2011 Toyota Corolla complaints

WELL THE ACCIDENT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT IT COULD BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER IF THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FIX THIS. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-60 IT SEEMS AS THOUGHT THE CRUISE IS ON. THE CAR DOES NOT DECELERATE NORMALLY. IF THERE IS A SLIGHT SLOPE DOWN IT EVEN PICKS UP SPEED. IT'S STILL GETTING FUEL EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL. IT CAN TAKE A FEW MIN OR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE IT KICKS OFF THE GAS AND ACTS NORMALLY. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP NEXT SATURDAY TO GET THIS FIXED, BUT I'M READING THAT SOME DEALERSHIPS ARE SAYING THIS IS NORMAL. I HOPE MINE DOESN'T SAY THAT BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS!! I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY OWNERS. I HOPE THIS HELPS US GET A RECALL FROM TOYOTA. PLEASE HELP!! *TR

MASTER CYLINDER FAILED. BRAKE PEDAL WOULD SINK TO THE FLOOR. BRAKES HAD TO BE PUMPED IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

I PURCHASED A TOYOTA COROLLA S - 2011 FROM A VERY LARGE AND REPUTABLE MASSACHUSETTS TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON 7/28/2013. I PICKED UP THE CAR AT 8:50 PM ON 8/30/2013. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE AND FEAR, UPON GAINING SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY DURING MY 50 MINUTE TRIP HOME, I FELT I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT AT ALL CENTERED, FACING TO THE RIGHT. THE WHEEL MOVED ABOUT, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, VERY LOOSELY AND ON ITS OWN. THE EFFECT OF MY HOLDING ONTO THE WHEEL DID LITTLE TO CONTROL THE WHEELS MOVEMENTS. THIS TERRIFIED ME AND COMPLETLY STRESSED AND FATIGUED ME DURING MY RIDE. I FELT I HAD TO CONSTANTLY REMAIN SHARP AND ALERT, WAITING FOR THE NEED TO CORRECT THE NEXT JERKING MOVEMENT FROM THE WHEEL. UPON ARRIVING HOME, I SPENT THE ENTIRE EVENING RESEARCHING THIS MATTER IN DETAIL, VIA THE INTERNET. I FOUND NUMEROUS FORUMS/DISCUSSION GROUPS REGARDING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND A TOYOTA (OFFICIAL) "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" (TSB) THAT DETAILED THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 AND 2010 COROLLA'S. THE TSB WAS DATED 2010, HOWEVER, VARIOUS FORUMS DISCUSSED THE COROLLA 2011 HAVING THE EXACT SAME EPS SYSTEM (AND THEREFORE, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM). I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN HOURS AND WAS TOLD TO BRING MY COROLLA BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPT. TOMORROW (8/1/2013) SO THAT THE CAR CAN BE LOOKED AT AND REPAIRED. I AM HOPING THE MATTER IS RESOLVED TO A POINT WHERE I CAN HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE DRIVING THIS CAR. I UNDERSTAND YOUR AGENCY RECENTLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLES WERE REVERSED AND THE REAR PASSENGER BUCKLE HAD TO BE SECURED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR AT THE TIME OF ASSEMBLY BUT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM BEAVER TOYOTA IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO IN SEPTEMBER 2012. FROM THE BEGINNING I NOTICED A SLIGHT HESITATION WHILE DRIVING. IT FELT LIKE ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN FOR JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS, LIKE A DELAY OF SOME KIND. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FELT NOTHING. IT KEPT HAPPENING AND I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY DROVE AND FELT NOTHING. FINALLY, I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM CHURCH IN THE DAYTIME, THANK GOD, AND IT JUST STALLED LIKE SOMEONE HAS JUST UNPLUGGED IT (AND ITS NOT ELECTRIC) AND ALL THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND I MADE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE SCARED TO DEATH. I CALLED AAA AND THEY SAID LET IT SIT FOR FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. HE SUGGESTED I DRIVE TO A SERVICE STATION BUT IT WAS SUNDAY AND NO ONE WAS OPEN. I WENT INTO THE DEALER LATER THAT WEEK AND THEY DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING, NO HESITATION AT ALL. I KEPT FEELING IT AND MY ROOMMATE DROVE IT ONCE THOUGHT SHE FELT SOMETHING. TOOK TO BACK AGAIN AND SAT 5 HOURS WHILE THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID IT SHOWED NOTHING. THEY DID REPLACE A BOLT I NOTICED THE HEAD HAD BROKEN OFF ON THE LICENSE PLATE ...JUST MENTIONED IN PASSING & THAT WAS $110 BECAUSE THE SERVICE REP SAID THEY HAD TO DRILL THRU THE BACK PLATE TO REMOVE AND PUT IN NEW ONE! I WOULD HAVE NEVER AGREED TO THAT. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND AN INDEPENDENT TOYOTA AUTHORIZED REPAIR SHOP THAT HAD GREAT REVIEWS AND WENT THERE. TOY AUTOMAN. THEY TOOK ME IN AT MY APPT TIME, ONE HOUR LATER THE NICE OWNER CAME

SINCE NEW, CAR WANDERS/DRIFTS AT SPEEDS OF OVER 65MPH. DIFFICULT TO TRACK STRAIGHT IN HIGHWAY LANE. FEELS SIMILAR TO DRIVING IN HIGH CROSSWINDS EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NONE. IN THE PRESENCE OF LARGE TRUCKS OR CROSSWINDS IT CAN FEEL VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER DOES THE STANDARD "NO PROBLEM FOUND" AND ACTS GENEROUS TO NOT CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. THIS IS PRETTY OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE IN THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SOFTWARE. FEELS LIKE IT MIGHT BE RESPONDING TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SENSOR INPUTS AND HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY DECIDING WHAT TO DO. PERHAPS IT ONLY OCCURS WITH CERTAIN COMBINATIONS OF INPUT SENSORS? THIS WOULD BE THE ONLY JUSTIFICATION FOR NOT HAVING A FULL ON RECALL. MEANWHILE, VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS FOR THOSE OF US THAT DO HAVE IT! FOR REFERENCE, I DROVE AN OTHERWISE IDENTICAL 2013 COROLLA RENTAL CAR RECENTLY IN CO. AT 75MPH+ THE CAR WAS TOTALLY STABLE. THIS POINTS BACK TO THIS BEING A MODEL YEAR ISSUE AND/OR A PART COMBINATION ISSUE AS MENTIONED ABOVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH THE RPMS BEGAN TO INCREASE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED AND FAILED TO SLOW DOWN. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED UNCONTROLLABLY THROUGH A FENCE, TWO DEEP DITCHES AND UP AN EMBANKMENT AND CAME TO A STOP. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BRUISE TO THE CHEST, INJURY TO THE NECK AND HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,527. UPDATED 03/05/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STOPPED BEFORE GOING OVER THE EMBANKMENT. ALSO, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. UPDATED 03/07/14

I PULLED OUT AT A GREEN LIGHT AND A PICKUP TRUCK RAN A RED LIGHT HIT MY CAR IN DRIVER DOOR AT 50MPH AND NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ME AND MY WIFE BOTH HAD INJURIES. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE MY 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA LE (IT HAS 46,665 MILES ON IT) 40-60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE, THE RPMS JUMP SLIGHTLY AND IT SEEMS TO DECELERATE OR ACCELERATE. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. TODAY THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. AGAIN, I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER, ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE MAN TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND IT SHOULD BE FINE FOR ANOTHER 5,000. HE SAID THEY CAN "FLASH" THE COMPUTER IF IT KEEPS GIVING ME TROUBLE. ON THE WAY HOME (10 MILES), ONCE AGAIN IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. IS THERE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. CAN IT BE FIXED??? *TR

ON MAY 04, 2013, MY MOM WAS INVOLVED IN A BAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WITH HER 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA WHERE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR WROTE IT UP AS A TOTAL LOSS AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. MY MOM IS CURRENTLY RECOVERING FROM TWO MAJOR SURGERIES FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE FIRST SURGERY THEY HAD TO REMOVE HER LEFT KIDNEY DUE TO INTERNAL BLEEDING. THE SECOND SURGERY WAS 41/2 HOURS LONG REPAIRING HER BADLY BROKEN RIGHT ARM. .ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT, TO THE MEDICAL STAFF AT THE HOSPITAL AND THE TOWING COMPANY ALL ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THE DRIVER PARKED HER CAR IN A BANK PARKING LOT TO WRITE OUT A CHECK AND WANTED TO CASH IT USING THE BANK DRIVE THRU. SHE BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, MISJUDGING THE PARKING MEDIUM / ISLAND ON HER RIGHT HAND SIDE AND STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. AT THE TIME, HER CAR GOT STUCK ON TOP OF THE MEDIUM. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FREE HER CAR BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF HER VEHICLE AFTER FINALLY BREAKING FREE FROM THE MEDIUM. THE DRIVER DROVE UP AND OVER A PARKING LOT CURB AND ONTO THE GRASS, SCRAPING A BANK SIGN, THROUGH A BLACK IRON FENCE, OFF AN (5FT. TO 6FT.) EMBANKMENT WALL AND INTO A LARGE WOOD UTILITY POLE. THIS CRASH CAUSED HER LAUNCH FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEAD FIRST INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, SHE INJURED THE TOP OF HER HEAD WHERE SHE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE RPM READING DECREASED AS THE VEHICLE JERKED ABNORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,677. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 COROLLA LE WHICH HAS 12K MILES ON IT. TILL 12K EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND I LOVED THIS CAR VERY MUCH. WHILE RETURNING FROM A ROAD TRIP (550 MILES ONE WAY) I STARTED NOTICING LOOSING CONTROL ON THE STEERING AND THE VEHICLE STARTED WANDERING ALL OVER THE LANE. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE HIGH WINDS ON THAT DAY. BUT I GOT TIRED FREQUENTLY DUE TO THIS AND HAD TO TAKE MANY BREAKS. THEN I TRIED TO REACH SOME TOYOTA DEALER ON THE WAY BUT THEY HAD NO SERVICE DUE TO EASTER SUNDAY. SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO REACH BACK TO MY HOME. IT WAS REALLY A DANGEROUS DRIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN HUGE TRUCKS WERE PASSING BY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON THE NEXT DAY. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I COULDN'T AGREE TO THEM. I TOOK THE CAR AND AGAIN NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON HIGH WAYS. AFTER A WEEK I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY VERIFIED THE CAR WITH DIFFERENT SET OF DRIVERS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. I CALLED UP TOYOTA AND REGISTERED A COMPLAINT. BUT THEY SAID WITHOUT REPORT FROM THE DEALER THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. THEY ALSO REPEATED THE SAME AS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. NOW I AM NOT SURE WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED. I REALLY FEEL THAT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STEERING AND I AM LOOSING CONTROL. STEERING FEELS MUCH LIGHTER AND LOOSER THAN BEFORE AND I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH AND ABOVE AT ANY CRUISE SPEED WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL NOT ON, THE VEHICLE TENDS TO DECELERATE AND ACCELERATE BACK AT THE CRUISE/RPM SPEED AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE CONTINUES ACCELERATED FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THE RPM AND THE ENGINE START TO REDUCE SPEED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, A VEHICLE STRUCK THE TOYOTA COROLLA AUTOMOBILE ON THE FRONT, PASSENGER SIDE. THIS COLLISION CAUSED THE COROLLA TO THEN STRIKE A MEDIAN WALL. AFTER THE SECOND IMPACT, THE COROLLA FLIPPED AT LEAST TWO (2) TIMES. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THE ENTIRE FRONT SIDE WAS DAMAGED IN THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 75MPH, WHILE ON AN INCLINE, EITHER APPROACHING THE HILL DOWN/UP THE VEHICLE BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY JERK BACK AND FORTH (BUMPER TO BUMPER). I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON WEDNESDAY 06 FEB 2013, ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED AND I WAS ACCUSED OF WASTING THEIR TIME. MAINTENANCE MANAGER DIDN'T ATTEMPT TO RECREATE ISSUE I EXPERIENCED ON AN INCLINE, BUT INSTEAD TEST DROVE IT ON A FLAT SURFACE ABOUT 2 MILES, THE MAINTENANCE TEAM CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND COMPUTER.. STATED ON MAINTENANCE SLIP THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID IS DISCOLORED AND WOULD NEED TO BE FLUSHED SOON, COMPUTER HAD NO ERROR CODES. AFTER I WAS VERBALLY BERATED BY THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER, I EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD INSTALL A VIDEO CAMERA IN MY VEHICLE TO RECORD THE EVENTS I WAS EXPERIENCING, UPON ASKING IF I RECORDED THE ISSUE, WOULD THEY THEN TAKE ACTION AND REPAIR MY VEHICLE, I WAS LAUGHED AT AND ESSENTIALLY TOLD THAT THEY WOULD FIND A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT TOYOTA WAS NOT AT FAULT. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP OUT-OF-STATE, THAT FLUID SHOULD NOT BE DISCOLORED UNDER 65K MILES AND THAT THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE. AFTER NO FURTHER ACTION WAS TAKEN, I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND FILED A COMPLAINT, UPPER MANAGEMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP THEN OFFERED TO DO A RIDE ALONG, ON 12 FEB 2013. *TR

