2010 Toyota Corolla complaints

I PULLED OUT OF A GAS STATION. THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I STEERED BACK INTO THE GAS STATION AND STOPPED BY GOING INTO A SNOW BANK. I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA AND I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY HOUSE. AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS. NO ONE HAS LOOKED AT IT SINCE. *TR

ONGOING STEERING PROBLEM. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30 MPH THE STEERING BECOMES OVERLY SENSITIVE CAUSING THE CAR TO DRIFT RIGHT AND LEFT AND NOT TRACK PROPERLY. HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST STEERING TO STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE. NO PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE ALIGNMENT OR TIRES. JUST STEERING PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING PROBLEMS- TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER WHERE IT STAYED FOR 3 DAYS ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR IT HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 2 MILES?THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. I INFORMED THE DEALER THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WOULD BE LEAVING IT UNTIL IT WAS FIXED OR THEY COULD KEEP IT. DEALER INFORMED ME IF A RECALL OCCURRED THEY WOULD FIX THE CAR BUT FOR NOW THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR? MAKES SINCE TO ME! WILL IT TAKE MORE DEATHS TO STOP AN OUT OF CONTROL AUTO MAKER??????????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

OUR 2010 COROLLA HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS PUT ON CRUISE CONTROL AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER, SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO A FRIGHTENING SPEED. THE BRAKE THANKFULLY WORKED. WE HAVEN'T USED CRUISE CONTROL SINCE. THIS WAS TERRIFYING. THE DATE IS AN APPROXIMATION. WE REPORTED IT TO OUR DEALER AND THEY JUST DISMISSED IT. *TR

MY TOYOTA COROLLA SWAYS BACK AND FORTH VERY BADLY ABOVE SPEEDS OF AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH. *TR

RENTAL CAR, TOYOTA COROLLA IN LOS ANGELES WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. AS I WAS GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR IT WAS AS IF I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A WIND STORM. THE CAR WOULD NOT MAINTAIN LANE VERY WELL AND THE STEERING WHEEL TRAVEL REQUIRED TO KEEP IT IN LINE WAS EXCESSIVE. THE WHEEL POSITION HAD TO BE MAINTAINED NOT WITH SLIGHT MOVEMENT BUT SWEEPING MOVEMENTS FROM POSITIONS ABOUT 10 TO 2 ON A CLOCK FACE. DUE TO ONLY USING THE CAR TO DRIVE FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE HOTEL AND BACK, MOST OF MY DRIVING WAS HIGHWAY ON SMOOTH ROADS WITH NO ADVERSE WEATHER OR TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. *TR

WE HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH STEERING PROBLEM. CAR WANDERS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AT HIGH SPEED OVER 50 MPH. NO ACCIDENTS, BUT SCARY TO GET ON FREEWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 75 MILES AN HOUR, MY 2010 COROLLA SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN ALL CONDITIONS. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WHEN SLOWING DOWN WHERE THE GAS PEDAL WILL TAKE LONGER THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO AN ACCEPTABLE AREA AND STOP ACCELERATING. THIS SECOND ISSUE HAS NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SOME THREE MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD A SOLUTION IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN ONE IS. BOTH PROBLEMS HAVE CONVINCED ME TO CARPOOL TO WORK UNTIL A SOLUTION IS IDENTIFIED. *TR

I DRIVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM; ESPECIALLY IF I AM TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR AND AM MAKING A RIGHT TURN(EVEN SLIGHTLY TURNING RIGHT). IT'S LIKE THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND THE STEERING GETS LIKE A MAC TRUCK. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP AND/OR POTHOLE. IT MOST RECENTLY EVEN HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD AND I WASN'T APPLYING THE BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. WITHIN AN HOUR OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP; IT HAPPENED TWICE YET THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. SUPPOSEDLY MY CAR WASN'T RECALLED FOR THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE IN JAPAN BUT FEEL LIKE THE GAS PEDAL IS STICKY AT TIMES. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE I JUST PUT ALL THIS MONEY OUT AND I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE GOING TO TRY AND DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY THIS SUMMER AND NOW WE CANNOT POSSIBLY FOR WE DONOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM CAUSING ALL THIS THAT THEY ARE NOT ADMITTING AND/OR HAVE NOT FOUND YET. I DIDN'T COMPLAIN OR TAKE THE CAR BACK RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SCION XD AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY ON UNEVEN OR SLICK PAYMENT, THE BRAKES AND/OR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAIL AND THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. THIS USUALLY LASTS ONLY A SECOND OR TWO. I PURCHASED THE CAR THIS OCTOBER AND NOTICED THE ISSUE SOON AFTER. IT WILL HAPPEN A FEW TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR INSPECTION, AND THEY INSIST THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FIXED FOR THE RECENT RECALL. TONIGHT, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THIS TIME AND I CAME VERY CLOSE TO CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS GOING 25-30 MPH ON WET PAVEMENT AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE. *TR

I AM HAVING A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 VEHICLE IT HAS LESS THEN 5,000 MILES AND YET THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE PRACTICALLY PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO WORK, THEY SEEM TO BE NOT WORKING PROPERLY , ESPECIALLY ON ICE COLD DAYS. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT AND LET ME TELL YOU I AM A VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVER AND AM SCARED THAT EVENTUALLY MY BRAKES WILL NOT STOP AND I WILL BE KILLED OR WORSE YET KILL ANOTHER PERSON BY HITTING THEM WITH MY CAR. I NOTICED A RECALL BACK IN AUGUST ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT FOR CARS SOLD IN PA. IT GETS VERY COLD HERE TOO. THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE THEIR ARE LOTS OF DEATHS. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 10,100 MILES, STEERING SUDDENLY PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT RANDOMLY FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, THEN STOPS JUST AS SUDDENLY. IT OCCURS MORE SO AT FASTER SPEEDS, BUT WILL ALSO HAPPEN AROUND 20-30 MPH. DIFFICULT TO STAY IN LANE AS IT DRIFTS EXTREMELY EASILY. TENDS TO FAVOR PULLING RIGHT OVER LEFT, BUT DOES BOTH. HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PULL BACK TO COUNTERACT PULLING. ALSO VERY EASY TO OVERCORRECT AND LOOK LIKE YOU ARE SWERVING. HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED ON MAY 24, 2009. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR, THE BRAKES HAVE "LOCKED UP" OCCASIONALLY. WE TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA TO HAVE THIS CHECKED LAST WEEK; THEY PERFORMED TWO RECALLS AND STATED THAT THE CAR WAS DRIVING PROPERLY. SINCE THEN, THE BRAKES HAVE LOCKED UP TWICE. I LIKEN IT TO HOW YOUR CAR FEELS WHEN THERE IS LOW TRACTION - BUT THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND I AM NOT DRIVING ON ICE, GRAVEL, ETC. I AM ALWAYS ON CLEAR ASPHALT. THE CAR MAKES A "METALLIC HUMMING" SOUND AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP FOR APPROXIMATELY 4-5 SECONDS, DURING WHICH TIME I CANNOT STOP. LUCKILY, 90% OF THE TIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME; HOWEVER, LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH AND I SLID INTO THE INTERSECTION. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CAR WILL DRIFT OR VEER TO LEFT AND SOMETIMES TO THE RIGHT. THE STEERING APPEARS UNSTABLE. WE HAVE RETURNED THE CAR TWICE TO BE FIXED AND WERE ADVISED IT IS OK. MY HUSBAND DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM SIMILAR TO DRIVING AN OLD CAR WITH BAD TIE RODS OR WHERE THE BALL JOINTS WERE SHOT. HE WILL NOT ALLOW MYSELF OF MY DAUGHTER WHO WE BOUGHT THE CAR FOR, TO DRIVE IT. WE ARE FEARFUL OF IT DRIFTING OR VEERING INTO ANOTHER CAR OF SEMI ON THE HIGHWAY. NOTE THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURRING PROBLEM. THIS BEGAN ON JANUARY 12 WHEN WE PURCHASED IT AND HAS CONTINUED. *TR

