2010 Toyota Corolla complaints

2010 TOYOTA. RECALL *TR

CAR WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, AND THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO STRAIGHTEN IT VIA THE STEERING WHEEL IT WILL OVERCORRECT AND PULL TOO MUCH IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WHENEVER DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY, THIS HAPPENS. WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP OUR HANDS FIRMLY GRIPPED ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR ELSE THE CAR WILL START DRIFTING. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN DEC 2009, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. THE ALIGNMENT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, AND THIS OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. *TR

FEB. 15, 2010 TO: NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION RE.: DEFECT IN TOYOTA COROLLA I RECENTLY REPORTED TO BOTH MY LOCAL TOYOTAL DEALERSHIP AND TO TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA (NATIONAL CUSTOMER RELATIONS, 9001 SOUTHWESTERN AVE, DEPT. WC11; TORRANCE, CA 90509) THAT THE PLAY ON THE TRUNK LID ON OUR 2010 COROLLA WAS SO LOOSE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE TRUNK LID WOULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY UP, A SUDDEN GUST OF WIND WOULD SEND IT FLYING DOWN ON WHOEVER WAS LOADING ITEMS INTO THE TRUNK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO MY WIFE. ON ONE OCCASION THE LID CAME DOWN ON MY WIFE'S HEAD AND AGAIN ON HER ARM ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWING THE EFFECT OF THE LID BEING BLOWN DOWN ON HER ARM. THE DEALER AGREED THAT COMPARED TO THE TRUNK LID ON MY CAMRY, THE LID ON THE COROLLA DID INDEED SWING TOO FREELY AND THAT THE CAUSE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AS THE LID WAS FUNCTIONING WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS . THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT TOYOTA. I DID THAT, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION, AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING THIS DESIGN FLAW. PERHAPS YOU CAN CONVINCE TOYOTA TO REDUCE THE "PLAY" ON THE TRUNK LID SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY USE THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WITHOUT EXPERIENCING INJURY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA TOWARD THE END OF 2009. I WILL ADVISE THAT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS "SOFT", AND AT TIMES WHEN PRESSED AND THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP, IT FEELS LIKE THE PEDAL KEEPS SINKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL RESPONSE DOES NOT FEEL CONSISTENT, AND OCCASIONALLY I "PUMP" IT IN ORDER TO GET A MORE FIRM FEEDBACK (THE PEDAL SEEMS TO FIRM UP AT SECOND PRESS ). LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS TO REPORT, THE CAR KEEPS STOPPING, AND A " NO PROBLEM" MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A CHECK SOON AFTER PURCHASE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, BUT NOW I HAVE TO WONDER! *TR

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, WHICH MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES, WHICH IS INVOLVED IN THE GAS PEDAL RECALL. SHE ALSO DESCRIBES AN STEERING PROBLEM -- DIFFICULTY KEEPING THE CAR FROM VEERING, HAS TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL TIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT, DESCRIBES IT LIKE CAR IS SLIDING ON ICE. WHEN I ASKED OUR TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPT ADVISOR ABOUT IT HE SAID TO CHECK THE TIRE INFLATION. I NOW SEE THAT THIS IS A COMPLAINT FROM OTHERS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE! SHE DRIVES IT TO AND FROM COLLEGE ON INTERSTATE 95 AND SAYS THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY 45 AND OVER. *TR

