2008 Toyota Corolla Brakes Problems

“I have had failure to disclose issues with this car. I have had an accident in which the airbag did not deploy and brake had difficulty. I had a bad accident and have reached out to Toyota to wither repair my car or setup rental or make a payment for rental. I do not want to drive this car until repaired, therefore renting for the past 3 months”

“Twice, upon severe braking from freeway speeds my 2008 Toyota Corolla experienced severe instability and wandered all over the highway. My Toyota dealer inspected the vehicle and determined the brakes were operating as designed, but blamed the instability on the lack of ABS or skid control on my vehicle. I think all vehicles should stop in a straight line without these aids, as all my previous automobiles dating back to 1936 all have done.”

To me, it sounded as though I were going about 50 MPH.) while in reverse, and with the increasing revving sound and RPM, my brakes locked on me and the dashboard lights all came on. I was able to shift back into park and shut off the car. …”

“I bought a 2008 Toyota Corolla ce brand new from the dealer. Only a few months after, I started hearing a very loud clunking sound in the brakes when I backup and brake and then when I pull forward and brake. It is an alarming sound so I took it to the dealer it was purchased from at least three times since and they say it's the brake pads sliding when I brake. They say the only thing they can do for me is grease them, which they have done each time but it keeps returning. I called another Toyota dealer to inquire about it and they told me the same thing. …”
