Damn, I wish this were in the U.S. then a majority of us would be able to help spam the NHTSA with a safety complaint

Have you been able to repeat or identify the fault in the braking system yet?

I wonder if he can still file a complaint with NHTSA even if lives outside of the US. The car is global and safety issues effect all of us, no matter where you live. https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/ |

Last week the brake system was checked again. This time they asked to keep it for a day and to drive it around a bit so they could get a full feel for any issues. Again they weren't able to find any abnormality with how the pedal felt. I was given a loaner Corolla to drive around for the time they were diagnosing my complaint, and immediately upon pressing the brake pedal in the Corolla I felt as though I found what the issue was. Toyota's brake feel in their modern cars is just unacceptable. My father 2007 Tundra has great brakes, his 1993 Camry has great brakes, and my step-mothers 1997 Camry also has great brake feel. But, my 2013 FRS and the loaner 2015 Corolla brakes feel woeful. I conclude that there isn't an issue with the brakes themselves, just a personal issue with how the brakes feel.

Personal taste is exactly that personal. I personally think the brakes are great.

I had them checked to make sure there wasn't a problem, there was no problem found so issue lay with my personal expectation. Quote:
It is a drive issue. My issue at least, I can't speak as to the OPs issue.
