Hello all,

I just purchased my 2005 Corolla S this week and everything is running great except for one thing. I have to press the brake pedal quite a distance to get the car to start slowing down. Is this common on Corolla's or is it something I need to bring in for servicing?

its too common, toyota will never learn from their mistakes.

get better rotors and pads, that will stop you.