I AM EXTREMELY UPSET WITH TOYOTA. I PURCHASED MY FIRST EVER TOYOTA, A 2010 COROLLA XRS. WHAT DID A GET FOR MY MONEY? A MULTITUDE OF SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEMS. A DEATH TRAP THAT I AM STUCK WITH. CAN'T SELL IT, CAN'T TRADE IT, STUCK WITH DRIVING IT. A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION, LET ME TELL YOU. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MANDATED TO REFUND OUR MONEY 100% IN FULL FOR KNOWINGLY SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY TOYOTA COROLLA S ON DECEMBER 30, 2009. WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASING THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO FEEL SPONGY AND NON-RESPONSIVE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT THIS MODEL HAD A LONGER BRAKE TRAVEL THAN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. I PERSISTED IN GETTING THE DEALER TO ADJUST THE REAR LININGS AND BLEED THE BRAKES AND THIS SEEMED TO HELP SOMEWHAT. BUT AS THE BRAKES WEAR, I CAN FEEL THE PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DIFFICULT TO MODULATE, HAS A SPONGY, NON-LINEAR FEEL THAT INCREASES BRAKING DISTANCES AND MAKES THE CAR MORE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THESE CARS THAT SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY BY TOYOTA. *TR

FEB. 14 2010, I BOUGHT NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2010. I DIDN'T TEST THIS CAR( I TRUSTED THE QUALITY OF TOYOTA), AND THAN I DROVE IT HOME. ON THE WAY, I FELT SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BE CONTRAL. PULL RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE A LITTLE, STEERING WHEEL CANOT TURN BACK. WHEN I AM DRIVING, I HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS HOLD TTHE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE TIME, I FEEL VERY HEAVY, UNCOMFORTABLE, DANGER, TIRED. I TEST THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT CAN'T GO STRAIGHT EVEN IN 2 SECONDS!! FEB. 15 2010, MY WIFE BROUGHT THIS CAR TO DEALER, THEY TOLD MY WIFE CAN'T RETURN IT, BUT CAN CHANGE IT NEXT DAY. I THOUGHT ONLY THIS CAR NO GOOD, SO I AGREED TO CHANGE IT. FEB. 16 2010, MY WIFE AND ME WENT TO THE DEALER AND CHANGED ANOTHER CAR. I TESTED IT AND FELT BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE. BUT AFTER 2 DAYS, THE SAME PROBLEM COMING, RIGHT NOW I CAN'T RETURN IT. I CALL THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME ALL THE SAME, THAT IS NOT PROBLEM!!!. I AM NOT PROFESSOR TO CAR, I AM JUST BUYER. I FEEL THIS STEERING WHEEL OF TOYOTA 2010 COROLLA VERY BAD AND DRIVING DANGER. *TR

MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A PROBLEM WHEN DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR WOBBLES AND I AM CONSTANTLY STEERING TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT. IT DOESN'T SEEM STABLE--AS IF IT'S BEING BUFFETED BY HIGH WINDS EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CALM DAY. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO VEER OFF THE ROAD AND THEREFORE I HAVE TRIED TO AVOID DRIVING IT ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT ALL THE COROLLAS ARE LIKE THAT AND IT WILL ONLY BE FIXED IF THERE IS A RECALL. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP THIS CAR IF THIS IS NOT FIXED BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAG RECALL HAS EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO BE REPAIRED. UPDATED 7/7/17*JS

2009 TOYOTA COROLLA ACCELERATES BY ITSELF. *TR

WE HAVE PURCHASED NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S MODEL IN NOVEMBER 2009. WE NOTICED WIGGLING AND UNSTABLE FEEL IN STEERING WHEEL. WE THOUGHT SINCE WE HAD OTHER LUXURY CAR BEFORE, WE ARE JUST NOT USE TO DRIVING A CHEAPER CAR. BUT AS TIMES GO BY, IT IS GOING OUT OF ITS DRIVING LANE UNCONTROLLABLY. WE REALLY HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. *TR