TOYOTA OF KINGSPORT 2525 EAST STONE DRIVE KINGSPORT, TN 37660 ON NOVEMBER 27, 2009, I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, FROM A 3RD PARTY FOR MY EX-WIFE OF GATE CITY, VIRGINIA. DURING THE TEST DRIVE, THE 3RD PARTY AND I DISCUSSED THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM THAT WAS BEING REPORTED IN THE NEWS AND ON MANY INTERNET WEBSITES. HE ASSURED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE COROLLA HAD NEVER IN ITS ENTIRE HISTORY BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. I LATER FOUND OUT THIS TO BE UNTRUE. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING ON THIS CAR. IT WANDERS AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WILL NOT HOLD A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFECT, ESPECIALLY FOR A 60-YEAR OLD WOMAN. YOU CANNOT TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE ROAD EVEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND OR YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF IN THE NEXT LANE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE. ACCORDING TO THE NEWS, THIS STEERING DEFECT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA ON MANY OCCASIONS. MY EX WIFE IS ON DISABILITY. SHE HAD MAJOR HEART SURGERY IN FEBRUARY, 2009. SHE HAD TWO HEART VALVES REPLACED, TWO HEART ARTERY BY-PASSES AND HAD TO HAVE A GRAFT ON HER HEART AORTA. SHE HAS MANY OTHER DISABILITIES TO DEAL WITH. THIS WAS HER FIRST NEW CAR IN 13 YEARS. SHE PREVIOUSLY DROVE A TOYOTA TERCEL FOR 13 YEARS - A GOOD CAR. TOGETHER, WE HAVE OWNED A CAMRY, TERCEL, TUNDRA, TACOMA AND NOW THIS COROLLA. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TOYOTA I WILL EVER BUY. TOYOTA HAS KNOW ABOUT THESE DEFECTS BUT STILL CONTINUED TO SELL THEM TO THE PUBL

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OF 3 MPH OR MORE, THERE WOULD BE A SUDDEN INCREASE IN THE RPMS WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE PEDAL WOULD OFTEN RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION VERY SLOWLY. THERE WOULD ALSO BE INSTANCES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD FEEL AS IF IT WAS LOSING POWER WHILE TRAVELING DOWNHILL, AT ANY SPEED, ALSO CAUSING A SUDDEN INCREASE IN RPMS. THE DEALER INSTALLED A CUT METAL BAR TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V023000; COMPONENT: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 2,376.

MY 2010 COROLLA WANDERS IN THE LANE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CONSTANTLY MAKING CORRECTIONS TO STAY IN THE LANE. *TR

STEERING ISSUES......VEHICLE BEGINS SHAKING AT SPEEDS OVER 35 MPH. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA DRIFTED FROM LANE WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE CORRECT LANE, BUT IT DRIFTED BACK OUT OF LANE AND I HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO PROPERLY CORRECT THE SITUATION AND AVOID SIDE-SWIPING A VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES AS I DRIVE TO WORK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 201 TOYOTA COROLLA "S" AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT, NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WANDERS. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE CAR CONSTANTLY WANTS TO WANDER INTO THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT I REALLY FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE! *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA COROLLA LE 2010, PURCHASED ON AUGUST 10, 2009 AT A DEALERSHIP: WORLD TOYOTA, 5800 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD, ATLANTA, GA, 30341, USA. THE TECHNICAL PROBLEM RELATES TO ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM WHICH COMPROMISES STABILITY OF THE CAR DURING DRIVING. NAMELY, THE CAR DOES NOT FOLLOW ITS TRACK AND SPONTANEOUSLY STEERS LEFT OR RIGHT. AS A RESULT OF THIS CONSTANT PULLING, THE DRIVER NEEDS TO FIRMLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT EVEN THEN, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE CAR TO KEEP IT PERFECTLY IN TRACK. THE CAR FEELS EVEN MORE UNSTABLE AND PULLS FROM SIDE TO SIDE EVEN MORE PROMINENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN FULL TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY AT A SPEED HIGHER THAN 40 MPH, SUCH AS ATLANTA, GA, WHERE I LIVE. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 10, 2009, BUT A SALES REPRESENTATIVE AT WORLD TOYOTA SUGGESTED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THE ELECTRIC STEERING AND TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GET USED TO IT. DESPITE THIS PROBLEM, I STILL DECIDED TO BUY THE CAR. BECAUSE THE CAR'S INSTABILITY ON THE ROAD DID NOT IMPROVE WITH TIME, I HAD THIS PROBLEM REVIEWED BY TOYOTA SERVICE TECHNICIANS AT THE WORLD TOYOTA DEALERSHIP DURING MY 1000 MILE MAINTENANCE CHECK ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2009 AND 5000 MILE CHECK ON JANUARY 09, 2010. DURING 1000 MILE MAINTENANCE CHECK, I WAS SUGGESTED TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL 5000 MILES TO SEE WHETHER I WOULD GET USED TO IT. DURING 5000 MILE MAINTENANCE, I WAS GIVEN TO TEST DRIVE ANOTHER TOYOTA COROLLA LE 2010 WITH A NEW

