This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
It was in a snow storm. I felt I had been keeping a safe distance from the car in front of me (I never had an accident prior). Cars ahead slowed down suddenly. I depressed the brake pedal, could feel ABS was activated. But it could not stop the car soon enough, hit the car in front of me at the right tail light. Bumpers and tail light damaged.
I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla that I have recently purchased and been driving for approx 8 weeks. It has approximately 2400 miles on it. I have had several occasions since purchase where I have experienced my brakes locking and resulting in failing to stop. I have almost been rear-ended on several occasions, as well as almost rear-ending a vehicle in front of me. This mostly occurs when I go over a small bump or a pot hole. I have taken my car to the dealer to check this problem. No problems were found, and they were unable to duplicate the issue. However, within an hour of leaving the dealer I had the same problem where the brakes locked up when I went over a small bump in the road. I have heard about a similar problem with the Toyota prius. My vehicle is a 2010 Corolla. I have driven many cars over the areas where I drive my current vehicle with no similar braking failure issue. I am very concerned about the safety of driving this vehicle. Thank you.
