2009 Toyota Corolla complaints

THE CAR'S POWER STEERING TURNS BY ITSELF WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR ROUGH PATCHES ON THE ROAD AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IT TAKES AWARENESS AND EFFORT AT TIMES TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. ALTHOUGH PROBABLY NOT AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY THREAT, I IMAGINE IF NOT REMEDIED, IT WILL BE A PROBLEM THAT GETS WORSE AND NOT BETTER OVER TIME. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT OCCURS DAILY.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH IN RAINY CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STARTED STEERING TO THE RIGHT ALTHOUGH SHE WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION. SHE HAD NOTICED THAT THE STEERING FELT LOOSE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE IF THE VEHICLE ALSO ACCELERATED AND STEERED TO THE RIGHT OR IF THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE STEERING AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED SO QUICKLY. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,800. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

LOSE SOME CONTROL OVER 2009 COROLLA WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS BEING HIT BY A GUST OF WIND FROM THE SIDE. USUALLY ENDS UP PUSHING THE CAR A NUMBER OF FEET TO THE RIGHT BUT I AM ABLE TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL BEFORE ANY ACCIDENT OCCURS (SO FAR). THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND ALWAYS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVER SINCE I PURCHASE THE CAR.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, AND I WAS ON FLAT ROAD (THE AREA WAS NOT EVEN REMOTELY HILLY) WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70. THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A WHIRLING SOUND AND RPM WENT FROM 3 TO ALMOST 6. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON OR TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL, AND I WAS DRIVING ON FLAT ROAD. I BRAKED FIRMLY AND TOOK THE CAR OFF OF CRUISE CONTROL. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. *CN

I HAD A RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED TO MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA ON 3/17/10 TO INSTALL A REINFORCEMENT BAR IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ACCELERATING AND/OR NOT SLOWING DOWN WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. RATHER THAN CORRECT A PROBLEM, THE RECALL REPAIR CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *CN

I PURCHASED A TOYOTA COROLLA 2009 NEW THE STEERING IS DANGEROUS. IF YOU HAPPEN TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU FOR A MOMENT,YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF HEADING OUT OF YOUR LANE WHEN YOU LOOK BACK. A FRIEND OF MINE DROVE A TOYOTA COROLLA FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA TO NEW YORK AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. I ASK HIM TO TEST DRIVE MY CAR HE NOTED IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE LANE THE ONE HE DROVE UP FROM GEORGIA TRACKED STRAIGHT AND TRUE. I TOOK MY COROLLA BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID EVERY THING WAS IN SPECK . I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE WEB AND FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THIS CAR AND THE NHTSA HAS RECEIVED OVER 820 COMPLAINTS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE ADD MINE TO YOUR GROWING LIST. PS WITH THE GROWING NUMBER OF YOUNG KIDS USING CELL PHONES AND TEXTING THESE DAYS THEY DO NOT STAND A CHANCE IN @#$% DRIVING A CAR LIKE THIS. *TR

WHEN USING EITHER THE AIR RE-CIRCULATION BUTTON OR THE AIR CONDITIONING I SOMETIMES GET A SICKENING SMELL LIKE ANTI-FREEZE. I BROUGHT THE VECHILE IN TO THE DEALER IN SEPTEMBER AND THEY SAID THEY SAW NO LOOSE HOSE OR OBVIOUS LEAK. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT IN NATURE AND WHEN I HAD THE CAR THERE IT WAS NOT DOING IT. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REMOVE THE DASH UNLESS THEY COULD SMELL THE ODOR. I HAD A SURGERY FOR LUNG CANCER LAST YEAR AND I BELIEVE THIS ODOR TO BE HARMFUL TO BE BREATHING.

