heard a grinding noise and the car did not decelerate at…

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla in january 2009. I thought the brakes were a little sluggish and expressed that to the salesman. He said they were fine so i thought i just needed to get used to them. I had no other problem in 2009. In january of 2010, on two occasions, i experienced episodes in which the brakes failed. The problem was that they would hold and then slip several times before the car came to a stop.…

My car is a 2009 toyota corolla which is on the recall list. I had gone to them two day before the actual recall, because each time i would encounter a down slope or go down a hill, my car would sound like it was idling up and grinding as if it wanted to take off. It had been service a week before this happened; however, the sound of my brakes scared me so i took it back in twice. They still insisted nothing was…