IT OCCURRED IN OUR PARKING AT 11.30PM, 24 HRS AFTER THE LAST TIME WE DROVE. WE DIDN'T INSTALL ANYTHING IN THE CAR. THE CAR HAD MIRRORS THAT FOLD AND IMMOBILIZER (INSTALLED BY TOYOTA HERE IN ISRAEL) THE GLASSES EXPLODED TO THE OUTSIDE (ACCORDING TO THE FIREMAN) THE FIRE STARTED NEAR OR AT THE BATTERY (ACCORDING TO THE FIREMAN) THE FIRE MOVED FROM THE FRONT PART, TO THE PASSENGERS PART (ACCORDING TO THE FIREMAN). *TR

2011 TOYOTA COROLLA: HAVE HAD CAR ALIGNED 2 TIMES DUE TO EXCESSIVE PULLING TO THE RIGHT, THEREFORE TIRES HAVE WORN UNEVENLY AND NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 17,000 MILES. THE EDGES OF THE TIRES WORE OUT BEFORE 11,000 MILES. I ADDRESSED THE ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO AT FIRST TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY FOR THE ALIGNMENT; THEN I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ALIGNED UNDER WARRANTY. IT HAD TO BE ALIGNED A SCOND TIME DUE TO CONTINUOUS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO PAY FOR TIRES OUT-OF-POCKET, EVEN THOUGH I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD AT LEAST PRO-RATE A NEW SET OF TIRES. SECOND ISSUE IS THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH AND UNEVENLY. IT IDLES ROUGH, AND SINCE I PAID TO HAVE THE INJECTORS CLEANED, IT GETS WORSE GAS MILEAGE THAN EVER. I NOW HAVE THE CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP SHOP AGAIN TO FIX THE IDLE. THEY JUST CALLED AND SAID THE Y HAD TO REPLACE AND RESET THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I EXPECTED THE CAR TO PERFORM BETTER AND TIRES TO LAST MORE THAN A YEAR, AS I PURCHASED THE CAR DEC. 2012. *TR

I WAS HIT BY A BIG RIG TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH WHILE STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BIG RIGS IMPACT FORCED ME INTO THE BACK OF AN F150XL, CAUSING SIGNIFCANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