I ALSO HAVE A NEW 2010 COROLLA BOUGHT IN LEXINGTON KY THREE WEEKS AGO. 3 DAYS BEFORE THE RECALL ON THE ACCELERATION PEDALS WERE ANNOUNCED. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER ABOUT FIXING THE ISSUE. ALTHOUGH TODAY I WANTED TO REPORT A STEERING ISSUE WITH THE CAR. IT DOES INDEED HAVE DIFFICULTY STAYING IN A LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WILL VEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OF THE LANE UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. IT IS SIMILAR TO A GUST OF WIND PUSHING THE CAR EVEN IF NO WIND IS BLOWING. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TESTING AND THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME IT'S JUST HOW THE STEERING IS MADE IN THESE AUTOS. IT IS A WAY FOR THE POWERFUL CONTROL YOU HAVE GOING AROUND CURVES AND TURNS IN THE ROAD IMPACTS THE STRAIGHT HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HAVE RUN OFF THE ROAD ON MY PASSENGER SIDE ALREADY. YOU DO HAVE TO DRIVE AS IF YOU ARE ALWAYS ON ICE OR WATER, GRIPPING BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL AT ALL TIMES; WHILE PRAYING THE CAR WILL STOP!!! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LAST FALL BUT HAVE DRIVEN IT VERY LITTLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION. IT SEEMS TO CONTINUOUSLY DRIFT RIGHT OR LEFT AND IS VERY EXHAUSTING. I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE MGR. AND HE SAID DECREASING THE TIRE PRESSURE A LITTLE MAY HELP. IT DID NOT. TOYOTA SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A REAL AND SERIOUS PROBLEM AND ADDRESS IT BEFORE THERE REPUTATION IS FURTHER DAMAGED. *TR

WHEN I QUICKLY BRAKED, THE BRAKES SHUDDERED AND MADE A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE. I NOTICED A SLOWER RESPONSE AFTER PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. EVEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF VIBRATION COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S AND REALIZED THAT I CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTED, TO MY SALESMAN, THE SAME DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR. MY WHOLE FAMILY, INCLUDING MYSELF, MADE A LIVING SELLING CARS. I'VE DRIVEN IN MANY DIFFERENT CARS AND KNOW WHEN SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT. THE COROLLA'S STEERING IS DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER EVEN NOTED THAT THERE IS A STEERING ISSUE, BUT TOYOTA DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. I TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICE, BUT HE TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP UNTIL THEIR IS A PROBLEM. WHEN I DRIVE ON THE EXPRESS WAY THE CAR'S STEERING IS UNPREDICTABLE, UNSAFE, AND DEFECTIVE. I'M FORCED TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER NEW COROLLA (2010) HOME FROM COLLEGE IN DECEMBER 2009. WHEN SHE GOT HOME SHE WAS EXTREMELY UPSET AND TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD ENCOUNTERED A STEERING PROBLEM WITH THE CAR ON HER WAY HOME -- SHE COULDN'T KEEP THE CAR CENTERED ON THE HIGHWAY AS THE CAR KEPT MOVING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER (DECEMBER 2009) I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT ABOUT 65 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT KEEP THE CAR ON CENTER. IT FELT LIKE I WAS CAUGHT IN A TERRIBLE CROSSWIND, MOVING ME FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AS I TRIED TO STAY ON CENTER. I ENDED UP HAVING TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL JUST TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM MY DAUGHTER HAD EXPERIENCED. IN MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT BEFORE. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A PROBLEM AT LOWER SPEEDS JUST HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND, TO DATE, THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY HAPPENED THOSE TWO TIMES. *TR

