NHTSA Complaint #10395247 — 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA

THE PROBLEM IS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM OR BRAKES IN TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 LE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2010. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP. IT REQUIRES PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER DOWN TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR OR BRING IT TO COMPLETE STOP. IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS. ABS IS AVAILABLE IN THE CAR AND IS ENGAGED. IT RAN 1100 MILE ONLY. I GOT IT CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT IS HOW THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED IN NEW TOYOTA CARS ( REQUIRES PUSHING DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER DOWN AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS). I STILL FEEL THAT THERE IS SOME ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I CHECKED THE RECALL LIST IN HTTP://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/RECALL/ AND MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT LISTED. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 MODEL REPORTED BY MANY CUSTOMERS. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS "POWER-ASSISTED VENTILATED 10.7-INCH FRONT DISC BRAKES; 9-INCH REAR DRUM BRAKES WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD) AND BRAKE ASSIST (BA)" . I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR
