2010 Toyota Corolla complaints

IN OCTOBER 2009 I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM SANSONE ROUTE 1 TOYOTA IN AVENEL NEW JERSEY. FEBRUARY 22 2010 I BROUGHT THE COROLLA TO THIS DEALERSHIP FOR A FIX RELATED TO THE ACCELERATION RECALL. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM ABOUT THE POWER STEERING. AFTER 90 MINUTES THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING.THEY GAVE ME THIS IN WRITING. THEY ALSO WROTE THAT THEY FIXED THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR AND 4 MINUTES LATER I HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION INCREASED BY ITSELF. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 8600 DOLLARS OF REPAIRS . I AM INJURED . IS TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE? MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I TRIED TO REACH TOYOTA S 800 NUMBER BUT SO FAR I HAVE WAITED 3 HOURS AND NOBODY ANSWERS. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BOUGHT 2010 COROLLA ON 2/27/2010, FELT THE WHEEL IS VERY TIGHT COMPARING TO THE RENTAL 2010 COROLLA I HAD BEFORE PURCHASING THIS COROLLA. SENT IT TO DEALER, THEY FELT THE SAME WAY, AND "SWAP THE POWER STEERING" FOR ME WHILE KEPT IT IN FOR 11 DAYS. I TOOK IT HOME YESTERDAY, BUT FOUND ITS AS TIGHT AS BEFORE. I FEEL ITS LIKE DRIVING A TRUCK, AND POWER STEERING IS BARELY WORKING, ESPECIALLY THE SPEED IS OVER 20MPH. I FEEL I HAVE TO HOLD VERY TIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE HIGHWAY TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND REACH SPEEDS OF OVER 40 MPH IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR IN THE PROPER DRIVING LANE. THE CAR BEGINS TO SWAY AS IF IT IS BEING BUFFETED BY HARD WINDS. OFTEN IT TAKES TWO HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET CONTROL OF THE CAR'S SWAYING MOTION AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT IT CORRECTED, IT SWAYS AGAIN AND CAN EASILY OVERCORRECT ITSELF. *TR

STEERING PROBLEMS WITH MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CAR SEEMS TO WANDER ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. *TR

2010 COROLLA S STEERING IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. CAR SEEMS TO WONDER ALL OVER THE ROAD. STEERING SEEMS TO BE WAY TO RESPONSIVE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHEN THE CONTACT APPLIED MINIMAL PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AT A RAPID RATE OF SPEED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH HER SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,478 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,741. UPDATED 04/23/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD WHEN DECELERATING. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. UPDATED 05/05/10.*JB

I WAS GOING TO WORK WHEN MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, AND CAR ACCELERATED STRAIGHT INTO A FENCE. BOTH MY MOTHER AND I WERE INJURED. I GOT A TOYOTA SPECIALIST TO LOOK AT THE CAR, IT TOOK THEM THREE AND A HALF WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT TO SEND THAT SPECIALIST TO LOOK AT THE CAR. HE THEN SAID THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE BODY SHOP I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I GOT IT TO GET THE BRAKES FIXED AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FIXED. I HAVE GONE TWICE ALREADY AND MY BRAKES STILL AINT FIXED AND GIVING ME PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA STILL VEERS FROM LANE TO LANE EVEN AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED. THE DEALER TOOK THE CAR IN AND "REALIGNED" THE WHEELS AND SAID IF THERE IS A RECALL, YOU CAN SHOW THAT WE AT LEAST LOOKED AT YOUR CAR. THE CAR STILL GOES FROM LANE TO LANE AND NEVER TRACKS STRAIGHT. IF MY ATTENTION GOES TO SEE IF I CAN PASS A CAR ETC, I AM HEADED TO THE OTHER LANE AND HAVE TO CORRECT RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED-WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR-PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL!!-THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY WITH TOYOTA'S ELECTRONIC STEERING AND I BELIEVE, AS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, HAVE PUT AND UNSAFE CAR ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AND STATED WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED OVER 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL DRIFT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THIS WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE DRIVER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHERE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE CONTACT FELT THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 200.