APPROX. A WEEK AFTER THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH ON 08/29/2011. THIS VEHICLE WAS CRASHED DUE TO AN HIGHER THAN USUAL REV WHICH DELAYS THE TIME FOR A VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. THE REV ON THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT DECLINE SOMETIMES WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH TOYOTA CAR SO I HAVE WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES TO HAVE A MULTI POINT INSPECTION AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTLY FINE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO "DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE. FEELING LIKE THERE IS NOTHING I COULD DO I GAVE UP AND JUST CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT WITH EXTRA CAUTION AND MAKE PAYMENTS ON MY LEASE TILL THE TERM WAS OVER. ABOUT A YEAR LATER AT 11,000 ON MY RECENT SERVICE VISIT THE TOYOTA MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. HE STATED THAT THIS WAS UNUSUAL AT THIS MILEAGE AND BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE, BUT ON MY CAR THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY GONE. NOW I HAVE ABOUT 12,800 MILES, AND THE ENGINE REVVING IS STARTING TO INTERFERE WITH MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE. THE EXCESSIVE ENGINE REV IS THE CULPRIT THAT CAUSES MY BRAKES BEING USED HEAVILY. AFTER I RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKE HAS TO WORK EXTRA HARD TO STOP THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED SOUTH EAST TOYOTA FINANCE AND THEY JUST EMPATHIZED WITH MY SITUATION. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE MECHANIC TOOK THREE HOURS TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND REFERRED ME TO A SALES REPRESENTATIVE WHO TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I REFUSED TO BUY A N

I AM WRITING TO REPORT AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SAFETY DEFECT WITH MY 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND NOTICED, DURING MY FIRST TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CENTER LANE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND THE FASTER THE VEHICLE SPEED THE MORE PRONOUNCED THE DRIFT BECAME. ROAD SMOOTHNESS DID NOT SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I ASSUMED THAT SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST VEHICLE WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IT MUST JUST TAKE ME SOME GETTING ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING IT. HAVING DRIVEN IT FOR 18 MONTHS, IN VARIED WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS, I AM NOW CONVINCED IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT AS IT CAUSES ME MUCH FATIGUE TO DRIVE IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR MORE THAN APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES DUE TO CONSTANT STEERING INPUTS REQUIRED JUST TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE. ON 3 DECEMBER 2012 I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO MY TOYOTA DEALER FOR WARRANTY REPAIR AND WAS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON "TEST DROVE VEHICLE. HIGH WINDS AND POOR STREET CONDITIONS SEEM TO HAVE MORE AFFECT ON SMALLER VEHICLES THAN LARGER HEAVIER ONES. CHECKED ALIGNMENT IN SPEC AND TIRE PRESSURES ARE GOOD AS WELL." THE TEST DRIVE WAS LESS THAN 10 MILES IN DURATION. *TR

