SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 95 (MD) IN THE FAR LEFT LANE (FAST LANE) WHEN HER 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND WENT INTO A 180 DEGREE CLOCKWISE SPIN ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO THE FAR RIGHT RIGHT LANE (SLOW LANE) AND WHEN SHE PUMPED HER BRAKES THE CAR WENT INTO A 180 DEGREE COUNTER CLOCKWISE SPIN BACK ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC ALMOST GETTING HIT BY A JEEP BEFORE STOPPING ON THE LEFT SHOULDER FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. INCIDENT HAPPENED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 9:20AM ON WET ROADS. YELLOW ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON, BUT NOT THE RED BRAKE LIGHT. WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND TOYOTA TO HAVE A HISTORY OF BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY PROBLEMS RESULTING IN WARRANTY EXTENSIONS, SERVICE CAMPAIGNS & RECALLS ON 2007-TO 2011 CAMRY'S ,2010 PRIUS, 2012 & 2013 TACOMA PICK UPS, TOYOTA RAV 4'S.

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AT AROUND 7000 MILES. BEFORE 36000 MILES I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITH COMPLAINTS OF BAD FRONT WHEEL BEARING. THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AND AROUND AND I ENDED UP REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE BEARING NOW 3 TIMES. NOW I AGAIN HAVE TO REPLACE THE BEARING ON THE BACK WHICH COMES NOW COMPLETE WITHOUT HAVING TO BE PRESSED IN. I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS THAT THIS CAR IS ANONYMOUS FOR THIS PART BEING DEFECTIVE WHICH I THINK IT'S UNFAIR FOR THE CONSUMER. THIS PART IS CLOSE TO OVER 200$. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER ON FIRST OCCURRENCE THAT IT WAS MY TIRES CAUSE THE VEHICLE WORE THEM UNEVENLY. THE CONSUMER IS NOT BEING INFORMED, PROTECTED AND SOLD BAD QUALITY PARTS ON VEHICLES AND THE PRODUCER IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
THERE'S A HIGH PITCHED METAL GRINDING NOISE THAT HAS BEEN COMING AND GOING ON IT'S OWN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THIS NOISE HAPPENS AT SLOW OR HIGH SPEEDS. MY BRAKE PADS STILL HAVE MEAT ON THEM AND THE ROTOR IS NOT WARPED AS WELL. I'VE EVEN CHECKED FOR BRAKE DUST WHICH I DON'T HAVE ANY SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON. MY FRIEND'S 2012 COROLLA MAKES THE SAME METAL GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING AND THERE HAS EVEN BEEN COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND SEE PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR OVER TWO YEARS AGO AND IT STILL HAS BEEN MAKING THE SAME NOISE SINCE THEN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A CAR..THE BRAKING SYSTEM! THANK YOU, NHTSA. *TR