STEERING ON 2010 COROLLA. MY 2010 COROLLA WANDERS WHEN YOU TRY TO KEEP IT IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I HAVE TO CONSTANT TRY TO KEEP IT FROM WANDERING. I NOTICE THIS WHEN I FIRST GOT IT IN NOVEMBER 2009, BUT WHEN I HEARD IT ON THE NEWS, I KNEW IT JUST WAS NOT ME. *TR

CAR STEERING DRIFTS WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FOR ANY DISTANCE. *TR

WE HAD A COROLLA 2010. MY WIFE SAID SHE HAD SOME DIFFICULTY TO TURN TO THE LEFT AND SWITCH TO THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR IT'S 3 MONTH CHECKUP, I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING. I TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BECAUSE WHEN DRIVING OVER 45MPH THE CAR PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A SINGLE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I DESCRIBED THE BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE CAR, THEY TOLD ME THAT "THE BRAKES ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I HAVE BEEN USED TO WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO ENGAGE UNTIL THE PEDAL IS AT THE FLOOR BOARD. WHEN THEY WERE READY TO TURN THE CAR BACK OVER TO ME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT ON THE CAR AND THAT THEY ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES AND BLED THE LINES. I NOTICED THAT WHEN THEY "TEST DROVE" THE CAR THEY ONLY WENT 3 MILES. THAT DISTANCE, IN THE PART OF TOWN WHERE THE DEALER IS LOCATED DOESN'T EVEN GET THE CAR UP TO 40 MPH. THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT OF THE CAR DRIFTING IS STILL THERE. NOW THE BRAKES HOP AND CHATTER WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT SPEEDS OF APPX 45 MPH, AND WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR TENDS TO CREEP FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE FULLY ENGAGED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE SOLELY ON THE TOYOTA REPUTATION, AND NOW I AM SORRY THAT I DID. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2,2009 AND AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL/REPAIR. I SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH MY FIRST INSTINCT AND BOUGHT THE DODGE INSTEAD OF THE TOYOTA. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2009. I REPORTED TO TOYOTA THE FACT THAT MY CAR'S STEERING SEEMS TO WANDER ALL OVER ON THE POST-PURCHASE SURVEY SENT TO ME. IT HAPPENS DAILY ON MY WORK COMMUTE OF 35 MILES ONE WAY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, THERE HAS BEEN NO CONTACT. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA W/GAS PEDAL THAT STICKS VERY OFTEN DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION. HAS DONE THIS PROBABLY 100-200 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IN SEPTEMBER. *TR

I RECENTLY LEASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. MY PROBLEM IS OVER THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 12 YEARS NOW, AND THIS VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM 40MPH AND ABOVE. WHEN I SAY UNSTABLE I MEAN THE STEERING IS TOO LIGHT FOR FEEL, AND THE CAR HAS A HORRIBLE TENDENCY TO SWAY INTO ANOTHER LANE. EVERY HIGHWAY TRIP IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ADVENTURE. I READ THAT THIS MAY BE BECAUSE OF ELECTRIC STEERING INSTALLED ON RECENT MODEL COROLLAS...I AM AT A LOSS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE DEALER IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE STEERING, AND I REALLY HAVE A STRONG FEELING IT IS NOT THE TIRES OR BRAKES THAT TOYOTA IS CLAIMING, THAT AFFECTS THE STEERING. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK THERE WAY AROUND THIS ISSUE. I NEED HELP AS I HAVE JUST GOT INTO MY LEASE, OVERALL I STILL THINK ITS A GOOD CAR BUT NOT WITH THIS STEERING, IT TRULY IS SCARY TO DRIVE ON ANY HIGHWAY. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA - STEERING WHEEL MOVES RIGHT OR LEFT AUTOMATICALLY ABOVE SPEED OF 40 MPH. *TR

