I own a 2009 toyota corolla with 19,000 miles. I am the original owner. I have taken the car in twice for a problem with the brakes. I have owned many cars but none have ever felt so unresponsive when you hit the brakes, especially in the event of a fast stop. The dealers tell me this is normal for vacuum assisted brakes.

Since purchasing this car, the brakes have "locked up" occasionally. We took the car to toyota to have this checked last week; they performed two recalls and stated that the car was driving properly. Since then, the brakes have locked up twice. I liken it to how your car feels when there is low traction - but the low traction light does not come on and i am not driving on ice, gravel, etc. I am always on clear…

I own a 2010 toyota corolla s. Ocassionally when i'm braking, my car doesn't want to brake. It makes a grinding feeling under my foot. Then i have to quickly apply the brake again to get the car to stop. I thought it was just a fluke at first or due to the road being wet, but it happened again today, and the pavement was dry. Luckily i don't wait until the last second to brake, and i don't tailgate. *cn
