2010 Toyota Corolla complaints

I RENTED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN FT. LAUDERDALE, FL. CAR HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON I-95, THE CAR SWERVED TO THE LEFT. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM DID NOT REPEAT ITSELF ON THE RETURN TRIP LATER THAT DAY. *TR

SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA BASE MODEL HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO KEEP ON THE ROAD I GO OVER FIFTY AND IT FEELS LIKE A BIG WIND IN CONSTANTLY TRYING TO PUSH ME OFF THE ROAD, I PAY ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND I DON'T TRUST IT AT ALL, WHEN I STOP OR ATTEMPT TO IT MAKES A LOUD ALMOST ABS TYPE SOUND VERY OFTEN AND THE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY TOUCHY AND I FEEL THIS CAR IS JUST A UNSAFE DEVICE WHAT'S NEXT THESE CARS ARE JUNK AND POORLY MADE. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA AT TOYOTA CITY, MAMARONECK, NY ON 8/31/09. I FELT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING MECHANISM, A STRANGE FEELING IN THE BRAKES, HEARD A NOISE IN STEERING WHEEL, AND A STRANGE FEELING IN THE WAY THE CAR RODE IMMEDIATELY WHEN TURNING AND BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/5/09. I DID NOT BRING IT BACK RIGHT AWAY DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, AND I FELT MAYBE I NEEDED TO GET USED TO THE CAR. I HAD A 2003 COROLLA BEFORE, AND THIS CAR FELT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN ITS RIDE. NOT AS TIGHT A RIDE. ON 10/5/09 THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP ALL DAY AND THEY FOUND IT HAD WARPED ROTORS AND NEEDED NEW BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR'S BRAKES MAYBE HAD GOTTEN WET SITTING IN THE RAIN, WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I FELT THAT WAS VERY ODD ON A BRAND NEW CAR, AND WITH ITS PREDELIVERY INSPECTING THIS WAS MISSED. THEY COVERED THE REPAIR. I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AND BROUGHT IT BACK ON 10/19/09. THERE WAS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS TIME THEY BALANCED THE TIRES. AGAIN, NOT CLEAR WHY THEY DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE. I STILL HEARD A NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FELT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A TIGHT DRIVING FEEL. THEY TOLD ME TO LIVE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM. IT WAS HOW THE POWER ASSIST SYSTEM WORKED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. I HAVE FELT THE BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND WELL, AND PULSATE ON ENGAGEMENT, AND I FEEL THE CAR STILL MOVES FORWARD, WHEN TRYING TO STOP. ON 1/23/10 I HIT A

CAR REQUIRES EXCESSIVE STEERING CORRECTIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS IN MY LIFE. THIS BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL VERY VERY TIGHT AND BE CONTINUOUSLY CORRECTING THE STEERING. DEALER SERVICES SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT THERE IS NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT THIS! *TR

DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING AND STEERING CAR AT 60 MPH GOING ACROSS BRIDGE. THERE WAS SOME WIND BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH IN MY OPINION THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSE ME TO BE SO AWARE OF THE DRIFTING. *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 STEERING PROBLEMS CAR WON'T STAY IN THE LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS .... VEERS OFF TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT .... *TR

SOON AFTER PURCHASING, I NOTICED THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT. STEERING WAS NOT AS GOOD AS MY OLD CAR. BACKING UP FROM MY GARAGE IS WOBBLY INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT BACK. AFTER SEEING OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY 2010 COROLLA PURCHASED OCT. 2, 2009. *TR

MY 2010 COROLLA HAS HAD A STEERING PROBLEM SINCE ITS PURCHASE. IN 50 YEARS OF DRIVING IN OVER 25 NEW VEHICLES, IT IS THE WORST. IT WILL NOT TRACK PROPERLY AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. IT WANDERS RANDOMLY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. NOT ALIGNMENT AND NOT WIND CAUSED. YOU MUST MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS EVERY SECOND OR TWO TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE. PASSING OTHER VEHICLES AT HIGHWAY SPEED IS RISKY. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED ON I-95 THE DAY I TOOK THE CAR HOME. MY WIFE DID NOT NOTICE IT WHEN SHE DRIVES UNDER 50MPH; BUT IS VERY EVIDENT AT 65-75MPH. IT IS VERY TIRING TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE YOU MUST REMAIN TOTALLY FOCUSED WITH A FIRM GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL TIMES SINCE YOU MUST RESPOND TO THE CAR'S RANDOM VEERS TO ONE OR THE OTHER SIDE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. I CAN SEE WHERE AN ACCIDENT WOULD BE VERY POSSIBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING OR TRAVELING WITH OTHER VEHICLES TO YOUR LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE CORRECTED, ALONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. I HAD PLANNED TO COMPLAIN TO MY TOYOTA DEALER IN ORANGEBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA WHEN I TOOK MY COROLLA IN FOR THE ACCELERATOR RECALL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS BEFORE AND, UNTIL THIS MONTH, WAS PLANNING TO BUY A 2011 TOYOTA TRUCK. THE STEERING PROBLEM IS REAL AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MONDAY 2/15/2010, FROM DICK MILHAM TOYOTA IN EASTEN P.A. THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING, AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH YOU REALLY NEED TWO HANDS TO STEER THE CAR. I TRAVEL OVER 192 MILES A DAY AND IM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS. I AM GOING TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK, I HOPE YOU ARE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THESE PROBLEMS AND FORCE TOYOTA TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES SEEMED TO RELEASE WHEN SHE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH OVER A BUMPY SURFACE. THE VEHICLE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING OVER ICY ROAD SURFACES OR ROCKS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,452.

AFTER READING ABOUT THE TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING PROBLEMS, I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT OF MY OWN. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM OF FEELING LIKE WIND WHIPPING MY CAR AROUND ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST DAILY SINCE I LEASED MY NEW 2010 COROLLA IN NOVEMBER 2009. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY THE LOS ANGELES AREA ROADS ARE PAVED BUT AFTER READING OTHER OWNERS' SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE NEWS, I AM SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING ME TO FEEL LIKE I HAVE DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING MY CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

AS NOTED ON THE NEWS ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I ALSO OWN A 2010 COROLLA AND EVEN BEFORE THE NEWS I HAD PROBLEMS KEEPING THE CAR STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THE CONDITION GETS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND THE PROBLEM INCREASES WHEN THERE IS LESS GAS IN THE TANK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO CHECK/FIX THE ALIGNMENT AND IT SEEMS TO HELP A LITTLE BIT BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. *TR

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MAKES THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT, STRESSFUL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH ANY SLIGHT HAND MOVEMENT ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSES THE CAR TO VEER SOMETIMES SHARPLY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR INSIDE YOUR LANE. IT STEERS JERKY LIKE A GO CART AND DOESN'T RETURN TO CENTER. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK THREE TIMES AND TOYOTA SAID THAT I'D HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. THEY FINALLY REALIGNED THE FRONT END, PHASE BALANCED THE TIRES, AND CENTERED THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ACTED LIKE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS PROBLEM AND THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD COMPLAINED, SAID I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA, BUT I HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET. *TR

I RENTED A BRAND NEW (ONLY 350 MILES) 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM HERTZ AT THE ORLANDO AIRPORT ON OCTOBER 19, 2009 AND TURNED IT BACK INTO A HERTZ LOCATION IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA ON OCTOBER 23, 2009. I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR TO "TRACK". IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP GOING STRAIGHT AND FELT LIKE THERE WAS A STRONG CROSSWIND (WHICH THERE WASN'T). I TALKED WITH MY WIFE ABOUT THIS ON THAT TRIP, BUT REGRETFULLY, I DID NOT TELL THE HERTZ PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE NOTICED EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2009, WHEN BRAKING AND COMING TO A STOP, THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FREQUENTLY SHUDDERS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NOT YET STALLED. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER (IRA TOYOTA MANCHESTER) DURING 5K MILE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON 1-30-10 AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY HAVE HAD ABOUT A DOZEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM DIFFERENT OWNERS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NOTHING WAS DONE. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT 2010. IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER STRAIGHT, VEHICLE GOES SIDE TO SIDE, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, ESPECIALLY IN HIGHWAYS. I WENT TO THE CAR DEALER (TOYOTA) TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PEDAL AND THEY SAID THE IS WORKING ACCORDING HOW THE MANUFACTURE EXPECTS. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING OVER A POTHOLE OR UNEVEN GROUND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THE BRAKES WOULD GRIND AND STOPPING WOULD NOT BE IMMEDIATE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD THAT NEW BRAKES OFTEN MAKE NOISES. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS FAR FROM A NORMAL NOISE. STILL, THEY ASSURED ME THE CAR WAS SAFE, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A LITTLE LESS THAN 5 MONTHS AND THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO GRIND OVER UNEVEN GROUND. IT WILL CONTINUE TO GRIND UNTIL I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, EVEN IF I AM NO LONGER ON UNEVEN GROUND. THE CAR WILL SLOW OVER THE UNEVEN GROUND, BUT WILL NOT STOP AS EXPECTED, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE. ALSO, YESTERDAY MORNING I STARTED HEARING A "TICK" SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. *TR

