2010 Toyota Corolla complaints

AS I WAS COMING DOWNHILL ON STEEP MT. HELIX AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAD OF REDUCING THE SPEED, AT THAT MOMENT I COULD CLEARLY HEAR THE ROTATION ACTUALLY INCREASING. I HAD TO PRESS IT HARDER AND CONTROL THE WHEEL TO GET IT TO REDUCE THE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL IN THE 2 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS 2010 COROLLA. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR FOR THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED AND THE PEDAL ACCELERATOR RECALL ISSUE FIXED, BUT THE SERVICE STAFF TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE AND THEY HAD RUN OUT OF THE RECALL PARTS. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A TIME TABLE WHEN THE PARTS WERE GOING TO ARRIVE. I ALSO CONTACTED 2 OTHER DEALERSHIPS LATER THAT DAY, AND THE ONLY ANSWER I GOT WAS THAT " WE WERE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT", NOBODY KNEW WHEN SAID PARTS WERE EXPECTED TO ARRIVE. *CN

I AM EXTREMLY WORRIED AFTER THE NEWS CAME OUT REGARDING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION FOR TOYOTA CARS. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE FOR MY WIFE AND I AM ASKING IF I HAVE THE RIGHT TO RETURN IT SINCE TOYOTA HASN'T REALLY SOLVED THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE HALTED THE SALE FOR THIS CAR. NEITHER MY WIFE OR I HAVE DRIVEN IT SINCE THE NEWS CAME OUT AS WE ARE WORRIED, AS MY CHILDREN ARE WORRIED, ABOUT BEING IN A CAR THAT MAY HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AT ANY TIME. *CN

1) EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE: I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ON JAN 1ST 2010. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 1 APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH BEFORE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE/ACCELERATION. ON JAN 30, 2010 I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES ACCELERATE INITIALLY BEFORE BRAKING WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE. ON FEB 2, 2010 I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION ON INTERSTATE 5 JUST AFTER THE LA JOLLA VILLAGE DR ENTRANCE. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY, MOVING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 20MPH. WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED, I HIT THE BRAKE AND MY CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY UNDRIVABLE AND IN THE REPAIR SHOP. *TR

I PURCHASED 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S IN NOVEMBER OF 2009, AND SINCE THEN I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. I CAN NOT KEEP THE VEHICLE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE FREEWAY, I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2010 COROLLAS ON JAN 13TH. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME, I FOUND IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP IT IN THE CENTER OF THE LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAD TO KEEP ADJUSTING MY STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWO DAYS LATER. THEY MADE SOME ADJUST AND IT IS NOT THAT BAD NOW, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS MORE SERIOUS THAN THE GAS PEDAL PROBLEM, BECAUSE THIS AFFECT DRIVING IMMEDIATELY AND DIRECTLY. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THIS IS HOW EPS IS DESIGNED, AND WE HAVE TO ADAPT OURSELVES. BUT NO MATTER HOW THE STEERING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED, MOVING STRAIGHT FORWARD SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN FAIR WEATHER CONDITIONS AND ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5000.

BRAKES UNRESPONSIVE, REQUIRES DEPRESSION OF PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD BEFORE BRAKES BEGIN ENGAGING. OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS. SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN, IF THE PAVEMENT IS BUMPY, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ENGAGES, HINDERING THE SLOWING OF MY VEHICLE. THE LOSS OF BRAKING IS SCARY. THIS WAS NOT A ONE-TIME EVENT, IT HAPPENS WHENEVER APPLYING BRAKING WHILE ON A BUMPY SECTION OF ROAD. *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA LE 2010 DID NOT RESPOND TO BRAKES PROPERLY FOR 100 FEET WHEN SLOWING FROM 10 MPH AT INTERSECTION. ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY DAMP BUT NOT FROZEN OR SLIPPERY. ABS & VSC LIGHTS WENT ON BRAKES GROUND SO LOUDLY AS I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE, IT SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY'D BREAK OFF. 2 TOYOTA SERVICE DEPTS HAVE DISMISSED MY CONCERNS SAYING THE ROADS MUST HAVE BEEN WORSE THAN I THOUGHT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 35 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE CHIP OR SOFTWARE OR COMPLETE BRAKE/VSC/GAS PEDAL COMBO. VERY CONCERNED TOYOTA GAS PEDAL FIX IS NOT THE COMPLETE CULPRIT. *TR

