1995 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

MASTER CYLINDER FAILED. BRAKES APPLIED THEMSELVES AND STUCK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FRONT TIRES BECAME SO HOT THE LUGNUTS SHEARED OFF AND THE HUB CAPS MELTED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE COMPONENT AT MY EXPENSE. I AM STARTING TO EXPERIENCE BRAKE PEDAL FADING. WHILE STOPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR WITH THE NEW MASTER CYLINDER ON THE VEHICLE. I HOPE THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT KILL ME OR OTHERS BEFORE TOYOTA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. IN THE DARK YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT GEAR YOU HAVE THE VEHICLE IN. NO WAY TO ACCESS THE LIGHT TO REPLACE IT.

GEAR SHIFT IS EASILY MOVED OUT OF GEAR WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT MOVES TO REVERSE WHILE DRIVEING ON THE ROAD.
