2001 Toyota Corolla Brakes system front locks-up and stop car. They become hot after setting for a few minutes car will go until it happens again sometime 20 miles other 30.

CHECK ENGINE COMPRESSION BETWEEN COLD AND HOT , DURING ENGINE IS COLD SOME VALVE IS NOT SEALING MUCH .

Could be a bad master cylinder.

remove the master cylinder and check the plunger projection make shore it is with in specs, using a vacuum pump check condition of capsule see if it holds the preasure and its not leaking off. if its leaking change capsule and check valve

i try to help you, firts refill brake fluid container,open purge valve in one wheel front only,wait few minutes when drops fluid, close this valve and open other wheel, same procedure, finally repeat this in each 4 wheels

sounds like your calipers on your front wheels are freezing,
u might have to replace them with a set of new ones and
a new set of pads.

I had the same problem, i had to remove the whole alarm system to get my car to start, when you unattatch the battery cables, the alarm notices the battery drain and sets the alarm off, i have no idea how much the dealership would charge for a new remote, but im sure its pricey, i would recommend just removing the alarm system, temporarily, until you can get a new remote. Good luck and god bless

Have a look at the naster brake. It has gone bad. need to replace it.

rate this.

it should have disk brakes all round but shoes for the hand brake on the rear. unless you have the"poverty pack" it may just have shoes on the rear.....

I believe ABS was standard on this car for that year. Did you use the ABS key to unlock pressure to ensure you bled the brakes properly. I have seen too many times where a key was not used and similar issues prevailed. If you can take a picture of your engine bay I could assist you further.