WE HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WE BOUGHT IT FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO COMMUTE TO COLLEGE. IT WAS PURCHASED IN MAY 2009 FROM FREEDOM TOYOTA IN HARRISBURG, PA. AFTER QUESTIONING HER ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS PEDAL, SHE SAID THE 'STUCK PEDAL SYNDROME' HAPPENED TO HER ALSO THIS PAST FALL. IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY A DEALER IN ALLENTOWN, PA. SHE THEN ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL 'JERKS OUT OF HER HAND' WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HER MORE THAN ONCE. THE DEALER IN ALLENTOWN WAS TOLD OF THIS, ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT SHE HAD A PROBLEM WITH HER DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NOT ROLLING DOWN WHEN THE SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENED TO HER ONCE. THIS DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE 2 ABOVE MENTIONED OTHER PROBLEMS. I TOLD HER SHE IS TO DOCUMENT ANY FUTURE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I AM ESTIMATING THE INCIDENT DATES. SHE SAID THEY TOOK PLACE IN THE FALL SEMESTER. I DO NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AS TO WHAT HER SPEED WAS AT THE TIME THE STEERING WHEEL HAD A HABIT OF JERKING OUT OF HER HAND. I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS HIGHWAY COMMUTING INVOLVED ALONG WITH NON HIGHWAY DRIVING INVOLVED. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 15, 2010, I DROVE MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR A SHORT ERRAND NEAR MY HOME. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL, I GENTLY PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE THEN PRESSED GENTLY ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO RETURN TO NORMAL SPEED, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED WITHOUT MY TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. I PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND STOPPED THE CAR. THEN THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. ALL THIS OCCURRED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF LEAVING MY HOME. AT NO TIME DID I GO MORE THAN 25MPH. THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 250 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. NO, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE RECALL. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN CA. THEIR RESPONSE, OOPS I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A LETTER BUT ADMITTED NONE WAS SENT. THEY WILL CONTACT MY DEALER. 2 OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE, IF MY HARD BRAKING DID NOT WORK THE CAR WOULD HAVE KEPT ACCELERATING, THE SURGE WAS POWERFUL. ALSO, THE ENGINE DID NOT REV, THE CAR JUST SEEMED TO GET A SIGNAL TO ACCELERATE TO A CERTAIN SPEED. YES, THE EXPERIENCE WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. BEFORE, I WAS WILLING TO GIVE TOYOTA THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, BUT IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW MY GAS PEDAL WOULD GET STUCK AFTER 240 DRIVEN MILES. PLEASE, DO YOUR JOB. TOYOTA SHOULD PERMANENTLY TAKE BACK ANY CARE EXPERIENCING THIS ACCELERATION. THESE CARS SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY OFF THE ROAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT HAS RIGHT AT 4000 MILES ON IT. AT ANY HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH, THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. AT FIRST I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR IS SO SMALL THAT THE WIND WAS MOVING IT AROUND ON THE ROAD. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR OVER A MONTH NOW, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I AM ON THE INTERSTATE. YOU HAVE TO WORK TO GET THE CAR TO STAY CENTERED IN YOUR LANE, OR LOOK AS THOUGH YOU ARE A DRUNK DRIVER SWERVING FROM CENTER LINE TO SHOULDER. THIS ISSUE HAS MADE ME THINK TWICE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR. I ALSO JUST READ THAT TOYOTA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I BOUGHT THIS NEW CAR FOR RELIABILITY AND NOW I AM CONCERNED WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD EVEN BEING PUTTING IT ON THE ROAD AND PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE AT RISK. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS WHETHER IT BE AT THE HANDS OF TOYOTA MOTOR CORP. OR THE NHTSA. EITHER RECALL THE COROLLAS PARTS OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK THAT I PAID FOR A RELIABLE CAR THAT IN FACT IS NOT RELIABLE AFTER ALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, HE NOTICETHAT THE METRIC POWER STEERING DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO LUNGE FORWARD AND THE CONTACT HAD TO CORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL SO IT WOULD MOVE OUT OF THE LANE. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND IN THAT WAY. HE HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO DATE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 120.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO CONTROL. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HE HAD TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH IN ORDER FOR IT TO CONTINUE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TOW END ALIGNMENT WAS A LITTLE OFF. THE DEALER ALIGNED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

