Description of the problem | My 2014 toyota corolla le is a lease i picked up in december 2013 & now has 3641 miles on it. I first noticed this issue with the brakes within first month but felt because the 2011 corolla i just turned in was a different model (not le) & many changes in 2014 model that perhaps i should give it more time. The problem is when i stop at a traffic light i must put a lot of pressure on brake pedal & press it down to the floor as far as it will go otherwise car will start to roll. I had it checked several times at toyota dealers & no one can find anything wrong so i've been living with it. Last week i had a chance to drive a different 2014 toyota corolla & brake reactions different i did not have to press down on the brake pedal as hard or as far as i do with mine. On 3/17/2015 i brought my car into toyota dealer for brakes check only & tech checked system for codes (?) & did test drive by himself & stated he did not notice anything wrong, then he did test drive with me driving to see if i could 'recreate' the issue & although this tech admitted he could see i had the brake pedal pushed down to the floor the rolling at light did not occur (of course). The tech told me as far as the other 2014 corolla's brake pedal reactions that toyota might have drum brakes on it (?) & my car has disc brakes. The tech also told me there is nothing they can do to adjust, fix or repair disc brakes(?) will have to take his word for it. In any event i was told me to keep a watch if it happens again, also if car is cold or hot & sometimes car will roll automatically at a light due to a/c going on & off & regulating itself (will have to take tech's word). The only thing i know is at a stop light if i don't hold that brake pedal down hard & as far to the floor as i can the car will roll which to me is dangerous; haven't hit anyone or anything but to me this doesn't seem normal or right to me. |
