What owners wrote
I was going to work when my brakes stopped working, steering wheel locked, and car accelerated straight into a fence. Both my mother and I were injured. I got a toyota specialist to look at the car, it took them three and a half weeks after the accident to send that specialist to look at the car. He then said the car was safe to drive. After I got my car back from the body shop I took the car to the toyota dealership where I got it to get the brakes fixed and the accelerator pedal fixed.
I have a 2010 toyota corolla. Dec.24 2009 was a report of the first failure. I was driving out of a residential parking lot and applied my brakes before I approached the street and my car ended up accelerating hitting the passenger door of another vehicle. Moreover if I drive over a bumpy surface or pot hole my pedals start to kick back or vibrate. Don't know what to call it. Also I have 2 recalls for my vehicle according to toyota service center. After fixing my recall I now have a new problem with my car.
