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.