BOUGHT 2010 COROLLA IN SEPT 2009, NEW FROM FACTORY. NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMED VERY LOOSE AND UNRESPONSIVE FROM THE DAY WE TOOK POSSESSION. TOLD SALESPERSON WHO SAID IT WAS 'NORMAL'. NEWS MEDIA NOW REPORTS STEERING ISSUES WITH 2010 COROLLAS - FILING COMPLAINT TO REGISTER WITH ODI. NO CRASH OCCURRED, BUT STEERING SHOULD NOT BE THAT LOOSE ON A NEW CAR. PLANNING TO TAKE INTO DEALER NEXT MONTH FOR EVAL. *TR

TOOK DELIVERY OF MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ON JANUARY 13TH, 2010. I AM EXPERIENCING STEERING PROBLEMS WHERE THE CAR DRIFTS/SHIFTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT ANY INPUT. FEELS LIKE A STIFF WIND PUSHING THE CAR FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR MY AWAY-FROM-HOME COLLEGE-STUDENT DAUGHTER. WE WERE AWARE OF THE FLOORMAT PROBLEM WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND TOOK DELIVERY ON OCTOBER 28, 2009. THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE BECAME KNOWN IN JANUARY, 2010. THE POWER STEERING ISSUE JUST BECAME PUBLIC THIS WEEK. I DROVE THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER TAKING DELIVERY TO CHECK IT OUT FOR ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND TO BREAK IT IN. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL BEHAVIORS FOR ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN DURING THIS BREAK-IN PERIOD. HOWEVER, I DID NOTICE WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DELIVERING THE CAR TO MY DAUGHTER THAT THE ELECTRICALLY-ASSISTED POWER STEERING HAD AN UNUSUAL VAGUENESS TO IT. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING BUFFETED BY HIGH WIND OR TURBULENCE FROM FOLLOWING A TRACTOR-TRAILER TOO CLOSELY, EVEN THOUGH THE WIND WAS CALM AND THERE WERE NO TRUCKS WITHIN ONE MILE OF ME. AS I MADE VERY MINOR COURSE CORRECTIONS AS THE ROAD CURVED OR TO CHANGE LANES, IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING WAS BEING OVER-BOOSTED, WHICH CAUSED A BIGGER PATH CORRECTION THAN INTENDED OR EXPECTED. THEN I GOT A SIMILAR REACTION IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT THE OVER-CORRECTION. I THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT AS IF IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT WHEELS WITH A ROPE. THE CAR HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES; I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SETS OF THESE TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES IN THE PAST, AND DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE A PROBLEM. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH ELECTRICALLY-BOOSTED

TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 STEERING ISSUE. CAR DOES FEEL LIKE IT COULD GO OUT OF CONTROL. FEELS LIKE A STRONG WIND IS BLOWING AGAINST THE CAR. MOSTLY AT A HIGHER SPEED. LIKE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DON'T HAVE VIN NUMBER BECAUSE I TRADED THE CAR IN. MY WIFE ALWAYS FELT LIKE SHE WAS GETTING CAR SICK. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE A STRONG CROSSWIND IS BLOWING THE CAR CAUSING ME TO CORRECT THE FEELING OF THE WIND BLOWING THE CAR. IT CAN ALSO BE COMPARED TO THE TIRES BEING CAUGHT IN A GROOVE IN THE ROAD. WHEN I CORRECT THE FEELING OF BEING PUSHED OR PULLED TO ONE SIDE THE VEHICLE OVER CORRECTS ITSELF CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR PUT A VERY FIRM TWO HAND GRIP ON THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. AFTER I TRY TO KEEP THE WHEEL STRAIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS SIDE TO SIDE MOTION FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS ON ITS OWN. *TR

I HAVE TOYOTA COROLLA 2010, BOUGHT IN AUGUST 2009. I HAD A BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR EXISTED FROM THE BEGINNING. MY PROBLEM WITH BRAKE WAS FIRST LIKE A SUSPICIOUS CASE AND INITIALLY UNBELIEVABLE FOR ME.THAT'S WHY I WAS DOUBT AT FIRST! I NEVER BELIEVED 2010 COROLLA (I AM OWNER) COULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SO I PUT OFF WITH THAT FOR A WHILE. HOWEVER, I REALIZED THE FACT AFTER TRAVELING TO CALIFORNIA TO VISIT MY SISTER AND I RENTED A CAR (VOLKSWAGEN) OVER THERE. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, I FOUND OUT HOW SHARP THE BRAKE OF THE CAR WAS. AT THAT TIME I FELT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHARP AND PROPERLY-WORKING BRAKE AND FAILED BRAKE. OTHER UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COROLLA IS THAT WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN UNEVEN ROADS THE BRAKE WAS GOING DOWN COMPLETELY WITH GENERATION OF SUCH ODD SOUNDS LIKE CRACKING OF TWO PIECES TOGETHER! THEREFORE I REALIZED SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE BEING WEAK AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. ALSO, IN TRI-MONTHLY SCHEDULES FOR CHECKING THE CAR, I TOLD THEM I DO NOT LIKE THE BRAKE, IT IS NOT GOOD, NOT SHARP, SLOW TO ACTION, BUT THEY TOLD ME WE CHECKED EVERYTHING AND ALL IS FINE! NOTHING DONE TO FIX THE BRAKE FAILURE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE NO ANY RECORDS OF THESE CONVERSATIONS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, JUST I HAVE A RECEIPT THAT SHOWS I BROUGHT THE CAR FOR CHECKING AND THEY CHECKED IT. AFTER THAT, I CONTINUE TO DRIVING, BUT ONCE AGAIN, I REALIZED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MY NEXT APPOINT

