2012 Toyota Corolla Brakes Problems

BRAKES ON VEHECLE STARTED GETTING VERY LOW ON PEDAL AND SLOW TO STOP . MECHANIC WORKED ON IT REPLACED MODULATOR AND OVER $500. LATER BRAKES STILL NOT WORKING . ANOTHER MECHANIC (ANOTHER ($500) STILL WORKING ON VEHECLE WITHOUT LUCK AS PART THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM IS ATTACHED TO THE COMPUTER AND DEALERSHIPS WILL SELL WHOLE COMPUTER AT APROXIMA $4000.00 . HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR USED PART FOR PAST 6 MONTHS (UNABLE TO USE WE) AND EVERY SHOP STATED THAT PART IS PROMPTLY REMOVED FROM CRASHED VEHICLES AS IS A RECURRENT PEOPLE LOOKING FOR IT. ALSO WAS NOTIFIED THAT TOYOTA COROLLA 2012 BRAKE SYSTEM WAS CHANGED ONLY FOR THAT YEAR AND AGAIN YEAR AFTER SAME SYSTEM TILL NOW ... AT EVERY REPAIR SHOP I'M TOLD: ' THAT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THAT CAR'...

MY CAR HAS 60K MILES ON IT. I HAVE TWO LIGHTS ON MY DASH. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. I SEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS BUT THE COROLLA IS NOT LISTED???? I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS WHO TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE FOR ME TO COVER. I FIND THIS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT ONE A CAR THAT HAS 60K MILES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION THE PRICE OF THE PART I WAS GIVEN $3600!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA. AFTER THE VEHICLE RECEIVED BRAKE SERVICE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,070.

FAILURE OF THE ABS BRAKE CONTROLLER CAUSED 3 LIGHTS ON THE DASH TO INTERMITTENTLY LIGHT (ABS, TRACTION & BRAKE) DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD BE OFF WHILE THE ABS & TRACTION LIGHTS WERE ON, AND OTHER TIMES ALL THREE LIGHTS WOULD BE OFF. A COMPUTER SCAN DISCOVERED A SHORT IN THE ABS BRAKE CONTROLLER.

WHEN I DRIVING WAS OKAY, IT'S ONLY 20-25 MILES SPEEDING, I WAS TRYING TO STOP AT THE SIGNAL LIGHT, THE BREAK DOESN'T WORK AND I STOPPED THE CAR WITH SIDE BREAK. IT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT.

LAST YEAR I GOT INTO A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHICH I BELIEVE WAS CAUSED BY BRAKE FAILURE ON A NEW 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA LE VEHICLE I HAD PURCHASED. I INFORMED BOTH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AT THE TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE CRASH THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE WRONG WITH MY BRAKES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL. IT BEGAN TO VEER IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND SWERVING ON THE HIGHWAY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I WAS NOT INTOXICATED, TEXTING OR DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL, SIMPLY ON MY WAY TO WORK.NO ONE TOOK MY COMMENT SERIOUSLY. ANYWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL, I RECALL PRESSING THE BRAKE ONE MORE TIME TO STOP THE SWERVING AND THEN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL AND BEGAN TO FLIP OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND CLIPPED ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT THEN FLIPPED OVER A FEW MORE TIMES CRASHING UPSIDE DOWN INTO A WALL. I THEN RECEIVED A CITATION FOR "IMPROPER LANE CHANGE". I WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS ENGAGE IN RECKLESS OR ERRATIC DRIVING ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF ANYONE AND ESPECIALLY NOT MY LIFE! I WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO GET TO WORK AND PRIOR TO THIS I HAD NOT HAD ANY "AT FAULT" ACCIDENTS ON MY RECORD AND I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR THAT THESE MOTOR VEHICLE COMPANIES, SPECIFICALLY TOYOTA, CAN GET AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND IN THE END IT IS THE CONSUMER THAT MUST PAY THE CONSEQUENCE. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I EVEN GOT OUT OF THIS ALIVE AND UPON CALLING SEVERAL ATTORNEYS RIGHT AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND ALL THE WAY UNTIL NOW, BECAUSE I AM NOT DEAD OR SERIOUSLY INJURED THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO FOR ME! *TR