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS VERY ERRATIC AND UNSTABLE AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH AND ABOVE. IT BECOMES MUCH WORSE WHEN THE WIND IS BLOWING. I HAVE HAD A TOYOTA DEALER INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I LEASED THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2009 AND THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER GONE AWAY. YESTERDAY, I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER. THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE (WHICH I DO AT LEAST MONTHLY), CHECK THE SHOCKS ABSORBERS (WHICH I CAN NOT DO), AND THEN HAVE ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER INSPECT THE CAR AGAIN. *TR

THE STEERING IN MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA "S" IS HARD TO CONTROL AND, I FEEL UNSAFE, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD, REQUIRING CONSTANT CORRECTION. HOWEVER, OFTEN MINOR CORRECTIONS FAIL TO HAVE ANY EFFECT, AND MAJOR CORRECTIONS RESULT IN OVERCORRECTION, OFTEN MAKING THE CAR LEAVE THE LANE. TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS JUST THE NATURE OF ITS "ELECTRIC" STEERING. I DISAGREE. I NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR (BRAND NEW, MIND YOU... FEWER THAN 2,000 MILES) ON THE HIGHWAY. THE PROBLEM ISN'T PRESENT AT CITY SPEEDS. *TR

WE HAVE A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ABOUT 9,000 MILES ON IT. THE STEERING ON THIS CAR IS "STRANGE" MAKING IT UNSAFE-- IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT IN A STEADY/SMOOTH LINE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH OR GREATER -- YOU NEED TO MAKE CONSTANT MINUTE CORRECTIVE MOVEMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL. AT TIMES IT SEEMS TO DRIFT ON IT'S OWN LEFT AND RIGHT - LIKE IT'S BEING BLOWN AROUND BY A GUST OF WIND - BUT THE WIND ISN'T BLOWING! *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA AND UNTIL I SPOKE TO ANOTHER OWNER I THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM MAY HAVE BEEN ME. IT SEEMS TO ME THE STEERING IS JUMPY OR HARD TO HOLD A LINE. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN WHAT I WOULD CALL A STRAIGHT LINE AND THE CAR WILL SOMETIME JUMP TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT BUT YET I NEVER MOVED THE WHEEL. MY WIFE ACTUALLY THOUGHT AT ONE TIME I WAS SWERVING ON PURPOSE. *TR

MY NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 - WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (60+ MPH), THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN START TO WANDER BACK AND FORTH IN THE LANE, FOR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS. THEN AS QUICKLY AS IT STARTED, IT STOPS. THE WANDERING HAS ALMOST CREATED 4 COLLISIONS SO FAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT, AS THESE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING AT HI SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAYS. *TR

STEERING ON 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS VAGUE, RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING LANE WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH. CONSTANT CORRECTION IS REQUIRED. SUGGEST LOOKING AT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS VEHICLE AND 2009 PONTIAC VIBE (WHICH WE ALSO OWN, AND IS BUILT ON SAME PLATFORM) WHICH DOES NOT EXHIBIT SAME DEGREE OF DRIVING DIFFICULTY. *TR

2010 COROLLA LE . THIS CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN IN A STRAIT LINE ON THE HIGHWAY ! IT SEEMS TO CONSTANTLY DRIFT TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT . CAR HAS 2000 MILES ON IT NOW BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE . *TR

ON 2/8/10 TOYOTA PERFORMED A RECALL REPAIR OF THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS FINISHED, I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED WAS HIGHER AND THE VEHICLE TOOK LONGER TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. *TR

