CarComplaints.com Notes: Was the 7th generation Corolla bit by the same spider as Peter Parker? Because these cars definitely have a super-power: invincibility.

When stepping on the brakes, the front brakes make a very load clank. Load enough for people to turn and look at you. I took it to the dealer I purchased the car from, and they said all 1997 Toyota Corollas do this, and that it was normal, they said there were no problems with my brakes. Now when I go got stop, I feel like its getting harder to stop. If you could rsvp me I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
