While applying the brakes (2009 toyota corolla le 38,000miles) on the snow or slick condition road the wheels would constantly stop/rotate as soon i would press on the brake pedal and prevented me from stopping until the car slid into a dry spot, curb, or snow bank. It seemed as if the brakes were over sensitive causing the brakes to immediately respond with the constant stop/rotate. For a couple of snow falls…

When starting to operate the vehicle for the first time of the day, and it is cold out, when backing out of the driveway and applying the brakes, the rear brakes make very loud clunking noises like something is broken inside the brake assemblies on both rear wheels. I feel as if the brakes are failing, and this could possibly lead to something worse in the future. *tr

I purchased a 2009 toyota corolla in november 2009. I had issues with the brakes slipping to the floor 2 weeks after purchase. This would happen when i would try to slow the car down or come to a stop. It happened sporadically. I had many near collisions and went off the road into snowbanks several times to avoid hitting other cars. Toyota kept saying nothing is wrong with the car after checking the brakes. In…

As an owner of 2009 corolla i'm very concerned about recall for brake failure in extremely low temperatures. Toyota has limited its recall and repair of this problem only to certain states. I live in nw indiana, less than 4 miles from illinois state line. Illinois owners will have their brakes fixed; indiana is not on the list. Toyota?s state restriction does not make any sense. Nw indiana has the same weather as…

As an owner of a 2009 toyota corolla, i am very concerned about a recall for brake failure by toyota that is limited to certain states based on winter temperatures. Brakes may fail at very low temperatures. I live in maryland, and maryland is not one of the states listed in the recall. I do not know how toyota arrived at which states are cold and which are not. But i have two serious objections to the state…

My concern is with the brake recall on toyota corollas that was started on august 26th, 2009. First, the recall only applies to 19 states....what about those of us that drive across state lines? Or if the car is sold to someone from another state? Then it is ok if the brakes fail? We have been waiting since august to hear from them regarding this issue. Second, i no longer believe much (if anything) that toyota…