THE BRAKE OF TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 DOES NOT RESPOND EFFECTIVELY. IT IS HARD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP EVEN IT IS COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN TO THE FLOOR, WHICH IS REALLY SCARY. I AM IN EL PASO, AND IT IS A HOT AREA. SO THE BRAKE RECALL ON SOME OF THE COLD STATES DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. IT SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THE COROLLA 2010 FOR BRAKE FIX. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN DECEMBER. DURING THE TEST DRIVE I COMMENTED THAT THE STEERING FELT FUNNY, BUT THE DEALER AND I CHALKED IT UP TO THE ROAD CONDITIONS. I CONTINUE TO OBSERVE THAT THE CAR IS WEAVING BACK AND FORTH ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY. IF I HADN'T SEEN THE NEWS STORY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE JUST ASSUMED THAT THE STEERING WAS "TOUCHY" FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. NOW THAT I KNOW THAT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, COUPLED WITH THE GAS PEDAL ISSUE, I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALER. *TR

STEERING DRIFT AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS 50 MPH + HAPPENS OFF AND ON AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT AND IT WILL START TO MERGE EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT, IT HAPPENS ON STRAIGHT ROADS AND CURVY ROADS. *TR

I WAS MAKING A ROUTINE TURN AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING. IT ONLY HAPPENED THE ONE TIME, POLICE REPORT SAID CAR ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES, TOTAL LOSS TO CAR AND INJURY TO DRIVER. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY THE CAUSE OTHER THAN I LOST CONTROL. CAN'T SAY ANY OF THE RECALLS DID OR DID NOT CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. MY PRIMARY COMPLAINT IS THAT I PAID FOR FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS, AND NONE DEPLOYED ON A CAR THAT ROLLED TWO OR THREE TIMES. WHY AM I PAYING FOR EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE? IF A CAR ROLLS OVER AT MINIMUM THE SIDE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I WOULD ALSO THINK THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE OTHER AIR BAGS. WITH ALL THE RECALLS HOW WOULD WE KNOW IF ANY OF THESE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CRASH? I UNDERSTAND THE ROLLOVER RATING APPLIES TO THE STABILITY OF THE CAR, BUT RATING THE SAFETY IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT SHOULD ALSO BE RATED. WHY DON'T AIR BAGS DEPLOY AUTOMATICALLY WHEN CAR HITS SIDES OR THE ROOF? WE PAID FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TOYOTA, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE EXTRA MONEY IS WASTED. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAR WANDERS BADLY, HARD TO STEER, VERY WEIRD FEELING OF NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. NOT JUST ONE TIME BUT NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY CAUSE OF SNOWY CONDITIONS, I APPLIED THE BRAKES GENTLY STARTING ALMOST 20 -30 FT BEFORE REACHING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, TO MAKE A STOP BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND THE CAR JUST ROLLED ON TO HIT A FORD SUV. WITH THE BRAKE FULLY DEPRESSED I WAS ALMOST 10 FEET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE CAR DID NOT SWING OR SKID, IT WENT STRAIGHT. MY CAR FRONT BUMPER AND HOOD WAS DAMAGED. THIS IS MY FIRST ACCIDENT IN MY DRIVING CAREER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, AND LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA. *TR

2010 COROLLA S. WHEN HITTING POTHOLE, UNEVEN SURFACES, OR WHEN VEHICLE WEIGHT SHIFTS SUCH AS GOING OVER THE TOP OF A HILL THE VEHICLES ABS COMES ON AND VEHICLE DELAYS IN STOPPING. THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES BUT THE CAR IS NOT IN A SKID HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS 25 MILES PER HOUR OR LESS. *TR

2010 COROLLA S I TRAVEL THROUGH MOUNTAIN ROADS AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH BECOMES LOOSE AND CAR WANDERS IN LANE. STEERING ALSO MAKES NOISE WHEN PARKING IN STEERING COLUMN. *TR