ON NOVEMBER 27, 2009, I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM LAKE CITY, FL TOYOTA. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVED DOWN MORE LIGHT AIR WAS IN THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I ALSO HAVE HEARD A RUBBING SOUND WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. THAT HAS HAPPENED TWICE ALSO. MY FIRST PAYMENT IS NEXT MONTH AND I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS. I AM TAKING MY CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN LAKE CITY, FL IN THE MORNING. *TR

THE STEERING ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS VERY "LOOSE" - IN OTHER WORDS, THE CAR TENDS TO WANDER WITHIN A LANE WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. IT TAKES MORE THAN NORMAL VIGILANCE TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT. IT SEEMS TO BE BUFFETED BY THE WIND (SUCH AS WHEN PASSING A LARGE TRUCK) MORE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I FEEL THE NECESSITY TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING ON THE ROAD. OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE HAD TRACK IN A STRAIGHT LINE EVEN WITH MY HANDS OFF OF THE STEERING WHEEL - NOT SO WITH THE COROLLA. THE CAR REQUIRES A LOT OF ATTENTION TO DRIVE AND CAN BE TIRING TO DRIVE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. *TR

AT SPEED IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CONTROL MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. IT "DRIFTS" FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE. IF I DO NOT USE BOTH HANDS, THE CAR DRIFTS FROM THE LANE MARKER, AND AT TIMES INTO THE NEXT LANE (TO MY LEFT). I HAVE TO OVERCOMPENSATE AND CORRECT TO THE RIGHT SO THAT I DO NOT STRIKE SOMEONE. THE STEERING FEELS VERY LOOSE. I FIRST NOTICED THIS CHARACTERISTIC A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE (APPROXIMATELY 12-20-09. THEIR IS NOT ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, BUT RATHER IT IS A PERSISTENT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE STEERING. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE SEEMS TO WANDER RANDOMLY LEFT OR RIGHT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT FREQUENT ADJUSTMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN. IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON A WINDY DAY AND THE CAR IS BEING TOSSED AROUND. ACTUALLY, ANY WIND AT ALL ONLY MAKES THE MATTER MUCH WORSE. ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE REAR END OF THE CAR HAS A SLIGHT FISHTAILING. THIS IS ALL MOST NOTICEABLE AT 45 MPH AND ABOVE. LOCAL SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT LOOK AT IT FOR THREE WEEKS. I WILL NOT LET MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONLY SIX WEEKS AND WOULD SURELY GIVE IT BACK IF I COULD. DISAPPOINTED THAT I DID NOT GET A RESPONSE TO MY EMAILS SENT TO TOYOTA. *TR

VEHICLE HARD TO HANDLE AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. WILL NOT GO STRAIGHT, CAR WONDERS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CAR HAS A VERY LOOSE STEERING SYSTEM. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT SPEEDS UNDER 45 MPH THE STEERING IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE AND EXTREMELY LIGHT TO TURN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL MOVE AROUND THE LANE WITHOUT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR SEEMS TO PULL FROM SIDE TO SIDE SIMILAR TO THE ALIGNMENT BEING OUT OF LINE, BUT IT GOES BOTH WAYS IN AN ALMOST JERKY MOTION. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN CHANGES IN THE ROAD CONDITIONS, BUT THE CAR WILL DO IT ON COMPLETELY SMOOTH AND FLAT PAVEMENT. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN. *TR