FAILURE OF BRAKES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED QUITE FREQUENTLY. I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD WHICH IS WASH-BOARD BUMPY. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK WHICH IS BUMPY. THE BRAKES FAIL AND THE CAR MAKES A NOISE WHEN GOING OVER THE BUMPS. AFTER THE BUMPS, IT CORRECTS ITSELF. NO CARS I HAVE DRIVEN OVER THE SAME CONDITIONS HAS EXHIBITED THIS PROBLEM. I HEARD ABOUT THE PRIUS PROBLEM AND THAT WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAD EXPERIENCED. I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS HAPPENED, OR HOW MANY MILES I HAD ON THE CAR WHEN I NOTICED IT THE FIRST TIME. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED AND BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROX 8 WEEKS. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 2400 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASE WHERE I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY BRAKES LOCKING AND RESULTING IN FAILING TO STOP. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AS WELL AS ALMOST REAR-ENDING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN I GO OVER A SMALL BUMP OR A POT HOLE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THIS PROBLEM. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, WITHIN AN HOUR OF LEAVING THE DEALER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WHEN I WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. I HAVE HEARD ABOUT A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE TOYOTA PRIUS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 COROLLA. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS OVER THE AREAS WHERE I DRIVE MY CURRENT VEHICLE WITH NO SIMILAR BRAKING FAILURE ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *JB

IT WAS IN A SNOW STORM. I FELT I HAD BEEN KEEPING A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (I NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT PRIOR). CARS AHEAD SLOWED DOWN SUDDENLY. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, COULD FEEL ABS WAS ACTIVATED. BUT IT COULD NOT STOP THE CAR SOON ENOUGH, HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT. BUMPERS AND TAIL LIGHT DAMAGED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, SHE MOVED FORWARD AND TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKES FAILED AND SHE HIT THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. BEFORE THE FAILURE SHE HEARD A SLIGHT NOISE A FEW TIMES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A MINOR INJURY. SHE DID NOT SPEAK WITH THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO-DATE FOR THE BRAKE FAILURE. . THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,400. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,239.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2009 I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA SPORT AND WITHIN 2 DAYS NOTICED THE TACHOMETER RACING EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PRESS IN THE CLUTCH THE TACHOMETER WOULD ACCELERATE AS MUCH AS 2000 RPM AND STAY THERE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED THREE TIMES IN 2009 AND ONCE IN 2010 REGARDING UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION. EVEN WHEN I AM NOT IN THE CAR AND THE CAR IS IDLING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES FROM .6 ON THE TACHOMETER TO 6.4 ON THE TACHOMETER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUES AND HAVE ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THE LAST TIME I HAD 5 RECORDING ON MY CELL PHONE WHERE YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE TACHOMETER OVER 6,000RPM WITH NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP ME AT THIS TIME. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HOW LONG THIS ACTION WILL TAKE AS I NEED MY CAR. *TR

TOYOTA COROLLA BRAKES NEEDS TO PRESSED FORCEFULLY TO STOP THE CAR ABRUPTLY. ALSO WHEN I SLIGHTLY PUT THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR SURGES FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME EVERYTIME I DRIVE SO THAT I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKES HARD WHEN I NEED TO COME TO A STOP. *TR

EXTREMELY WORRIED AFTER THE NEWS REGARDING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF TOYOTA CARS. I PURCHASED TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 RECENTLY AND I AM ASKING IF I HAVE THE RIGHT TO RETURN IT SINCE TOYOTA DIDN'T SOLVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM YET AND HALTED THE SALE OF COROLLA 2010. THIS CAR IS THE ONLY CAR WE HAVE AND WHENEVER I AM DRIVING IT NOW I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT MY KIDS AND MY FAMILY BEING IN A CAR THAT MAY HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AT ANY TIME. ALSO, I HAVE ANOTHER CONCERN THAT MY CAR JUMP FAST AFTER EACH STOP AND THE BREAK RESPONSE SHOULD BE FASTER. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND EVER SINCE IT'S BEEN HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. QUITE OFTEN, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO STOP WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES WHICH MAKES ME BRAKE HARDER OR DOWN SHIFT TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY AND BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED MANY TIMES WHERE I ALMOST GOT IN ACCIDENTS. *TW