COROLLA 2010 WITH 4,000 MILES. CAN NOT DRIVE IN STRAIGHT LINE FOR MUCH WITHOUT HAVING TO CORRECT WITH CONSTANT FORCE TO THE RIGHT. CAR KEEPS GOING TO THE LEFT. IN A SECOND I FIND THE CAR GETTING TO THE OTHER LANE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND SLIGHTLY TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND THE CAR TURN HARD RIGHT CAUSING TO CAR TO ROLL OVER. *TR

1) 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT STEERING IS NON-RESPONSIVE AND LACKS ANY FEEDBACK OR ON-CENTER FEEL. CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP ON TRACK, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, AND REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION TO STAY IN THE LANE. STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN TURNING AT HIGHER (>35MPH) SPEEDS. 2) THE CONDITION IS ALWAYS PRESENT. 3) CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND WAS RE-ALIGNED AFTER 500 MILES. CONDITION CHANGED VERY LITTLE AND IS STILL PRESENT. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROLL AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE, THERE IS A SHUDDERING FEELING AND SOUND BEFORE THE BRAKING HOOKS IN. I WOULD SAY THIS HAS HAPPEND ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. IN LIGHT OF THE OTHER BRAKING PROBLEMS, I AM MORE AND MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ONE. I PLAN TO DISCUSS THIS TO WITH TOYOTA WHEN I TAKE MY CAR FOR THE OTHER BREAKING AND ACCELERATOR REPAIRS. HOWEVER, IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW CARS, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE THE DOT INSISTS THAT THERE BE A BUYBACK OF THESE 2009-1010 CARS, WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY FULL OF PROBLEMS. WHERE WILL IT END? MORE ACCIDENTS? I WANT MY MONEY BACK. *TR

I WAS JUST READING THIS ARTICLE ON MSNBC ABOUT 2010 COROLLAS (HTTP://WWW.MSNBC.MSN.COM/ID/35314540/NS/BUSINESS-AUTOS/) AND YES! I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AS WELL. THE CAR VEERS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT, AND DOES MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE LANE. IT DOESN'T OCCUR ALL THE TIME HOWEVER. I HAVEN'T NOTICED IF IT ONLY OCCURS GOING OVER A CERTAIN SPEED, OR HOW TO REPRODUCE ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. ALL I KNOW, IS THAT IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A PROBLEM! *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 COROLLA ON JANUARY 15, 2010. I AM NOT PLEASED WITH THE WAY IT STEERS. AT FIRST, I ATTRIBUTED IT TO BEING A NEW CAR AS EVERYTHING HAS TO BE BROKEN IN. HOWEVER, AFTER NEARLY 4 WEEKS, IT'S STILL THE SAME. THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS EXTREMELY TIGHT. THE LEAST LITTLE THING WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO VEER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. IT REQUIRES EXCESSIVE GRIP ON THE WHEEL. IT'S LIKE FIGHTING WIND ALL THE TIME. AND WHEN THE WIND IS BLOWING, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. IS THIS SITUATION BEING REPORTED BY OTHER COROLLA OWNERS? AND IF SO, WILL THE ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED? MY DAUGHTER IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND SHE SAYS SHE EXPERIENCES THE SAME ISSUE. WE'VE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS, YET! IT'S A SCARY SITUATION. *TR

WE HAVE A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH ABOUT 3,000 MILES ON IT. THE STEERING ON THIS CAR IS "STRANGE" -- IT HAS LITTLE TO NO ROAD FEEDBACK AND SEEMS TO HAVE "DEAD SPOTS" IN IT -- YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT MORE EFFORT TO GET PASS THESE. THE RESULT IS THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT IN A STEADY/SMOOTH LINE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY -- YOU NEED TO MAKE CONSTANT CORRECTIVE MOVEMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO ROAD FEEL/FEEDBACK CONTRIBUTES TO THIS PROBLEM. WHILE I NEED TO ENTER A DATE TO PROCEED WITH THIS COMPLAINT FORM, THIS STEERING ISSUE OCCURS AT ALL TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. WE ALSO HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA AVALON -- AND ITS STEERING AND ROAD FEEL IS GREAT. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, STEERING PROBLEMS. CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND VEERS SHARPLY WHEN BRAKING, AT ANY SPEED, OR IF CAR GOES OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, AT ANY SPEED. INTERMITTENT RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES BUT AM TOLD THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS.. ALSO INTERMITTENT RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL AREA WHEN TRAVELING ON ROUGH ROADS AND WHEN BRAKING. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ALSO CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. STEERING PROBLEMS BEGAN AS SOON AS I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE CONTINUED EVER SINCE. UNDERBODY RATTLE BEGAN JAN 1, 2010 AND IS INTERMITTENT. CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. AM TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT CAR IS PERFECTLY SAFE TO DRIVE... I AM NOT CONVINCED. *TR

