What owners wrote
This is a report of brake failure that caused a vehicle collision with injuries. On october 29, 2016, I rented a 2016 toyota corolla from a betterway rent-acar, inc. D/ba budget rent a car of atlanta, at 6509 roswell rd, atlanta, ga 30328. The toyota had 21,619 miles at the time of the rental. At approximately 12:30pm I was driving southeast on jimmy carter blvd in norcross georgia. The weather was clear and sunny and the road was dry.
Brakes began making grinding noise when applied in during stop and go traffic. Was taken to dealership where I was told brakes are fine. As soon as I left I began hearing noise again while applying brakes and called them back but was told nothing could be done since no issue.