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS MAJOR ISSUES WITH STEERING. CHANGED TIRES AND ISSUES STILL PERSISTS. I CAN NOT CONTROL THE CAR UNLESS I ALWAYS OVER CORRECT THE STEERING. HARD TO KEEP IN LANES ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO BRAKES SEEMS TO BE SOFT AT TIMES AND NOT ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. *TR

CAR WONDERS WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD OR HIGHWAY, USUALLY ABOUT 40 MPH OR FASTER, CONSTANT FEELING OF DRIFTING (FEELS LIKE THERE IS A STRONG CROSSWIND BLOWING THE CAR AROUND.) TIRE PRESSURE IS PROPER AS STATED ON DOOR JAM, AS WELL MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN STEERING IF TIRE PRESSURE IS LOWER OR HIGHER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND SHIFTED INTO GEAR; THE RPMS INCREASED TO 220 WITH A SUDDEN SURGE. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE WITH AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER FURTHER OBSERVATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL), WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,700. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I PURCHASED IT IN JULY AND REALIZED FAIRLY SOON THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN LARGE SUV'S FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A SMALL CAR. MY GROWN SON USED MY CAR TO GO ON A ROAD TRIP AND WHEN HE GOT HOME, HE TOLD ME I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. HE SAID HE COULD HARDLY KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. IF YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL FOR EVEN A SECOND, THE CAR VEERS TOWARDS THE DITCH. IT SEEMS TO MOSTLY HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT FOR AWHILE AS I FELT COMFORTABLE BECAUSE IT HAS A FULL WARRANTY. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CAR ABRUPTLY VEERED INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND I ALMOST SIDE SWIPED THE CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE. IT WAS AS IF A HUGE BLAST OF WIND HIT ME FROM THE LEFT AND SHOVED ME INTO THE RIGHT LANE. IT SCARED ME AND I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA AGAIN THIS WEEK AND THEY TELL ME AGAIN....NOTHING WRONG. THE CAR IS SQUIRRELLY AND ALL OVER THE ROAD. I REALLY FEEL THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING IN THIS CAR AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. [XXX] *TR

CAR WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. I STARTED THE CAR AND PUT IT ON R (REVERSE) AND STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING STALL. BRAKE WAS REALLY HARD AND WOULDN'T GO ALL THE WAY DOWN. CAR WAS STILL MOVING REALLY SLOW. I CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION TO D AND THE CAR WAS STILL GOING BACK. BRAKE WAS STILL HARD, I PUSHED DOWN EFFECTIVELY BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP NOW. I TURNED THE TRANSMISSION TO P (PARKING) AND THEN TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE BRAKE BECAME LOOSE AND I COULD PUSH IT ALL THE WAY DOWN. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE AFTERWARD. *TR

TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT ON , WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, BRAKE, CHECK-ENGINE, PANIC MODE AND AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHTS WENT ON. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED TWICE ALREADY, FIRST STARTING AS A BRAKE FAILURE, THEN ALMOST LEADING TO THE ACCIDENT WHEN EVERYTHING FAILED AT ONCE. ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE IN THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME RUN AROUND, THEY STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT OR WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THIS CAR IS BEYOND UNSAFE TO DRIVE, LUCKILY IT DIDN'T LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES BOTH TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON FEBRUARY 15 BY ME AND I REPORTED THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT AS INTO TRAFFIC IF I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE MANUFACTURE KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO HOURS, RETURNED IT TO ME CLAIMING SOMETHING IN THE BRAKES WERE NOT LINED UP, BUT CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND THE BRAKES HAD BEEN "LUBRICATED". FEBRUARY 17, 2010 THE BRAKES RELEASED AFTER BEING APPLIED TO AVOID HITTING A CAR AHEAD OF MY CAR WHO HAD SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. I REAPPLIED THE BRAKES AND HEARD AN EXTREAMLY LOUD NOISE COMMING FROM MY COROLLA, THEN THE BRAKES CAUGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR AND FINALLY STOPPED. *TR

WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA (PURCHASED ON 9/10/09) ON MIRAMAR, PKWY IN MIRAMAR, FLORIDA, AT 45 MILES PER HOUR A TRUCK CUT HIM OFF. WHEN HE HIT THE BRAKES TO STOP, THE ABS LOCKING SYSTEM SKIPPED AND NEVER FULLY STOPPED? HAD THE TRUCK NOT SPED UP TO HELP HIM AVOID HITTING HIM, HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SCRATCHING SOUND (ABS) SINCE 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASE (500 MILES). ON THE FIRST TRIP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/25/09, AFTER 5 DAYS AND AN HOUR AND 1/2 DRIVING WITH ONE OF THE MECHANICS, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE ANTI LOCKING SYSTEM, THAT IS JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. IT HAS SINCE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE FOR A TOTAL OF 15 DAYS THAT I HAVE COUNTED FOR THE SAME SCRATCHING NOISE AND MULTIPLE OTHER THINGS, SUCH AS THE STEERING, THE TIRES RATTLING AND BALANCING ISSUES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (3/11/10) I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT MY HUSBAND SHOULD BRING IN THE CAR TO TRY AND DUPLICATE THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM NOT WORKING. DOES HE HAVE TO DUPLICATE ALMOST GETTING INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT IN ORDER FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE BRAKING PROBLEM? I THINK NOT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN GIVE ME A PRIUS AS A LOANER. WOW!!!! I TRADED IN A 2002 BMW X5 FOR THE RELIABLE SAFE COROLLA. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE. *TR

WHERE THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT OWNERS ARE MAKING THIS WHOLE PROBLEM UP, AND TRIED TO CHARGE ME $100,00 FOR AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON THE CAR. HE ALSO REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR OR RENTAL CAR AT TOYOTA'S COST WHILE THEY CHECKED THE CAR OUT FOR A STICKING ACCELERATOR PEDAL PROBLEM BECAUSE THE RECALL "FIX" WAS ALREADY DONE ON THIS VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY THE "FIX" DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH FATAL RESULTS. *TR

VEHICLE STEERING DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT. CANNOT KEEP CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS WINDY, WHEN IT ACTUALLY ISN'T WINDY. VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW, JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS OLD.

I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED WITH THE BRAKES IS THAT THEY SEEM TO GRIND WHEN I AM BRAKING OVER BUMPY SURFACES. IT HAPPENS WITH OUT WARNING, I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR.

WHEN A BLOW MY NOSE DIRT COME OUT, AND THE CAR IS ALSO LIKING ALOT OF OIL. THIS SITUATION IS A HEALTH PROBLEM. THIS IS A TOYOTA 2010 PLEASE TAKE THEM OUT OF THE MARKET. THANK YOU *TR

2010 COROLLA IS UNSTABLE AT SPEED OVER APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CAR WANDERS DANGEROUSLY TO LEFT AND RIGHT, BEING PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO ANY CROSS WIND OR TURBULENCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE ANY VEHICLE CONTROLS (SUCH AS TURNING ON THE DEFROSTER) WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT HAVING THE CAR VEER SUDDENLY OFF COURSE. THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS MISSING A SUSPENSION COMPONENT IN THE FRONT END- THERE IS A DANGEROUS LACK OF STABILITY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I EVEN PURCHASED NEW TIRES AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES IN AN ATTEMPT TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS THE CAR AND NOT THE TIRES CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA 4 DR LE MODEL, WHICH I BOUGHT IN JULY 2009. I CONTINUE TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR "WANDERS" ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING; GENERALLY IT IS REALLY NOTICEABLE ABOUT 50 MPH. WHEN THERE ARE WINDY CONDITIONS (FREQUENT IN KANSAS), I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL SINCE THE WIND EXACERBATES THE WANDERING OF THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE CROWN OF THE PARTICULAR ROAD, BUT IT DOES IT ON ALL ROADS. MY WIFE HAS DRIVEN THE CAR AND NOTICED THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BUT IT CONCERNS ME THAT A CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE IN A REASONABLE STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED THAT DID IT; IT IS NOT THE FIRST TOYOTA I'VE EVER OWNED, AND HAVE NEVER EVER HAD SUCH A PROBLEM. I CANNOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE OF INCIDENT, AS IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME, SO I WILL INDICATE THE DELIVERY DATE OF THE VEHICLE TO ME. *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA DIFFICULT STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STEERING "STICKS" IN POSITION WHEN CORRECTING AND REQUIRES CONSTANT RE-CORRECTION. CAR DOES NOT SELF CENTER UPON LEAVING CURVES. WHEN CORRECTING TO THE LEFT, CAR WILL CLIMB OVER CROWN INTO ON-COMING LANE UNLESS RE-CORRECTED. DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT, REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION AND IS FATIGUING. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) THIS IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION . I FILED A PRIOR INCIDENT REPORT AND HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE ON FEB 28 2010. AGAIN MY VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND LEAPED FORWARD. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO PLACE IT IN NEUTRAL . THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD, IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN (AFTER I TOOK OUT THE MAT I WAS TOLD IT MAY HAVE BEEN I HIT THE CRUISE CONTROL(EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED I HIT THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED ITS ACCELERATION.) THIS DEALERSHIP EVEN HAS TOLD OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE CALLED IN THEY HAVE NOT HAD ONE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM( I WAS STANDING BY THE SERVICE DESK WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE).TOYOTA WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IN FACT HAS SPENT MORE EFFORT TO MAKE ME FEEL ITS MY FAULT OR I AM MISTAKEN. WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO DO TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM ? IT APPEARS TOYOTA IS IN DENIAL BECAUSE THE FIX WILL COST TO MUCH. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE OR GET INJURED? I AM REQUESTING AND HOPE OTHERS ARE REQUESTING THAT THE HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TAKE A STRONGER ACTION . THIS HAS GONE ON TO LONG WITHOUT SOMETHING BEING DONE. PLEASE HELP. [XXX] *TR

I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY COROLLA TO THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST EVERY WEEK SINCE 01/28/2010 AND EVERY WEEK I COMPLAINED ABOUT HOW THE CAR WAS DRIFTING SIDE TO SIDE AND HOW ON LOW WINDY DAYS I HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP IT IN ITS LANE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65MPH. AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT OVER THERE THEY SAY "WELL THE CAR IS WORKING TO FACTORY STANDARDS" AND THEY WILL SEND ME ON MY WAY. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES BLED AND MY CAR ALIGNMENT DONE TWICE AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 2000+ MILES ON IT. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY GAVE ME THIS CUST STATES VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LIKE THE COMPUTER IS DRIVING THE CAR ON ITS OWN ~|~PERFORMED HEALTH CHECK ON ALL SYSTEMS. NO TROUBLE CODES STORED. TEST DROVE VEHICLE ON 10 MILE TRIP AND ~|~VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE DIRECT CUSTOMER TO TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 IF THEY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND CALLED THE # TO THEM AND THEY SAID SINCE THE TECH COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THEN THERE IS NO PROBLEM. BULL. SO ON 03/01/2010 I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOMEONE GO ON A DRIVE WITH ME AND I MADE SURE IT WAS A WINDY DAY SO THEY CAN SEE HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP THE CAR CENTERED IN ITS LANE. THE MECHANIC THAT WENT WITH ME SAID OH I SEE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HE EVEN HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING THE CAR FROM WONDERING OFF. SO HE SAID WELL IT COULD BE THE TIRES ARE NOT TO THE RIGHT POUNDS. I SAID NOPE I HAD THE AIR DONE TO FACTORY STANDARD

ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65-70 MPH), THE VEHICLE WILL FEEL AS THOUGH THE STEERING IS LOOSE...LIKE I'M GOING OVER A METAL-GRATE BRIDGE, WHERE THE CAR MOVES SIDEWAYS ON IT'S OWN. I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 100 HIGHWAY MILES A DAY, AND THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA ON 3/4/10, BUT THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT FEEL THE STEERING PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL IT WAS SUFFICIENTLY TESTED, AS THEY DID NOT DO ANY HIGHWAY DRIVING. THEY'VE DISMISSED MY FEARS AND WILL NOT BE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR MY DAUGHTER. WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH OR HIGHER, THE VEHICLE WANDERS. IT CONSTANTLY FEELS LIKE SUDDEN GUSTS OF WIND ARE PUSHING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNNERVING. I AM A CAPTAIN WITH A MAJOR AIRLINE, AND I TOOK THE CAR OUT TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT MY DAUGHTER HAS EXPLAINED TO ME. IN 31 YEARS OF FLYING, I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE INSECURE IN A VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO RELAX. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR VIGILANCE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE REQUIRES SO MUCH CONCENTRATION THAT WHAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE 4 HOUR DRIVE FROM MY DAUGHTER'S COLLEGE TO HER HOME IS EXHAUSTING. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA "S" PURCHASED BY MY WIFE IN JULY 2009, WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . SHE DRIVES THE CAR ONLY LOCALLY ON SUBURBAN STREETS, AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 45 MPH, AND HAS PLACED LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON THE CAR IN 7 MONTHS. RECENTLY WE TOOK THE CAR FOR A 'ROAD TRIP' OF ABOUT 175 MILES EACH WAY, WITH ME DRIVING. THIS CAR DOES NOT "STEER" PROPERLY ON THE HIGHWAY, IF "PROPER" MEANS THAT IT FOLLOWS THE DRIVERS INPUT AND CONTROL MOVEMENTS. AT LOW SPEEDS IT SEEMS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES EASILY LIKE MOST CARS WITH POWER STEERING, AND THE CAR FOLLOWS THE STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENTS FAIRLY WELL. BUT AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO "LOCK" INTO A POSITION AND RESISTS BEING MOVED TO EITHER SIDE UNTIL EXCESSIVE FORCE IS APPLIED, SEVERAL POUNDS OF FORCE I WOULD SAY, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL JUMPS TO A NEW POSITION AND THE CAR TAKES OFF TO THAT SIDE, REQUIRING ANOTHER HARD PULL ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO TRY TO GO BACK TOWARD CENTER. I HAD TO FIGHT THIS CAR FOR THREE HOURS EACH WAY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE SLIGHTEST INATTENTION WAS LIKELY TO RESULT IN THE CAR HEADING FOR ONE EDGE OR THE OTHER OF THE LANE, SINCE IT SEEMS TO PERIODICALLY JUST "DRIFT" OFF PATH FOR NO APPARENT REASON-- NO CHANGE IN ROAD SLOPE OR GEOMETRY, BUT THE CAR WOULD START MOVING TOWARD ONE SIDE OF THE OTHER. (TIRE PRESSURES WERE CHECKED BEFORE THE TRIP). OUR FAMILY HAS OWNED 6 TOYOTAS BEFORE THIS ONE, AND NONE OF THEM HAS EVER HAD THE LACK OF RESPONSE AND "WANDERING" PROBLEMS OF THIS CAR. WE STILL

1. REGULAR DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITION, SOMETIMES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, SOMETIMES FOR A FEW SECONDS. 2. SPEED CONTROL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONSISTENT. RPM METER WOULD GO ABOVE NORMAL 2000 REVS PER MINUTE EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. 3. WAS REPAIRED BY DEALER AS PART OF THE GAS PEDAL RECALL. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. 4. I DO NOT THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS PEDAL, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL AS THE RPM METER CLEARLY SHOWS THE REVS ARE WAY HIGHER THAN NORMAL. IN FACT, AFTER THE GAS PEDAL RECALL REPAIR, OUR 4 MONTHS CAR NOW BURNS MORE GAS THAN BEFORE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHENEVER THE CONTACT TRAVELED OVER ROUGH TERRAIN, HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD WOBBLE AND SHAKE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 92000.

ON MONDAY (MARCH 1ST) TOYOTA SERVICE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT ACCORDING TO TOYOTA ENGINEERS' REPORT, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GAS PEDAL AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THE CAR. TOYOTA'S OFFICIAL EXPLANATION IS 'OPERATING AS DESIGNED, THE ECM WILL COMMAND HIGH IDLE AT TIMES FOR PROPER EMISSIONS SYSTEM OPERATION' THIS EXPLANATION DOES NOT MAKE SENSE SINCE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE; I AM DRIVING THE CAR IN THE 5TH GEAR AND AROUND 3000 RPM. WHEN I NEED A SUDDEN STOP, I LET GO THE GAS PEDAL AND HIT THE BREAK. THE ECM COMMANDS HIGH IDLE EVEN I HIT THE BREAKS; THE PISTONS ARE STILL WORKING (THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING IN GEAR) WITH 3000 RPM SO I AM NOT ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT FREQUENTLY HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL AND ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE STEERING HAS GIVEN ME A SENSE OF CONTROL LOSS SIMILAR TO THE SENSATION OF HYDROPLANING. *TR