FOR ENTIRE TIME OWNED - THERE IS A GAP OF SECONDS BETWEEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND ACTUAL ACCELERATION. WHEN I PRESS GAS PEDAL THERE IS A HESITATION LEADING ME TO PRESS HARDER. THEN OF COURSE THE CAR HAS A SUDDEN SPRINT IN ACCELERATION. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 5.5 MONTHS SO I AM GETTING BETTER AT WAITING INSTEAD OF PRESSING HARDER. BUT I FEEL THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT. I INQUIRED OVER PHONE WITH SERVICE MANAGER WHERE I PURCHASED - EXPLANATION: I AM NOT USE TO A 4 CYLINDER, WHICH I BELIEVED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A 4 CYLINDER. BUT, I AM BEGINNING NOT TO BELIEVE THIS EXCUSE. *TW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. SHE STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL EXHIBITS A JERKING MOTION. THE FAILURE OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER 24 HOURS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. SHE HAS HAD TWO OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHO CONFIRMED THAT THEY ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STEERING WHEEL MALFUNCTION. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPAIRS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 260 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1559.

I RECENTLE PURCHASED A NEW 2010 COROLLA. LIKE OTHERS, IT SEEMED TO DRIVE FINE ON A TEST DRIVE. THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE DROVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY HER ARMS WERE TIRED AFTER 25 MILES TRYING TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. I'VE SINCE DRIVEN IT MANY TIMES IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS AND IT VEERS ALL OVER THE ROAD. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS WITHIN SPECS, BUT THEY TWEEKED IT TO THE LIMIT. IT DIDN'T HELP. HAVING TO CONCENTRATE SO HARD ON KEEPING THIS CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE MAY KEEP A PERSON FROM AVOIDING ANOTHER TYPE OF HAZARD OR DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM, HOWEVER TWO EMPLOYEES (ONE SALESMAN AND ONE TECH) TOLD ME THEY NOTICED THE SAME THING ON OTHER COROLLAS. *CN

COROLLA 2010 HAS MAJOR ISSUES BEING KEPT IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT SPEEDS OVER 55 OR SO. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN SEP 2009. THE DAY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED THE EPS SYSTEM WAS VERY ERRATIC, CAUSING CONSTANT CORRECTIONS. THIS IS MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THEREFORE ON THE "TEST" DRIVE, WE DIDN'T REALIZE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA WITH THE PROBLEM AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE IS WITHIN DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS." THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TOYOTA DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED A VEHICLE WITH A STEERING SYSTEM THAT IS UNSTABLE, DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE. FOR A COMPANY THAT ADVERTISES SAFETY AND RELIABILITY, I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIVE TO SO MANY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE COROLLA'S ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. EVEN THE TECHNICIANS AGREE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY INJURED. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AND HAD THE PEDAL STICKING TWICE IN COLD WEATHER . WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER SHIP I WAS ADVISED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND I ASK IF THEY HAD ANY PROBLEMS . I WAS TOLD NO IN FACT THEY DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TAKING DOWN MY COMPLAINT. I AGAIN RETURNED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AFTER THE STORY BROKE ON THE NEWS. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT ONLY EFFECTS SOME CAMRY AND NOT THE COROLLA. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS GONE OUT OF ITS WAY TO HIDE THIS FROM THE PUBLIC. FURTHER THE LAST TIME THE PEDAL STUCK I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY GOING 50 MPH. AND HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUMP THE PEDAL UNTIL IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. AGAIN PLEASE NOT THAT THIS INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO THEM BEFORE IT WAS MADE PUBLIC IN THE NEWS.AFTER I BECAME AWARE OF THE NEWS . I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THIS TIME THEY HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA LOOK INTO HOW MANY PEOPLE BROUGHT THIS TO TOYOTA ATTENTION ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM , HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED OR HAVE BEEN HURT BECAUSE TOYOTA TRIED TO HIDE THE PROBLEM. AND WHAT AM I GOING TO DO OR WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I NEED TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE , I HOPE I OR ANY OTHER PERSON ADD TO THE ACCIDENT COUNT... *TR