BOUGHT A NEW 2009 COROLLA S IN LATE AUGUST, 2009. THE CAR HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH STEERING SINCE NEW. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR IS CONSTANTLY "FLOATING" FROM LANE TO LANE BECAUSE THE NEW DRIVE BY WIRE ELECTRIC MOTOR TELLS THE CAR TO BE IN A CONSTANT "CORRECTION" MODE, THERE IS NO "CENTER" DRIVING POSITION. IT'S ALWAYS EITHER "CORRECT LEFT, OR CORRECT RIGHT". THIS MAKES THE DRIVER HAVE TO CONSTANTLY "RE-CORRECT', AND RESULTS IN A CONSTANT "ZIG-ZAG" PATTERN AT 65MPH! THAT'S DRIVING LIKE A DRUNK DRIVES. THE CAR DRIVES LIKE IT'S IN A WIND STORM, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO WIND, AND YOU CAN'T PREDICT WHEN THE NEXT "GUST" WILL DRIFT YOU INTO THE NEXT LANE. GREATLY DISAPPOINTED THAT TOYOTA WOULD CONTINUE TO ALLOW THESE CARS ON THE ROAD WITHOUT A FIX. WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER THAT MY CAR "DRIVES AS DESIGNED". I KNOW THAT, IT'S A BAD DESIGN. SAW WHERE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THIS SITE, WE'RE NOT COMPLAINING JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT, WE'RE HONESTLY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY. I ALSO OWN THREE OTHER OLDER TOYOTA'S, A CAMRY, A CRESSIDA, AND A TERCEL WITH CLOSE TO 300K MILES. ALL OF THEM DRIVE BETTER THAN THIS NEW COROLLA. SHAME ON TOYOTA FOR ALLOWING THIS TO REMAIN A PROBLEM. WAS PLANNING ON GIVING THIS CAR TO MY DAUGHTER AT COLLEGE GRADUATION. NOW I DON'T WANT HER TO DRIVE IT UNLESS IT'S FIXED. I ALSO KNOW OF TWO OTHER BUYERS OF 2009 TOYOTA COROLLAS, BOTH S MODELS, THAT HAVE THE SAME STEERING ISSUES. COMPLAINTS UNANSWERED BY TOYOTA. MY COROLLA ONLY HAS 5200 MILES

THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL CAMPAIGN (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000-VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND RECEIVED REPAIRS BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT LEFT THE VEHICLE IN POSSESSION OF THE DEALER FOR FEAR THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD POTENTIALLY BE A RISK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT WAS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

MY CAR(COROLLA 2009) DOES NOT HOLD THE ROAD. VERY HARD TO STEER STRAIT , MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS ON FREEWAYS. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR ALIGMENT 3 OR 4 TIMES . WIND AND RAIN MAKES IT WORSE. THEY KNOW SOMETHING WAS WRONG FROM DAY , JUST LIKE I DID. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES AFTER SO MANY TRIPS TO SERVICE DEPT. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH IT. UNTIL I READ THE NEWS RELEASE ON STEERING TROUBLE.

TRYING TO MAKE A U TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT, CAR STRAGHTENED ITSELF OUT AND SPED UP BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND WE WENT OVER A CURB AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND HIT A TREE . THIS ONLY OCCURED ONCE. WE HAD OVER $4000 IN DAMAGESON A CAR WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE TRAVELING AT 30 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT ENGAGING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA IN JUNE OF 2008. UP UNTIL APPROXIMATELY THE FALL OF 2009, IT APPEARED TO BE DRIVING SATISFACTORILY. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT TIME, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR "DRIFTS" ALMOST EACH AND EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS, I OPEN MY WINDOW TO SEE IF IT IS WINDY, BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BEING BLOWN BY THE WIND. MY SON SOMETIMES DRIVES MY CAR AND I ASKED HIM IF HE EXPERIENCED THIS, AND HE SAID "YES", AND IT ALWAYS ATTRIBUTES IT TO THE WIND, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT ALWAYS WINDY. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS A SLIGHT LACK OF CONTROL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT IS VERY UNNERVING. I WOULD SAY THAT IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I NOTICE THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES A WEEK. WHEN GOOGLING ABOUT THE CURRENT TOYOTA PROBLEMS, I CAME ACROSS A WRITE UP REGARDING "TOYOTA STEERING PROBLEMS". THEN, I KNEW I WASN'T JUST IMAGINING WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED. THEREFORE, I AM HEREBY VOICING MY COMPLAINT. *TR

THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES FAILED WHICH CAUSED HER TO CRASH INTO TWO GUARDRAILS.