THE CAR IS WANDERING SIDEWAYS AND YOU HAVE TO REALLY CONTROL AND FOCUS ON KEEPING THE WHEEL STRAIGHT TO STAY ON LANE. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS LIKE YOU ARE ALWAYS DRIVING ON WINDY WEATHER WITH SEVERE WIND GUSTS. THIS HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY, WITH A SPEED OF 60 MPH OR HIGHER. THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT COULD BE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT BUT AFTER THEY ALIGNED IT AND CHECKED IT, THE PROBLEM REMAINS. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE WE GET SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SNOW DURING WINTER AND I AM AFRAID OF MY SAFETY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I RECENTLY TOOK A TRIP FROM THE SOUTH TO THE MID WEST. THE ROADS ARE MUCH STRAIGHTER AND THE SPEED LIMIT IS HIGHER. I HAD BEEN NOTICING THAT THE CAR DRIFTS BACK AND FORTH ON THE HIGHWAY BUT HADN'T PAID IT MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL WE WENT NORTH. WHILE DOING 70-75MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAYS THAT ARE STRAIGHT FOREVER THE CAR WAS INCREDIBLY HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT. WHEN I GOT HOME IT WAS DUE FOR REGULAR SERVICE AND I ADDRESSED MY CONCERN WITH THE STEERING. THEY "DID" AN ALIGNMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR AND TOOK IT ON THE HIGHWAY 24 HRS LATER I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT STRAIGHT. THE "T" TOYOTA SYMBOL ON THE WHEEL HAD TO BE SLANTED TO THE LEFT IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IF YOU HELD THE WHEEL STRAIGHT THE CAR WAS DRIVING OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT! THE DRIFTING SIDE TO SIDE WAS WORSE THAN EVER!!!!! I HAVE SINCE TAKEN MY COROLLA TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP ABOUT 5 TIMES NOW (ALTHOUGH THEY HAVEN'T PROPERLY RECORDED THAT IN THE COMPUTER, THEY SHOW ITS ONLY BEEN ABOUT 3), TAKEN THE LEAD SERVICE TECH AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP FOR A RIDE IN MY CAR AND THEY COMPLETELY AGREED WITH ME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF, NOTICEABLY! THEY HELD MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND REPLACED THE "STEERING COMPUTER" AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DROVE IT AFTER IT WAS "FIXED" AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME. I THEN DROVE IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 30 MIN LATER AND IT IS STILL FREAKING CROOKED!!!!!! TOYOTA CORP AND THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP ARE MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM 65-80 MPH THIS VEHICLE TAKES CONSTANT EFFORT TO KEEP IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IT FEELS AS IF YOU ARE ALWAYS DRIVING ON A WINDY DAY EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THE STEERING IN TOO SENSITIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND EVEN THE SMALLEST MOVEMENTS CAUSE THE CAR TO MOVE ALOT. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF THIS WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND WOULD NOT EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I NOTIFIED TOYOTA WITH WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE AND GOT NOT ANSWER FROM THEM EITHER, VERY FRUSTRATING ON A BRAND NEW CAR. I WISH I WOULD HAVE TEST DROVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. IF THEY COULD FIX THE STEERING THIS WOULD BE AN ENJOYABLE VEHICLE, BUT ON THIS CAR WEARS YOU OUT ON INTERSTATE DRIVES. PLEASE COME OUT WITH SOME KIND OF UPDATE ON THE STEERING FOR THIS VEHICLE! *TR

UPDATE!. ON 11/25/11 I WROTE: NOV 25, 2011 - THE VILLAGES, FL - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL THIS IS A NEW CAR PURCHASE (W/200 MI). AT 60-75 MPH (AND NOTICEABLE ALSO AT SLOWER SPEEDS ON OTHER ROADS) ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR'S STEERING WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD, IT CANNOT STAY ON A STRAIGHT LINE EVEN IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT MOVED. T ---------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 3/2/12 - I HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM FOR ME IS NOT LOOSENESS OR WANDERING FROM LOOSENESS IT'S AN OVERLY TIGHT STEERING SITUATION CAUSING TRACKING FLUCTUATIONS... MOST CARS HAVE SOME SLACK OR 'LOOSENESS' WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AT HIGHER SPEEDS... FOR SAFETY. HUMANS BREATHE AND MOVE THEIR BODIES AND HEADS ALL THE TIME. THIS ALL TRANSLATES TO SMALL NATURAL MOVEMENTS IN THE ARMS AND HANDS. IF THE STEERING AT HIGHER SPEEDS IS SO TIGHT THAT THE LEAST MOVEMENT ON THE STEERING TRANSLATES TO WHEEL MOVEMENT (IMAGINE A GO CART AT 75 MPH) , THEN WHILE IT'S GREAT AT 30-45MPH (FOR TIGHT RESPONSIVE STEERING) - IT MAKES FOR AN UNMANAGEABLE STRUGGLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS TO CONTROL THE STEERING. THE CAR STEERING IS REACTING TO THE SMALLEST MOVEMENTS... THINK... FLYING A SLOWER CESSNA 172 WHERE LARGE STEERING MOVEMENTS CAUSE SLOW TURNS, YET IN A MILITARY JET A MINUTE MOVEMENT OF THE STICK CAUSES TIGHT RADICAL CHANGES. MOST HUMANS ARE NOT JET PILOTS AND WE NEED SOME 'SLACK' AT HIGH SPEEDS...OTHERWISE OVER-CORRECTIONS COULD CAUSE STEERING OSCILLATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL (CRASH). PERHAPS TOYOTA COUNTERE