PURCHASE NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA DEC. 18 2009. UNDER ALL BRAKING CONDITIONS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. YOU TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DOES NOT ENGAGE. THERE IS WAY TO MUCH BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL BEFORE YOU GET ANY BRAKING RESPONSE. THERE IS 1/2 INCH PEDAL MOVEMENT BEFORE YOU GET ANY BRAKE RESPONSE AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME YOU BRAKE. RETURN TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR REPAIR 12/21/09. NO REPAIR WAS DONE. THEY SAID THAT WAS THE WAY THE NEW BRAKING SYSTEM WORKED. JUST GET USE TO IT. *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS UNSAFE, BECAUSE OF ITS STEERING MECHANISM. THE CAR STABILITY IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BECAUSE IT DRIVES ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVING ON BLACK ICE ,CONSTANTLY, TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE OVER STEER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HEAR THEM SAY THAT THE CAR IS WITHIN SPEC. *TR

DRIVING A RENTAL 2010 COROLLA IN TUCSON. AS I WAS BRAKING TO A STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED AHEAD. FORTUNATELY I WAS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME TO STAND HARD ON THE BRAKE AND BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. SCARY!!. FLOOR MATS WERE PROPERLY SECURED AND NO WHERE NEAR THE PEDAL AREA. NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. TOYOTA HAS A PROBLEM WAY BEYOND FLOOR MATS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND CRASHED INTO A TRUCK. THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT ALSO FAILED TO OPERATE NORMALLY WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO SUSTAIN INJURIES. THE POLICE REPORT NUMBER IS 0470200. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER.

BOUGHT 2010 COROLLA ON 11/21/09 WITH 6 MILES. UPON DRIVING HOME, I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT CENTERED, BUT SLIGHTLY CROOKED TO THE LEFT. WHEN WE HOP INTO THE FWY AND DOING 50MPH+, THE VEHICLE STARTS TO DRIFT LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAD TO MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS BY STEERING IT LEFT AND RIGHT TO MAKE THE CAR DRIVES STRAIGHT. MY GIRLFRIEND DROVE THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY AND UPON MAKING A LEFT CURVE ON THE FREEWAY DOING 60MPH, THE STEERING WAS NOT FULLY RESPONSIVE. SHE VEERED ONE LANE TO THE RIGHT INSTEAD! WE WERE LUCKY THAT THE FWY WAS EMPTY AT THAT MOMENT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A STEERING PROBLEM THAT MAKES THIS VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LOOSE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORMAT BETWEEN LODGED BETWEEN BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR CAUSES CAR TO ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO STOP. ALREADY CAUSED TWO REAR-END COLLISIONS.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, BUT BECAUSE I LIVE IN TEXAS, I AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL TO HAVE A NEWLY DESIGNED INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR TO RELOCATE THE BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PORT. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I GO TO COLORADO THIS WINTER AS PLANNED, I WILL HAVE BRAKE FAILURE. WHY DOES THE RECALL NOT EXTEND TO ALL 2010 TOYOTA COROLLAS??? *TR

OWN A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S VEHICLE AND THE STEERING IS HORRIBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE TRACKS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WITH THE SLIGHTEST COMPENSATION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ALMOST JERK IN THE COMPENSATED DIRECTION. THIS VEHICLES STEERING IS DANGEROUS AND I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED MY DEALERS SERVICE REP AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THIS IS NORMAL WITH A CHUCKLE. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 2000 MILES ON IT ALMOST ALL INTERSTATE MILES. TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I WILL BE PRESSING MY DEALER TO BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK. *TR

STEERING IS INACCURATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S DRIFTS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH MAKING CAR REQUIRE CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT TO STAY IN LANE. LONGER TRIPS ARE EXHAUSTING AS THE CAR HAS TO BE ACTIVELY STEERED AT ALL TIMES TO KEEP FROM WANDERING OUT OF THE LANE. STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND WHEEL NEEDS TO BE TURNED MORE THAN 1/6 OF A TURN TO CORRECT VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA WHICH I BOUGHT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING FROM THE START. WHEN YOU ARE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IT DOES NOT KEPT A STRAIGHT LINE, IT WANDERS TO LEFT AND THE RIGHT NEEDING CORRECTION ALL OF THE TIME. IT IS VERY TIRING AND SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS. IT TALKED TO THE DEALER AND TOYOTA TO REPORT THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID IT IS A NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION AT THIS TIME, NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS. I HOPE THEY FIX THIS SOON OR I HOPE TO SELL IT BACK TO TOYOTA. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT IS WAS NOT ADDRESSED IN THE 2009 MODEL. *TR

I HOPE THIS CAR EPS (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) GET RECALL SOON BEFORE IT CAUSES ACCIDENTS ACROSS THE NATION. *TR
