1995 Toyota Corolla Brakes Problems

“Took it to be inspected and have the brake lines replaced due to age and rust. When I went to pick up the car, the mechanic opened the door for me. When he opened the door, the handle broke off. Also, the inside handle broke off last year, so the plastic isn't that good. They should use metal handles instead.”

“Master cylinder failed. Brakes applied themselves and stuck while on the highway. The front tires became so hot the lugnuts sheared off and the hub caps melted. The dealer replaced the component at my expense. I am starting to experience brake pedal fading. While stopped the brake pedal will go to the floor with the new master cylinder on the vehicle. I hope this vehicle does not kill me or others before Toyota does something about it.”

“The contact owns a 1995 Toyota Corolla. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the contact applied pressure to the brake pedal but the brakes would not engage. The vehicle coasted to a stop and was taken to a local repair shop where the master cylinder was replaced. The failure occurred again four months later. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 230,000 and the current mileage was approximately 235,000.”

“Vehicle parked in driveway with emergency brake on, vehicle turned off, after sitting for a few minutes ,while waiting at the door , looked around and the vehicle was rolling forward while parking brake was still engaged. Dealer cannot determine the problem.”

“While driving would step on brake pedal to stop or to reduce vehicle speed, but vehicle will not stop on time. Had contacted dealer. Please provide more information.”