ON MY 2009 COROLLA, I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH SLIGHT ACCELERATION AND SUDDEN RPM INCREASE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR IS NOT BEING APPLIED, AND USUALLY WHEN THE BRAKE IS BEING ENGAGED. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHILE GOING DOWNHILL AND IT CAUSES A FORWARD MOTION JERK IN THE CAR THAT IS FELT BY ALL PASSENGERS. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL REGARDING THE METAL ACCELERATOR PATCH, FIXED. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THE RECALL FIX TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND I WAS INFORMED THAT ALL TOYOTA CARS DO 'THIS' AND THAT IT IS NORMAL. THEY DID HOOK MY CAR UP FOR A HEALTH DIAGNOSTIC WHICH SHOWED NOTHING ABNORMAL. I HAVE DRIVEN A LARGE NUMBER OF CARS WHICH INCLUDE OTHER TOYOTAS, AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PHENOMENA. I HAVE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE THIRD PARTIES IN MY CAR AND THEY HAVE SHOWN SURPRISE AND CONCERN WHEN THE CAR EXHIBITED THIS BEHAVIOR. I DO NEED TO SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER FELT LIKE I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR WHILE THIS OCCURS. HOWEVER, BASED ON RECENT ACCOUNTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN TOYOTAS, AND COROLLAS SPECIFICALLY, I AM NOT INCLINED TO TAKE A 'WAIT AND SEE' APPROACH TO THIS MATTER. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE INSTANCES IN ONE DAY WITH 8-10 SEPARATE INSTANCES BEING THE MOST COUNTED IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD OF TIME. THE MECHANIC THAT RAN THE HEALTH DIAGNOSTICS (3/18/10) TOLD ME THAT GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPUTERS THAT 'RUN MY CAR' THERE COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS GOING ON THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN BUT THAT ANY ABNORMAL

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ABS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

ON 3/18/10 MY SON WAS DRIVING OUR 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. HE ACCELERATED ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND DROVE FOR NEARLY A MILE. HE WAS USING THE BLUE TOOTH PHONE THAT IS BUILT IN TO THE CAR. HE HUNG UP FROM THE CALL AND WITHIN SECONDS THE CARS RPM QUICKLY INCREASED FOR AT LEAST 10 -20 SECONDS. THE VSC, CK ENGINE, AND TRAC LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. HE TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS ALL THE WAY BACK, NOT STICKING BUT THE RPM'S WERE RACING.- AND GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. HE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL- IT IS A MANUAL AND PULLED OVER. THE RPM WAS STILL RACING. HE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN HE TURNED IT BACK ON THE RPM WAS NORMAL BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS STAYED ON. THE CAR HAD THE RECALL REPAIRS COMPLETED ON FEB. 19, 2010. HE CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY ASKED HIM TO DRIVE IT IN, WHICH HE DID. THEY CHECKED HIS FLOOR MATS AND THERE WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THEM. THEY HAVE OPENED A SERVICE REPAIR WITH TOYOTA CORP. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER AT THIS TIME. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS DONE THIS. *TR