CAR DOES WANDER WHILE HOLDING STEERING WHEEL STEADY. IT CAN GO EITHER TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW ON NOVEMBER 2 2009. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM TILL A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT CARRIED THE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2010 COROLLA 4-DOOR SEDAN S; IMMEDIATELY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING WAS NOTICED UPON FIRST LONG DRIVE. WHEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKES WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. STEERING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN THE FREEWAY WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT CONSTANT CORRECTIONS, I CALL IT NERVOUS STEERING, WHICH AFTER MORE THAN 50 MILES BECAUSE VERY STRESSFUL AND TIRING. PURCHASE DATE 8-22-09. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA EARLY SEPT 09. THE BRAKES WERE EXAMINED AND AFTER CERTAIN CORRECTIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BETTER BUT NOT PERFECT. AS FOR THE STEERING..THE TECHNICIAN SAYS IT'S WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS...WHAT EVERY THAT MEANS. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM; AFTER REVIEWING THE VEHICLE BROCHURE REGARDING THE STEERING SYSTEM IT READS "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) HELPS GIVES COROLLA STEERING RESPONSE THAT'S EFFORTLESSLY ACCURATE" HOWEVER NOTHING COULD MORE FROM THE TRUTH. IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE AFTER 7000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER...THAT WHEN STEERING THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY...THE CAR WILL LITERALLY LEAVE THE LANE YOUR DRIVING IN WHICH REQUIRES STEERING CORRECTION TO KEEP IT IN THE DRIVING LANE YOU'RE TRAVELING. THE BROCHURE FURTHER READS THAT "EPS ALSO ELIMINATES HYDRAULIC-ASSIST COMPONENTS THAT CAN REDUCE FUEL ECONOMY" HOWEVER I WOULD SAY AT WHAT COST...IF THIS NEW SYSTEM RENDERS THE STEERING PROCESS A VERY NERVOUS AND TIRING EXPERIENCE FOR THE DRIVER. A FATIGUED DRIVER IS

STEERING AND GAS THROTTLE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES HAVING DIFFICULTIES STEERING THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU 'RE NOT IN CONTROL WITH THE WHEEL. EVEN SOMETIMES AT LOWER SPEED. REGARDING GAS THROTTLE THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT RESPONDING WHILE YOU ARE STEEPING THE GAS PEDAL. IT'S LIKE DRIVING ON A NEUTRAL GEAR. WE HAVE NOT REPORTED THE STEERING PROBLEM BUT WE HAVE REPORTED THE GAS PEDAL ISSUE TWICE TO THE DEALER. IT SO HAPPEN THAT THE 2ND COMPLAIN WE DID WAS THE TIME THEY STARTED DOING THE RECALL. GAS PEDAL WHERE CHANGE AS THE RECALL REQUIRED.THE STEERING PROBLEM IS NOW A NEWER CONCERN FOR US. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH STEERING BEFORE BUT WE JUST IGNORE IT. BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RAINING IN OUR AREA DURING THE FAST FEW WEEKS. WE WHERE THINKING THAT THE ROADS ARE JUST WET AND SOMEWHAT IT IS SLIPPERY TO DRIVE BUT EVEN THE WEATHER HAD CHANGED WE SOMETIMES EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. LAST ENCOUNTER WITH THE STEERING PROBLEM IS TODAY(02/20/2010). *TR