I HAVE ONE OF THE NOTORIOUS TOYOTA COROLLA. THE GAS PEDAL HAS BE FIXED-MAYBE BUT I NOW NOTICE AN EXTREMELY TOUCHY STEERING. IT SEEMS TO TURN OK BUT ON THE STRAIGHT AWAY YOU HAVE TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL TIGHTLY IT JERKS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT ALWAYS! THE FASTER YOU GO THE MORE PRONOUNCED. I USED TO LIVE IN PHILA AND REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE DRIVING ON ICE THIS IS QUITE SIMILAR. VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN YOUR OWN LANE. YOU GUYS NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THIS MESS FROM AND ASKED TO COME IN AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. WE'LL SEE. *TR

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS... THE THREE MOST RECENT OCCURRED ON 2/8, 2/10, AND 2/15 OF 2010. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, I FIGURED IT WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE AND NEEDED DRIVEN (BROKEN IN) SO THE BRAKES WOULD FIND THEIR BEST WORKING LEVELS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED, AND IN ALL ROAD CONDITIONS. THE INCIDENT ON 2/8 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND ONLY GOING ABOUT 5-8 MPH. AS SHE MADE A TURN THE CAR PROCEEDED TO SHUTTER AND THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON, NO BRAKING WAS AVAILABLE DURING THIS INCIDENT, BUT LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON 2/10 I WAS GOING TO TAKE THIS CAR TO FINALLY HAVE THEM FIX THE PROBLEM AND IN (VERY SAFE) GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS I EXPERIENCED WHAT MY WIFE HAD EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE BETTER OF 6 MONTHS. AS YOU PROCEED TO COME TO A STOP THE CAR ACCELERATES UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS (I HAVE TESTED THIS) IF YOU KEEP THE PEDAL AT THE SAME POINT THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO SPEED UP SLOWLY, BUT IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR SEEMS TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED. NOW THIS IS WHERE MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANY LONGER, WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE FURTHER DOWN TO STOP IT LOCKS THE TIRES FOR ABOUT A SECOND BEFORE THE ABS EVEN KICKS IN. BEING THAT THIS IS A COLD AREA AND WE LIKELY HAVE SNOW DURING THE WINTER MONTHS I AM AMAZED THAT IF ANY OTHER COROLLA ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEY ALL HAVE NOT SLID OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I EXPERI

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON 11-7-2009. ON THE TEST DRIVE I COMPLAINED TO THE SALESMAN THAT THE STEERING FELT STRANGE. IT SEEMED TO HAVE A CENTER SPOT AND THEN ANY LEFT OR RIGHT TURN WOULD CAUSE A MINOR PULL EITHER DIRECTION AS IF THE STEERING TURNED ON. THE SALESMAN SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRIC STEERING ON ALL THE NEW CARS. THAT WAS A SLOW SPEED TEST DRIVE. AFTER THE PURCHASE I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FEEL THE STEERING FEEL AS IF I WERE GOING AROUND A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER RIG AND BEING PUSHED AROUND BY THE WIND, BUT YET I WAS NOT NEAR A VEHICLE. IT SEEMED LIKE LOOSE STEERING OR TIRE SQUIRM. WHEN I GOT BACK FROM MY TRIP I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND ASKED IF THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE POWER STEERING OR IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. TO BOTH QUESTIONS MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID NO. ON ANOTHER TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE, IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FISH TAIL SWINGING BACK AND FORTH, LIKE I WAS RIDDING ON BALLOON TIRES, OR WITHOUT SIDEWALLS. I QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN. IN CROSS WINDS OR GOING AROUND A SEMI IT IS WORSE. AT MY 5,000 SERVICE, I ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY STEERING OR TIRE ISSUES, AND MY ADVISOR STILL SAID NO, BUT PART OF THE SERVICE WAS TO ROTATE THE TIRES, AND THIS HAS SEEMED TO LESSEN THE SQUIRM. I NOW HAVE 7,000 MILES ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON OCT. 22, 2009. AT BITTERROOT MOTORS IN MISSOULA, MONTANA. THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I DROVE IT TO OVANDO, MONTANA, NORTH OF MISSOULA, ON A TRYOUT ROAD TRIP. I NOTICED THAT IT WAS FLIGHTY ON THE ROAD AND SEEMED TO WAVER WITHOUT REASON (NO WIND, NO SEMI TRUCKS, WIND SHEAR, RAIN, ETC). BEING A NEW CAR TO ME, I PASSED IT OFF AS THE NATURE OF A LIGHTER AND SMALLER VEHICLE THAN WHAT I WAS ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING (MY OTHER VEHICLE IS A 2004 FORD F150). SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE CONTINUALLY EXPERIENCED THIS WITH NO EXTERNAL EXPLANATION (IE: WEATHER, ROAD CONDITIONS, ETC). THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH AND OVER AND IT IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE. I COMMUTE REGULARLY BETWEEN STEVENSVILLE, MT., AND MISSOULA, MT., FOR WORK (28 MILES ONE WAY), AND I OFTEN FIND THAT THE CAR WILL DRIFT LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN I AM AT A STEADY SPEED. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST OF RECALLS FOR THE RECENT ACCELERATOR ISSUE. I NEED TO ADD HERE THAT THE SECOND DAY AFTER BUYING THE CAR, I WAS GETTING FUEL AND AS I TURNED FROM THE PUMP TO RE-ENTER THE CAR, "POP!!" AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TOTALLY SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AT BITTERROOT MOTORS AND DROVE IT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPT TO GET IT FIXED. THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY, AND TOLD ME THEY SUSPECTED IT WAS A PREEXISTING STRESS FRACTURE IN THE GLASS THAT FINALLY GAVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BASED ON SAFETY RATINGS, CONSUMER REPORTS RATINGS, AND TO GET BETTER GAS

