I am very sorry to know about the accident. Thanks to All Mighty Allah that no one was hurt. I have few points which I would like you to explain for our knowledge and safety. I will appreciate your participation in this discussion.

"My driver applied my corolla Altis brakes my brakes didin't work and my car slided and slamed into the truck."

If the brakes didn't work , then how did the car slided. Do you mean to say that ABS didn't work and wheels were locked and car slided.

"Luckly my driver turned the car in other direction so the side of my car was damaged."

If the driver can steer the car during braking, then it means that ABS was working and wheels were not locked.

"THE COROLLA ALTIS HAS BRAKES THAT DONT WORK SO I ADVICE YOU NOT TO BUY IT"

Too early to jump to a conclusion.

Q1. Were there any skid marks on the road.

Q2. After the accident brakes were working or not. If yes then it is more of a human error or poor judgement on the part of the driver and not technical problem in the brakes.