PURCHASED A 2010 COROLLA LAST AUGUST. THE STEERING IS "SLOPPY", "LOOSE" - LIKE THERE'S EXCESSIVE "PLAY" IN THE WHEEL - AND NEEDS CONSTANT CORRECTION, OR THE CAR WILL WANDER ALL OVER THE PLACE. A LONG TRIP IN THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE AN EXHAUSTING ADVENTURE. AND THERE'S ONLY A THOUSAND MILES ON IT. YOU CAN ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF OWNERS WHO FEEL THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA IT CONSTANTLY SWAYS WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES I NEED TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS TO KEEP IT FROM GOING INTO ANOTHER LANE. I SWITCHED FROM DRIVING A SMALL VW BEETLE AND WAS FAMILIAR WITH STRONG WINDS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS BUT WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW THERE WAS NO WIND ALL THE TREES WERE STILL AND NO FLAGS WERE WAVING. THERE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I REALLY FELT THE CAR WAS GOING TO SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL IF I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN. I ALSO FEEL A METAL GRINDING SENSATION WITH MY BRAKES WHEN I SLOW DOWN OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR GO OVER A SPEED BUMP. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR IT OCCURRED 6 TIMES. I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHICH IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THERE HASN'T BEEN A TIME THAT I'VE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT FELT THIS SWAYING. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIND A PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T DO A THING TO HELP ME. THAN I HEARD OF OTHER COROLLA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SO I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND THEY NEED TO RECOGNIZE THEY MADE ANOTHER MISTAKE. *TR

PURCHASES NEW COROLLA ON 12/26/09. UPON DRIVING 18 MILES TO MY HOME ON THE FREEWAY, I FOUND IT HARD TO STEER THE CAR. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE OR HYDROPLANING. WHAT A SCARY FEELING. I CALLED MY SALESMAN, HE SAID BRING IT IN, BUT I HAD TO GET HOME TO CARE FOR MY 85 YR OLD MOTHER WHO HAS DEMENTIA. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ONCE. THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF ONLY IN THE TOE AND ADJUSTED AS WERE THE OVER-INFLATED TIRES OF 37 LBS EACH, ADJUSTED TO 34 LBS. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS REPLACE THOUGH I HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE STEERING IS STILL VERY SENSITIVE HAVING TO PULL THE CAR ON A STRAIGHT PATH AS IT TENDS TO VEER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. MY MASTER REPAIR MECHANIC AND I WENT ON A DRIVE TODAY, 02/18/10. HE SAID THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE NOT ALIGNING WITH THE STEERING. FELT AS THOUGH YOU WERE SITTING SIDEWAYS AND TRYING TO DRIVE. I WILL HAVE AN APPT ON MONDAY, 02/22/10 AGAIN WITH FOLSOM TOYOTA, LETS SEE WHAT WE CAN DO??? CARS KEEP AT A DISTANCE AWAY FROM ME AS I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO STEER THE CAR CORRECTLY WITHIN THE LANE??? PS THIS IS MY 4TH NEW TOYOTA, NEVER DROVE ONE THAT FELT THIS SCARY! *TR

MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S HAS AN ISSUE WITH STAYING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR SEEMS TO PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN I GET UP TO 55-60MPH. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND THEY DID SAY ONE TIRE WAS A LITTLE LOW. THEY HAVE PUT AIR IN BUT IT DID NOT CHANGE. *TR

FOR COROLLA 2010 AS YOU MAKE TURNS, IT MAKES A STRANGE NOISE, FOR A BRAND NEW CAR THAT IS VERY UNUSUAL. *TR

FOR CAR BRAKING SYSTEM: AS YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOU HAVE TO PRESS IT REALLY HARD FOR IT TO START TO STOP THE CAR,IF YOU STOP THE CAR, AND RELEASE THE BREAK PEDAL THE CAR GOES SO FAST THAT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ( BUT NOBODY IS PRESSING NO PEDAL AT ALL). THE BRAKING ON A SHALLOW ROAD MAKES THE CAR SHAKE ESPECIALLY THE BRAKING PEDALS AND IT MAKES NOISE, AND AT THE SAME TIME IT IS NEEDED TO PUT SOME EXTRA FORCE AND PUSH THE BRAKES REALLY HARD FOR IT TO WORK, THE ROAD DOES NOT NEED TO BE THAT BAD FOR IT TO HAPPEN, AT TIMES IT HAPPENS ON A VERY SMALL DEPRESSION. *TR