NOT SO IT CONTINUES TO MISFIRE AND ACT LIKE IS FIXING TO STALL.I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN THE HEAD OF SERVICE DROVE IT SAID IT WAS JUMPING IN AND OUT OF OVERDRIVE JUST DRIVE IT DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT .WELL IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE SO I TOOK IT BACK IN THE SERVICE GUY SAID AFTER DRIVING IT WAS THE BEST DRIVING COROLLA HE HAD BEEN IN ,COURSE I KNEW THAT WAS NOT SO CAUSE TO THIS DAY IT KEEPS TRYING TO STALL IN TRAFFIC.THE STEERING SEEMS TO BE GETTING HARD TO CONTROL IT WEAVES MORE THAN IT SHOULD LIKE THE FRONT END IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BUT IF YOU LET GO IT TRACKS STRAIGHT. I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR IF IT DOES STALL IN TRAFFIC THERE IS GOING TO BE A SERIOUS WRECK.I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THE COROLLA NOT TRUE MY PAPER WORK SHOWS THEY DID A SERVICE RECALL TO THE DEALERS. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? I USE THIS CAR TO DRIVE MY 87 YEAR OLD MOTHER TO THE STORE AND DOCTOR GOD FORBID IT STALLS WITH ME DRIVING HER SOMEWHERE.I AM PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR SOMETHING I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE,IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT I BOUGHT THIS THINKING IT WAS A R

WHEN I TEST DROVE THIS COROLLA, TOOK IT ON THE HIGHWAY BUT ONLY GOT TO A SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH BECAUSE WE GOT ON ONE ENTRANCE AND OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT. SHORT HIGHWAY DRIVE. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I TOOK AT 150 MILE TRIP TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN FROM WHERE I LIVE. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS FIGHTING THROUGH A WINDY DAY (THERE WAS NO WIND) AND THE CAR WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. I WAS SO TIRED BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY DESTINATION! I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO BULLETINS ARE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. THEY RESET THE "FLASH" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND IT HELPED FIX THE FEELING THAT I WAS DRIVING ON ICE. BUT THE STEERING IS NOT BETTER. I SAW ON SEVERAL FORUMS THERE ARE OTHER 2011 COROLLA'S WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS SCARY, I AM A FEMALE, AND I HATE THIS CAR! I CAN'T SELL IT BECAUSE I OWE TOO MUCH ON IT. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP??? *TR

PURCHASED MY 3RD COROLLA ON 01/14/2011. IT IS A 2011 LE. I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS VERY INDEPENDENT FROM THE ROAD, IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING IN SERIOUS WIND, WHEN THERE IS NO WIND. I DO NOT LIKE THE FEEL AND IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE. I AM NOT DRIVING A VIDEO ARCADE GAME, I AM ACTUALLY BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A MOVING AUTOMOBILE, BUT, HAVE THE FEEL OF DRIVING THE VIDEO ARCADE GAME WITH A VERY SLOPPY AND UNRESPONSIVE FEEL. THIS IS NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE. MY PREVIOUS COROLLA MODELS WERE A 1986 LE, WHICH I DROVE UNTIL PURCHASING THE 2005 CE MODEL. I DROVE A 2007 RAV4 FOR 10 MOS BEFORE PURCHASING THE 2011 LE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL FIGHT TO HAVE THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY AND WOULD NEVER ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. *KB

TRANSMISSION SHIFT 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IS HARD, ALL OTHER SHIFTS ARE FINE. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION "CHOKES" AND YOU GET A HARD BANG IN THE DRIVETRAIN. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEAT DOESN'T LOCK PROPERLY, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES REALLY HARD IN ORDER TO GET THE SEAT FRONT-TO-REAR ADJUSTER TO LOCK OR "CLICK" INTO PLACE. THE SEAT ALSO SQUEAKS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, AND I WEIGH ONLY 175 LBS. CAR HAS ABOUT 3000 MILES TODAY, AND THE SALES DEALER WILL NOT SCHEDULE ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MY ONLY DAY OFF FROM WORK (SATURDAY) SO I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO TAKE A PERSONAL DAY OFF DURING THE WEEK BECAUSE APPARENTLY AN OIL CHANGE IS MORE IMPORTANT. *KB
