2015 Toyota Corolla Brakes Problems

VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AN HOUR CAME TO A RED LIGHT, DEPRESSED BRAKES HAD VIRTUALLY NO RESPONSE FROM BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKES ARE FAIRLY NEW A MECHANICALLY SOUND BUT DID NOT RESPOND TO A HARD EMERGENCY STOP ATTEMPT AND RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MINOR BUMPS AND BRUISES TYPE INJURIES. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT A CONTROLLED INTERSECTION AS THE LIGHT WAS TURNING RED BUT RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE GOING ENTIRELY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND STRIKING A CROSSING VEHICLE. CROSSING VEHICLE WAS VIRTUALLY UNDAMAGED AS IT WAS A HEAVY DUTY FLATBED TOW TRUCK BUT THE COROLLA INVOLVED IS POTENTIALLY TOTALED OR NEAR TOTAL FRONT END DAMAGE

MY DAUGHTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN HER COLLEGE PARKING LOT AT FGCU. SHE SAID , THINKS THE BRAKE DIDN'T WORK WHEN SHE APPLIED IT. CAR HIT CONCRETE WALL TO STOP. AAA TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME AND SAID BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AND HE HAD TO USE E-BRAKE TO PUT ON TRUCK. HE STATES WHEN HE GOT BACK TO GARAGE BRAKES WORKED. I TOLD TOYOTA. THEY CHECKED BRAKES OUT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT BLACK BOX. THEY SENT ME RESULTS. I HAD MY INSURANCE CO. LOOK AT THEM ALONG WITH TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISER. BOTH SAID DATA SHOWS GAS APPLIED BEFORE BRAKE. I LOOKED UNDER CAR COMPLAINTS. OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM. SOME HAD AUTOMATIC ACCELERATION. I DID NOT TELL THEM TO CHECK THAT OUT BECAUSE OF STATEMENT FROM TOW TRUCK GUY. SHE SAID IT HAPPENED SO FAST SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER. THE TIN WHISKERING WAS A PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA IN THE PAST. I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. CAN THE DATA SHOW IF GAS APPLIED BY DRIVER OR AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON? I HAVE SPOKEN TO ATTORNEYS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO TAKE THIS CASE. MY DAUGHTER HAS BACK PAIN AND OTHER ISSUES. AS A PARENT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IT IS A LEASE. ( NINE MONTHS LEFT TO PAY.) I WOULD LIKE TO GET HER OUT OF THIS CAR AND GET A NEW ONE. ANY SUGGESTIONS? THANK YOU MIKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA EQUIPPED WITH TOYO PROXES 4 PLUS TIRES, SIZE: P205/55R/R16. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP AT A LOW SPEED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS THREAD SEPARATION ON ALL TIRES AND THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE TIRES WERE NOT. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

BRAKES OVERHEAT AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND AFTER THEY HEAT CAR NEEDS MORE DISTANCE TO BE ABLE TO STOP AND WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT (BRAKE PADS GET DEFORMED FROM HEAT)

I PURCHASED A 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM CHARLES MAUND TOYOTA ON JUNE 15, 2015 AND AROUND A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS EVER SINCE. MY SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND OTHER SERVICE MEN SAID A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD BEEN BRINGING THESE CARS (2015 TOYOTA COROLLA) BACK FOR THE SAME NOISE AND OTHER BRAKE ISSUES AS I DESCRIBED. THERE IS A CRACKING NOISE WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES SOMETIMES. DEALER SERVICE MEN SAID THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WILL ALWAYS HEAR BECAUSE OF THE MATERIALS TOYOTA MAKES THEIR BRAKES AND PADS OUT OF, ONCE IT REACHES A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE, I WILL HEAR THE NOISE. SOMETIMES BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR BY ITS SELF AFTER I HAVE STOPPED. SERVICE MEN SAID THEY FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL GO DOWN AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. BUT ON OCTOBER 30, 2015 IT STARTED GOING DOWN BY ITS SELF AGAIN. BOTH FRONT WHEELS NOW MAKING LOUD POPPING OR KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SOMETIMES AND WHEELS DO NOT STOP, THEY KEEP TURNING. SERVICE MEN SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED WHEN THEY DROVE THE CAR. OCTOBER 21, I HAD ANOTHER SCARY EVENT IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY JOB AS I WAS LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY IN MY 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA. AS I WENT AROUND THE FIRST CURVE IN THE GARAGE, THE POPPING OR KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE RIGHT WHEEL STARTED AGAIN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AS I WENT AROUND THE 2ND CURVE AND BRAKED, THE POPPING NOISE CAME FROM BOTH WHEELS AND THEY DID NOT STOP ROLLING WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BRAKE. THE WHEELS KEPT TURNING, IT FELT LIKE WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE TIGHTEN A BOLT ALL THE WAY, BUT THEN IT SLIPS A LITTLE FURTHER. I HAVE THE MOST PROBLEMS WHEN GOING DOWN A SLOPE.
