2010 Toyota Corolla Brakes Problems

BRAKES ARE VERY SPUNGY AND DO NOT SEEM TO INGAGE. BRAKES WILL FILL LIKE THEY ARE STARTING TO WORK AND THEN RELEASE AND YOU MUST PUSH BRAKES DOWN FURTHER BEFORE THEY WILL START BRAKING. VERY SLOW BRAKING RESPONSE TIME. HAD THE BRAKES BLEED TWICE AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM SO THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND THE CAR BRAKING DID NOT CHANGE AT ALL. MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO SLOW BRAKING RESPONSE.

BRAKES GRIND AND SKIP CAUSING CAR TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME HAD HIT THEIR BRAKES DUE TO THE CARS IN FRONT OF THEM HITTING THE BRAKES DUE TO A RED LIGHT. I THEN HIT MY BRAKES AS WELL AND THE CAR DIDN'T STOP, I PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND STILL HAD NO BRAKES. MY HUSBAND HAD PANICKED AND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CAR STILL DID NOT STOP. MY CAR THEN HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US WHICH IN TURN CAUSE A CHAIN REACTION FOR THE OTHER 3 VEHICLES INVOLVED. IF MY BRAKES WOULD NOT HAVE FAILED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR IS NOW A "TOTAL LOSS" AND I AM OUT OF A VEHICLE. I AM JUST GLAD THAT NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MORNING ON A VERY COLD DAY AND WAS DRIVING AROUND 30MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I COULD SEE THE STOP LIGHT ABOUT 200 FEET JUST CAME ON. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE ABS BRAKES LOCKED UP AND IT TOOK THE ENTIRE 200 FEET TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TO STOP. *TR

BRAKES ARE SCRUBBING HARSHLY WHEN WEATHER IS DAMP. HAD IT INSPECTED AT LEITH TOYOTA IN RALEIGH,NC AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. TWO MONTHS AGO IN WET COLD HIGH ALTITUDE THERE WAS EXTREME SCRUBBING OF FRONT WHEEL BRAKES, AGAIN WAS INSPECTED AND TOLD THAT BRAKES WERE GOOD AND WOULD PROBABLY NEED NEW PADS AT NEXT INSPECTION. THIS SCRUBBING STARTED ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS AFTER WE PURCHASED IT NEW. *TR

THE PROBLEM IS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM OR BRAKE IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010. I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 25MPH SPEED AT LOCAL STREET, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST GOT FROZE COULDN'T PUSH FURTHER. THEN I TRIED TO PULL UP THE BRAKE HANDLE BUT THE HANDLE WAS TOTALLY LOOSE, ALL LIGHT ON THE BOARD WENT ON, THEN I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE KEY TO FORCE THE ENGINE STOP BEFORE I ALMOST HIT THE OTHER CAR FRONT OF ME.AFTER 5 MINS I RESTART MY CAR, IT TURNED OUT NORMAL. IT'S VERY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES. I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME, IT COULD CAUSE TO DEATH ACCIDENT. I SEND THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ORIGINALLY. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, ALSO CHARGED ME TO PAY FOR THE CHECKING.THIS CAR IS BEYOND THE SAFE TO DRIVE, I DON'T KNOW IT WILL HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

BRAKES MAKE A RAPID THUMPING SOUND AND ARE INEFFECTIVE WHEN APPLIED AT THE TIME THE CAR IS DRIVING OVER BUMPS, HOLES, OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE ROAD SURFACE HAS TO BE COMPLETELY SMOOTH FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS CAUSE FOR A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH ON A ROAD THAT HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. I WENT TO STOP FOR A LINE OF TRAFFIC WHEN I PUSHED MY BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT DIDN'T EVEN SLOW ME DOWN. I HIT THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME THEN MY CAR (WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE) ACCELERATED FORWARD AND HIT THE SUV AGAIN AND AGAIN BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 PRIOR OCCASIONS TO GET THE SAME CONDITION FIXED. I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM SAID DEALERSHIP, BRAND NEW, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. *JS
