Corolla 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Hand brake doesn't hold well. Also, when the hand brake is on and you or your passenger gets out of the car it makes a noise like you weight 5000 pounds a very loud squeak. It's not exactly a squeak, it sounds like they forgot to grease the suspension its that kind of noise. Or if you put a little weight on the fender when the hand brake is on it does the same thing. Not a lot of weight just your hand pushing down gently..this should be an embarrassment for Toyota. The dealership says there is nothing wrong with the brakes. I beg to differ! I probably will never buy a Toyota again.
