| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In june 2006 the brakes on the 2005 toyota corolla suddenly felt loose, but they worked ,and a mechanic found no problem. i noticed that the brakes were dragging and reported this to the dealership, but before i could go in for service the brakes locked in downtown minneapolis during rush hour. i got my car to a nearby service station and they replaced the brake pads and other worn-out parts. the car was fine for a few weeks, i submitted the brake work under my warranty, then the brakes began dragging again. i brought the car to my dealership, they found no problem, and toyota denied my claim under the theory that "brakes aren't covered." i think my master cylinder malfuntions when the temperature is high. toyota has no response to the problem of my brakes dragging and locking up, other than to blame me. *ak |