BOUGHT MY NEW 2010 COROLLA S ON DEC. 28TH, 2009; NOTICED HOW THE STEERING WAS ODD, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION. IT SEEMS TO DRIFT ON IT'S OWN LEFT AND RIGHT - LIKE IT'S BEING BLOWN AROUND BY A GUST OF WIND - BUT THE WIND ISN'T BLOWING! THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. EACH TIME IT DOES THIS VEERING MANEUVER I LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING TREES TO SEE IF THEY ARE BEING BLOWN TOO - BUT THEY ARE NOT. I HAVE JUST OVER 1,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN SCAMMED BY TOYOTA. THIS IS MY FIRST OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AND I WILL CALL THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA BRAKE FAILURE WHICH WAS REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH MY PARENTS. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THE REVIEWED BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO ISSUE. MY FATHER REPORTED TO OFFICER THAT BRAKES DID NOT WORK. *TR

BRAKES UNRESPONSIVE, REQUIRES DEPRESSION OF PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD BEFORE BRAKES BEGIN ENGAGING. OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS. DEALER ADJUSTED BRAKES AND BLED LINES AND THIS ISSUE CONTINUES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I AM USED TO AND I HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, EXPERIENCE LOUD NOISES WHEN BRAKING WHILE GOING OVER ROUGH ROAD, SPEED BUMPS OR GRATES IN THE ROAD AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 COROLLA ON FEBRUARY 3, 2010. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TONIGHT FROM WORK AND MY CAR STARTED DRIFTING TO THE LEFT. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD FOR ME TO STAY IN THE PROPER LANE. IT APPEARS IF THE CAR WAS DRIFTING BY ITSELF, AND I WAS ON THE VERGE OF LOSING CONTROL. BY RESEARCHING HOW TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM I NOTICED THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME SITUATION. TOYOTA IS PUTTING MAY LIVES INTO DANGER, THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS REGARDING THIS ISSUE? IS RETURNING/EXCHANGING THIS CAR A POSSIBILITY AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE A WEEK? I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. MY FAMILY IS IN EXTREME RISK, I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL ME IMMEDIATELY REGARDING THIS SITUATION. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS BEEN DRIFTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IF I TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR A SECOND TO GLANCE AT MY REAR VIEW MIRROR OR SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, THE COROLLA WILL BEGIN TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THE DRIFTING USUALLY BEGINS AROUND THE 40 MPH MARK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NOT FINDING ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

AS I WAS TURNING OFF A MAIN ROAD TO A STORE PARKING LOT MY VEHICLE BEGAIN TO ACCELERATE AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 10MPH AT THE TIME. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY STOP THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. AT THIS TIME, I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I AM AN ENGINEER AND THERE IS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH NO GRADE (FLAT ROAD).

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. OCASSIONALLY WHEN I'M BRAKING, MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO BRAKE. IT MAKES A GRINDING FEELING UNDER MY FOOT. THEN I HAVE TO QUICKLY APPLY THE BRAKE AGAIN TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE AT FIRST OR DUE TO THE ROAD BEING WET, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, AND THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. LUCKILY I DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SECOND TO BRAKE, AND I DON'T TAILGATE. *CN
