Consumer Description

OUR JAPANESE BUILT 2010 COROLLA HAS A DEAD SPOT AT THE TOP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. AT ALL SPEEDS, WHEN FIRST DEPRESSING THE PEDAL, VERY LITTLE IF ANY BRAKING ACTION OCCURS WITH THE VEHICLE. ONLY AFTER SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE PEDAL WILL THE VEHICLE SLOW. THIS IS ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS MADE, AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN FLUSHED WITH NEW FLUID. IT IS STILL AN ISSUE. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE JAPANESE BUILT CARS. I HAVE TEST DRIVEN 2 CANADIAN BUILT 2010 COROLLAS, AND THE BRAKING FUNCTION IS MUCH BETTER. THE BRAKING COMPONENTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN THE 2 CARS. I MAINTAIN THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OF THE JAPANESE BUILT COROLLAS. *TR