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM AUTOWAY TOYOTA IN SAINT PETERSBURG FOR MY WIFE ON 12/06/09. WE WERE STRESSED OUT AFTER HOURS OF HAGGLING AND HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE SALESMEN. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I DROVE THE CAR MORE (WITH ONLY 40 MILES ON IT) I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WAS HARD TO HANDLE. IT WANDERED. I FOUND THAT I HAVE TO KEEP 2 HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND EYES WIDE AS IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. IN AROUND 6 OR 7 DAYS I WAS BACK AT AUTOWAY TRYING FOR HOURS TO GET THEM TO TAKE IT BACK AND SELL ME A CAMRY FOR MORE MONEY!! THE COROLLA HAD ONLY 85 MILES ON IT. BUT THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN TITLED, SO THEY WANTED TO BUY IT BACK FOR A $3000+ LOSS TO US, AND THEN MAKE MONEY ON THE SALE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE (WHICH IS THE WAYS OF THE CAR DEALER). WE ARE STUCK. SO, IF ASKED, I WOULD TESTIFY IN COURT THAT THE STEERING IN THIS CAR COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE ODDS ARE MUCH HIGHER WITH THIS STEERING SYSTEM, THAT SOMEONE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED. A CAR WITH ONLY 40 MILES ON IT AND YOU NOTICE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS? IMAGINE WHEN IT HAS 100,000 MILES AND WORN TIRES! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TOYOTA, UNTIL THIS. IT MAKES ME SICK EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, AND MAKE THE PAYMENT! I TOLD MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND AUTOWAY 2 MONTHS BEFORE TODAYS NEWS ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEM BROKE!! ANY WAY I CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM(ESPECIALLY IF THEY(AUTOWAY/ AND TOYOTA) WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK, I WILL! CALL ME TO TESTIFY..*TR

1. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF LEASING A 2010 COROLLA, I NOTICED THE CAR MOVING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. SEEMS TO WANT TO PULL. 2. IT HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINE THE LEASE DATE OF 1/16.

ON 27JAN10, I DROVE HOME AND PARKED THE CAR UNDER THE CARPORT BEFORE AN ICE STORM HIT OKLAHOMA WITH NO ISSUES. ON FRIDAY 29JAN10, I HAD TO MOVE MY CAR TO SHOVEL THE SNOW FROM THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I MADE SURE EVERYTHING (DEFROSTER, FAN, ETC) WERE OFF AND TRIED AGAIN. IT WOULDN'T START AND SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ALMOST STARTING BUT NOT QUITE. I TRIED A 3RD TIME AND IT FINALLY STARTED. ALL THREE ATTEMPTS WERE SEVERAL SECONDS LONG. THE DASHBOARD WOULD NOT LIGHT UP AND AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS, IT FINALLY LIT UP BUT THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND VSC ICON LIGHT WERE ON AND THE VSC OFF LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I LET IT WARM UP FOR A WHILE AND THE LIGHTS STILL DID NOT GO AWAY. I MOVED THE CAR TO GET THE SNOW OUT OF THE WAY AND PARKED IT IN THE SAME PLACE AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, 1FEB10, I DROVE TO WORK WITH THE SAME 3 LIGHTS LIT UP ON ROADS THAT HAD SOME ICE. I FISHTAILED IN TWO INTERSECTIONS AND I'VE FELT THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL KICK IN ON WET ROADS LAST YEAR BUT IT NEVER KICKED IN THAT DAY SO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I DID NOT HAVE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. I DROVE TO WORK AND FIRED OFF AN E-MAIL TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT I COULD NOT COME IN UNTIL WEDNESDAY 3FEB10 AND BY THEN, THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY ON THEIR OWN. THEY DID, HOWEVER, FIND A CODE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A "CAMSHAFT TIMING" CODE OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT BUT THE ORIGINAL CODE THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT TO COME ON WAS ALREADY KICKED OUT OF MEMORY. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME THIS EVER H

