SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL IS POSITIONED SO THAT IT CAN CATCH THE SIDE OR SOLE OF THE DRIVER'S SHOE SO THAT THE BRAKES CANNOT BE ACTIVATED. IT CAN CAPTURE THE SHOE UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. WHEN NEEDING BRAKES UNDER AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE SHOE CAN BE TRAPPED, AND CAN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR, AND CAUSED MY MOTHER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND ONLY 3 CARS WERE DAMAGED.

SERVICE BRAKES
TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FINE AND THAT THE NEW SV TRANSMISSIONS HANDLE DIFFERENTLY FROM THE OLDER TRANSMISSIONS, I SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AS THEY ARE BAD. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I RUINED THE BRAKES BY DRIVING THE CAR HARD. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY THIRTY FOUR YEARS OF DRIVING THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I RUIN BRAKES. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD 14599 MILES. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IT HAD 24397. LESS THAN 10,000 MILES HAD BEEN DRIVEN ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO SPEND 600 DOLLARS ON A BRAKE JOB. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS, DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS AND I HAVE NEVER EVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES, ROTORS, PADS, DRUMS, SHOES SO SOON. I BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS DEFECTIVE ROTORS, DRUMS AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT MANUFACTURERS/DEALERS COST. I OWN A 2011 KIA SPORTAGE AND DROVE THAT FOR CLOSE TO 60,000 MILES BEFORE HAVING TO DO BRAKES. THE BRAKES HAVE A PULSATING, VIBRATING WHEN BRAKING ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ON CITY ROADS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL. BRAKES ON A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED SO SOON.

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING TOYOTA COROLLA 2013 AND I WAS 65 M/P ON HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED (BROKEN) I HAD ONLY 39,000 MILES. I HAD TO MINION SOMETHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED,THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID YOU WARRENTY IS EXPIRED AND THEY COULD NOT FIXE THE CAR, LESS I RENEW MY WARRANTY ON 36000 MILLES FOR $1000 OR 90,000 MILES FOR $3000, SINCE I COULDN'T PAY FOR THAT I TOOK IT TO REGULAR SHOP AND I FIXE IT. AFTER I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO OPEN A CLAIM, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE IT DID NOT SHOW ON RECORD THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP, AND THEY DECIDED TO NOT REMBOURSE YOU FOR ANY MONEY I SPEND TO FIXE IT. THE FUNNY PART, THE DEALER SAID THEY GUARANTEE 36000 MILES AND TOYOTA SAID THE GUARANTEE IS FOR 60,000 MILES AND MY CAR WAS BROKEN AND I HAD ONLY 39000 MILES.

PURCHASED VEHICLE SEPTEMBER 2015 WITH 59,000 MILES. 8 MONTHS LATER THE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONS.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT TURNING,LEFT AT A BIG INTERSECTION IN POOLER, GA THERE WAS A DOUBLE TURN LANE. I TALKED MY BRAKES AS OTHER CAR NEXT TO ME WAS IN MY LANE ON THE TURN. HE ADJUSTED AND I PRECEDED UP THE INCLINED ROAD TO WHERE CARS WERE STOPPED WAITING FOR THE LIGHT. I WAS HORRIFIED AS I REALIZED MY BRAKES WAS NOT STOPPING BY THE TIME MY BRAIN COMPUTED THEY WAS NOT WORKING,WHEN THEY JUST WORKED SECONDS EARLIER. NEXT THEN I HEARD A GUN SHOT NOISE FROM AIR BAGS EXPLODING AND WAS IN THE REAR END OF AN SUV. I RECALL MY BRAKES WAS REPLACED AT 37000 MILES PAD WERE THIN AND CONSTANT BRAKE DUST DAILY ON MY RIMS. I AM FORTUNATE MINOR INJURIES AND WAS GOING AT A LOW SPEED. THIS COULD OF BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT IF ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. MY BRAKES FAILING CAUSES ME HIGH ANXIETY AND,FEAR WHEN DRIVING NOW. INSURANCE COMPANY DOES NOT INSPECT MY BRAKES ISSUE WHICH IS DISHEARTENING SINCE THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF MY ACCIDENT. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 TO 20 AND BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN SO I THOUGHT THEN REALIZED MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING.

SEAT BELTS
TO BEGIN I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2014 THE BACK MIDDLE SEATBELT WAS ALREADY CUT. MY 12-YEAR-OLD SON WAS RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE. HE HAD HIS SEATBELT ON AND THEN HE STARTED COMPLAINING THAT IT WAS GETTING TIGHTER SO I PULLED OVER AND TRIED GETTING THE SEATBELT TO UNLOCK. IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND WAS GETTING TIGHTER. FINALLY I HAD TO GO INTO A GAS STATION AND BORROW A PAIR OF SCISSORS TO CUT THE SEATBELT SO MY SON COULD GET OUT

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
PREOWNED 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA IN THIS CAR HAVE A CARFAX REPORT THAT SAYS IN 2 PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYDED. AS ITS 3RD OWNER PURCHASED WITH 46958MILES I HAVE NOTICED THAT I THE VEHICLE BRAKES TO HARD. AND WHEN I STEP LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE TILL I STEP HARTER ON THE BRAKE. ITS HARDLY NOTICEABLE AND TO CATCH. 3RD ISHU IS THAT WHEN I US THE AC IT USES TOO MUCH FULE. ALSO WITH THE AC TURNED OFF IT IS STILL BLOWING OUT COOL AIR AT A LOW LEVEL THAT COULD BE SENSED BY PLACING YOUR HANDS BY THE AIR VENTS.
