2005 Toyota Matrix Brakes Problems

I ENCOUNTERED A FLAT TIRE. I PULLED THE TIRE OFF AND PLACED THE SPARE ON. THE BRAKE DRUM CAME OFF THE CAR AND REMAINED HOUSED IN THE WHEEL WELL. AFTER PLACING THE SPARE ON, I DROVE ABOUT 30 MILES TO MY MECHANIC WITH NO BRAKE DRUM. I ENCOUNTERED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY BREAK SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN CHANGING THE TIRE AND IN MOTION WHEN BRAKE SYSTEM DAMAGE WAS DONE.

2005 TOYOTA MATRIX, WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED FOR PANIC STOP WHILE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING, CAR WILL NOT STOP QUICKLY AND ROLLS INTO OBJECTS. THIS IS SECOND ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE DOING THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA MATRIX XR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND THE PADS NUMEROUS TIMES; HOWEVER, THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IN COLD WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER WAS NEVER CALLED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,700.

MY WIFE BOUGHT A NEW 2005 TOYOTA MATRIX ON JULY 24, 2004. FIVE DAYS LATER, WITH ONLY ABOUT 85 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AS SHE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. WHAT WAS WORSE, SHE WAS ON A HILL AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. *AKWE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT DAY AND THEY FOUND THAT THE ACTUATOR HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING. WE DON'T MIND WAITING FOR THE SPARE PART TO COME IN AND EVERYTHING IS UNDER 100% WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE 2004 COROLLA THEY GAVE HER AS A LOANER, WITH ABOUT 1,200 MILES ON IT, ALSO HAD THE SAME FAILURE ON JULY 30TH. WE RETURNED THAT CAR TODAY ALSO. *AK