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA S. I TEST DROVE THIS VEHICLE LOCALLY AND DID NOT THINK TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. I PLACED AN ORDER OF THIS VEHICLE SHORTLY AFTER THE TEST DRIVE TO GET PREFERRED COLOR INTERIOR/EXTERIOR OF CAR. I NOTICED A COUPLE DAYS AFTER WHEN TAKING IT ON THE HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH IT SWAYS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OF LANE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR NOW AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GO OVER 60 MPH ON THE 94 HIGHWAY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I DRIVE MOSTLY LOCALLY FOR THIS REASON. WHEN I DO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY I ALWAYS NEED TO BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS AND PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO STEERING AND IT WORRIES ME ESPECIALLY ON DAYS WHEN IT IS REAL WINDY AND IT MAKES IT REAL DIFFICULT FOR ME TO STEER. I HAVE TALKED TO TOYOTA DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED WITH AND THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF "ROAD CROWN". I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE ISSUE AND AM VERY CONCERNED. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH A SERIAL NUMBER STARTING WITH A "J". TOYOTA TOLD ME MY CAR ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED TWO OCCASIONS WHERE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BEEN STUCK. ONCE WHEN THE CAR WAS IN PARK ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND I THOUGH IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT SO I SWITCHED OUT FLOOR MATS SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THEN ON SAT, 3/13/10 I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY AND I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL TO SPEED UP BECAUSE A CAR WAS BESIDE ME. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE PEDAL WAS STUCK AND I CONTINUED TO SPEED UP WHEN I LET PRESSURE OFF THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WASN'T STOPPING. THINKING I WASN'T PRESSING HARD ENOUGH I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE PETAL STILL NOT EVEN SLOWING DOWN. FINALLY, I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND COULD STILL HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING BUT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN QUICKLY. THINKING THAT I WAS IMAGING IT WHEN THE CAR SLOWED ENOUGH I SHIFTED IT BACK TO DRIVE AND IT TOOK OFF AGAIN WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I QUICKLY SHIFTED IT BACK INTO NEUTRAL AND WAS WONDERING WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO AND I HEARD A LOUD POP OR SNAP WITH THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN THE CAR WAS FINE. IT STOPPED ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT ME TURNING OFF THE CAR. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT AND IT WASN'T STUCK. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM BUT SAID THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO FIX ANYTHING IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL AS THE CAR I HAVE WAS MADE IN JAPAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 10V023000 AND 10V017000: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500 AND THE CURRENT WAS 4,295.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISM WAS SET AT 55 MPH. WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE. HE THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL GEAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID A COLLISION; HOWEVER, HE DROVE THE VEHICLE INTO A NEARBY DITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HE DID HOWEVER REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 10V023000: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,856.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL EXHIBITED MINIMAL RESISTANCE, CAUSING THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE TO SWAY OUTSIDE OF THE TRAVELED LANE WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON HIS VEHICLE PERTAINING TO THAT TYPE OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HE WOULD OFTEN EXPERIENCE SUDDEN SURGING OF THE VEHICLE ENGINE UPON REMOVING HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND TRAVELING AT A STEADY SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

SPECIFICALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WILL SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE IT IS ENCOUNTERING A VERY STRONG CROSSWIND. IT HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE I OWNED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT IS INFREQUENT AND SO FAR HAS NOT CAUSED MUCH CONCERN AS FAR AS SAFETY. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA BY EMAIL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, IT ONLY LASTS ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS AND ALTHOUGH IT FEELS LIKE A STRONG CROSSWIND IS BLOWING, THERE HAS BEEN NO WIND. THE TIRES ARE ALSO IN GOOD SHAPE AND ARE ROUTINELY ROTATED AND BALANCED. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE OR NOT, BUT A WEB SEARCH HAS FOUND THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I AM VERY DISTURBED BY THAT, AND ESPECIALLY SINCE TOYOTA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINTS. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IN MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA S. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS GREATER THAN 55 MPH, THERE IS AN INHERENT INABILITY IN THE STEERING SYSTEM TO COMPLETELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY VEER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT WITH NO INPUT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, AS IF SUDDEN GUSTS OF WIND WERE BLOWING THE VEHICLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE. MAINTAINING A STRAIGHT LINE PATH AT THIS SPEED IS FAR MORE DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES FAR MORE ATTENTION THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. WITHOUT AN IMMEDIATE REACTION TO THIS UNNATURAL FEELING STEERING SYSTEM, THE VEHICLE IS IN DANGER OF ENTERING ANOTHER LANE OR VEERING OFF THE ROAD. ALTHOUGH I HAVE SOMEWHAT GOTTEN USED TO THE VERY PECULIAR HANDLING OF THIS MODEL'S EPS AND NO LONGER FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY, I FEEL THAT A RECALL TO IMPROVE THE POORLY TUNED STEERING (AT LEAST ON THE S TRIM) IS PRUDENT AND WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS, INJURIES, AND DEATHS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS SHIFTED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION.