IN AN FAUX-ARTICLE AD IN FLORIDA TODAY, A LOCAL FLORIDA SPACE COAST DAILY NEWSPAPER ON 2/12, A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER STATES THAT: "EVERY VEHICLE ON THE DEALERSHIPS LOT IS FULLY QUALIFIED FOR SALE. ANY NEEDED REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE..." IT GOES ON TO STATE: "IN THE MEANTIME, SALES CONTINUE ON TOYOTA'S FULL LINE OF VEHICLES. THOSE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL WERE FIXED QUICKLY, THANKS TO SWIFT DELIVERY OF NEEDED PARTS BY TOYOTA." THE AD THEN EXPLAINS HOW OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING DRIVEN CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THEM FIXED "WITHIN THE NEXT 90 DAYS". THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! TOYOTA IS MAKING STATEMENTS THAT THE CUSTOMER COMES FIRST, THE CEO LOOKS LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO FALL ON HIS SWORD... YET THEY ARE REPAIRING VEHICLES ON THE DEALERSHIP'S LOT TO PREPARE THEM FOR POSSIBLE SALE BEFORE THEY REPAIR CUSTOMER'S VEHICLES THAT ARE BEING DRIVEN EVERY DAY??? THAT REALLY MAKES IT SEEM LIKE TOYOTA'S FIRST PRIORITY IS ITS CUSTOMER'S SAFETY AND SATISFACTION, HUH? MY MOTHER-IN-LAW DRIVES A 2010 COROLLA. I CALLED THE DEALER SHE PURCHASED IT FROM AND ASKED IF THEY WERE SELLING NEW COROLLA'S AT SIGNIFICANT DISCOUNTS. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY WERE. I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL SITUATION, AND WAS INFORMED THAT IF THE CAR I SELECTED HADN'T BEEN REPAIRED YET, THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT WHILE I WAITED. I THEN ASKED IF MY RELATIVES COULD BRING THEIR COROLLA IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD: "NO, WE ARE WORKING ON CAMRY'S FIRST. WE ONLY HAVE ENOUGH PARTS TO FIX THE COROLLAS WE HAVE ON THE LOT." H

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA - TRUNK FALLING ON MY HEAD AS I TRIED TO TAKE OUT GROCERIES FROM THE TRUNK. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES; 2 TIMES FOR ME, ONCE ON MY DAUGHTER AND ONCE ON MY SON. WHEN YOU OPEN THE TRUNK, IT DOES NOT STAY OPEN ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR IS ON AN INCLINE. EVEN ON FLAT SURFACE, IT HAS THE TENDENCY TO CLOSE/SHUT. *TR

MY CAR WANDERS WHEN I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY, MAKING IT HARD TO STAY IN LANES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN LIGHT TO MODERATE WIND THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN DIRECTION. VEHICLE WILL CONTINUALLY WANDER AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO MAINTAIN DESIRED DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. *TR

UNINTENDED VEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT FEELS LIKE A GUST OF WIND HITTING THE CAR ALL THE TIME. *TR

FROM THE DAY I PURCHASE THE CAR (A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA) AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT WITH ONLY 16 MILES. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD CONSTANTLY OVER CORRECT AND ATTEMPT TO DRIFT OUTSIDE ITS LANE AT HIGH SPEEDS (ABOVE 45 MPH). AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS SIMPLY A NEW CAR BREAKING IN AND MY BROTHER'S CAR (A 2008 MAZDA 3) SHOW THE SAME BEHAVIORS BUT QUICKLY WENT AWAY THE MORE HE DROVE (AROUND THE 500 MILE MARK). HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT OCCUR IN MY VEHICLE AND I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE OVERLY SENSITIVE STEERING OF THE CAR. THIS IS HAS AN AFFECT OF TIRING ME OUT FROM ALL THE OVER CORRECTION. CURRENTLY, I HAVE GARAGED THE TOYOTA AWAITING WORD FROM THE DEALER ON THE GAS PEDAL REPAIRS AND USING MY OLDSMOBILE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HOLD NO ILL WILL TOWARDS THE DEALERS, IN FACT I FEEL BAD THAT THEY ARE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE. I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR
