NHTSA complaint: 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I'VE HAD TWO RECALLS DONE ON MY 209 COROLLA. THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKES. I'VE NOTICED THAT MY GAS PEDAL MAKES THIS WHISTLE EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE. SHORTLY, AFTER THE BRAKE RECALL I'VE NOTICED A DIFFERENCE IN MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE WAS MUSHY, I HAD TO PRESS HARDER ON THE BRAKE JUST TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND WHEN STEP ON THE BRAKES, ITS NOT SMOOTH AND MY CAR WOULD PULL FORWARD. I WENT BACK TO TOYOTA SERVICES TO RECHECK MY BRAKES ONLY 4-6 DAYS AFTER I HAD THE BRAKE RECALL DONE. THEY SAID, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. ITS BEEN 5 DAYS SINCE THE LAST VISIT AND I JUST RECENTLY REARED ENDED SOMEONE. LUCKILY IT WAS JUST A FENDER BENDER BUT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT IT WAS NOTHING SERIOUS. THE LADY WHO I HAD REARED ENDED HAD A 8-11 MONTH CHILD WITH HER. I KNEW MY BRAKES FELT DIFFERENT, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG BUT TOYOTA FAILED TO SEE THAT. I AM REALLY UPSET WITH TOYOTA. I COULD OF LOST MY LIFE ALONG WITH THE LADY AND HER INFANT. *TR
