Brake issues with 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid

[otnimus]

Hi all, trying to get some opinion/feedback on what I recently observed on my Corolla Cross.

It happened on the last two trips where the car made noise, I feel some vibration/rattling when I was braking. It lasts for 1 or 2 seconds. I kind of felt the tires skid but I am not sure if that's what actually happened. And I, again kind of, felt that it was the right side tires. Or at least the noise coming from the right side. But it could be just because I was driving and obviously sit on the right side of the car.

In those 2 trips, it happened in 4 occasions. And it wasn't abrupt or hard braking, just normal slowing down.

I wonder if this is a known issues ... or if anyone with the same car experience the same or similar issues. Thank you.

Initially I thought ABS or Traction Control intervening as a result of loss of traction or grip but you said normal slow down so now I'm unsure. Perhaps a video would help us assist ?

I have heard of some recall issues with the Corolla Cross & operational anomalies with the Toyota "SafeTSense" system in general, the later may be what you're experiencing & what Toyota would class as a "normal characteristic" of the car 😉

@otnimus  did you ever get to the bottom of this issue? Was it the "hybrid" brake pedal causing it ?

Hi @ZZT86 I concluded that was the ABS. But there was also update to the brake that they did when my car was with them.

What exactly did the dealer do to resolve the issue? Was it related to wheel sensor/stability/traction calibration ?

No, there wasn't any issue to resolve. I did a test drive with a mechanic and could reproduce the noise by sudden braking on a speed bump and it was the ABS. Hope that helps.
