SUSPENSION:REAR, STEERING
1. 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S WAS PURCHASED FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH 8 MILES. RIGHT AFTER GOING OFF THE LOT, AND ONTO THE FREEWAY, CAR WAS UNSTABLE. EVEN IF YOU HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT, THE CAR WANTS TO JUMP LEFT AND RIGHT RANDOMLY. BASICALLY IT IS UNSTABLE. 2. CAR IS UNSTABLE AND REQUIRES MORE THAN NORMAL CONCENTRATION AND MORE EFFORT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT, AS CAR DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT. 3. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER WITH APPROXIMATELY 185 MILES. TEST DROVE WITH TECHNICIAN, WHO SAID IT VEERS SLIGHTLY RIGHT. ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. THE FRONT WAS OFF BY A BIT AND CORRECTED. BUT REAR OF CAR WAS OUT OF SPEC WITH REGARDS TO LEFT AND RIGHT TOE. BASICALLY BOTH REAR WHEELS FACING TOWARDS THE LEFT. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I BRING IN A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT ADDRESSES ON-CENTER STEERING FEEL. THE DOCUMENT REQUIRES ALIGNMENT DONE, THEN POWER-STEERING ECU REPLACED. MY ECU IS THEN REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ALIGNMENT IN REAR IS NOT ADJUSTED, SINCE THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THEY GIVE ME BACK THE CAR WITH THE NEW ECU EVEN IF REAR TOE IS OFF ALONG WITH TOTAL REAR CAMBER. THEY ALSO SAY THAT TOTAL REAR TOE IS CORRECT AT .38 DEG, BUT EVEN IF LEFT AND RIGHT REAR TOE IS OFF, AS LONG AS TOTAL REAR TOE IS GOOD, CAR IS WITHIN TOYOTA SPECIFICATIONS AND TOLERANCES. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT. IF LEFT AND RIGHT TOES ARE OFF, THEN CAR IS NOT ALIGNED. RIGHT REAR TOE IS OUT OF SPEC BY .15 DEGREES WHILE LEFT REAR TOE IS OFF BY -.09 DEGREES. I TAKE THE CAR AND DRIVE IT FOR 1 DAY AND A HALF, AND THE CAR VEERS RIGHT ON THE FREEWAY. IF IT HITS A BUMP ON A TURN, IT USUALLY MAKES THE CAR WANT TO JUMP RIGHT. BASICALLY PROVING THAT THE REAR TOE IS OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS. *TR

STEERING
MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CAR WANDERS AROUND THE ROAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ALIGNMENT. DESPITE AN ALIGNMENT SERVICE, THE STEERING IS STILL VERY DIFFICULT AND EXHAUSTING. THE WANDERING, CORRECTIVE STEERING MEASURES THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN AND CONSTANT VIGILANCE WHEN DRIVING ARE EXHAUSTING. IT IS A DIFFICULT CAR TO DRIVE, PARTICULARLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NARROW ROADS AND AT THE HIGHER CRUISING SPEEDS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE SHOWROOM. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, TIRES
I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA 2010,I HAD IT SINCE JUNE 2010, . I WENT THROUGH A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT ON HW 1 CA @ 8:45 AM ON TUESDAY WHICH WAS A SUNNY, CLEAR , NOT FOGGY NOR RAINY DAY (WEATHER CONDITION WAS PERFECT),I WAS DRIVING ON 63 MPH (NORMAL SPEED IS 65) ON THE FAST LEFT LANE AND SUDDENLY I FELT THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE IS VEERING THE CAR INTO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION ACTING AS IF IT BELOW UP (BUT IT DIDN'T) AND MY CAR IS VEERING TO THE LEFT , MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED AND IS NOT RESPONDING AT ALL WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE THE CAR DIRECTIONTO THE RIGHT. THERE WAS NO WAY TO DRIVE THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED COMPLETELY TO RESPOND TO ANY ATTEMPT TO TURN IT TO THE RIGHT IN AN ATTEMPT TO GAIN CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT IN STRAIGHT LINE. BRAKES AS WELL WERE NOT RESPONDING. ALL ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR OR TURN IT TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID BUMPING THE RAILS AND KEEP IT STRAIGHT IN THE LANE FAILED. I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR & IT STARTED FISHTAILING IN THE FRONT. THE CAR DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT BUMPED INTO THE GUARDING RAIL, AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND IT TOOK THE CAR MORE THAN 20 FEED TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP BY IT SELF. I FAILED TO STOP IT.AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR CORRECTED ITS DIRECTION &WENT IN STRAIGHT LINE DIRECTION SCRUBBING AGAINST THE RAIL COMPLETELY DAMAGING THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR BEFORE IT STALL. THEN ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND CAR SOUNDS WENT ON AND THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR WAS NOT IN A DRIVABLE CONDITION SO I HAD TO TOW IT AWAY. I HAVE A WITNESS WHO DESCRIBED MY ACCIDENT SAYING THAT MY CAR KEPT SWERVING TO THE LEFT & WAS AMBIGUOUSLY UNCONTROLLED, HE WAS THE ONE THAT TOOK CARE OF ME AFTER THE CAR BUMPED THE RAIL. THIS ACCIDENT IS A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR OTHERS ON THE HW. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED ON MY WAY HOME AFTER I DROPPED OFF MY SON TO SCHOOL ,THE TWO CAR SEATS I HAD IN THE CAR WERE DAMAGED, THE CAR DAMAGE WAS ESTIMATED BY $10,000. I SUFFER FROM A SEVERE PAIN. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO, AND HAVE HAD IMMENSE PROBLEMS STEERING IT. ONCE I HIT 35-40 MILES PER HOUR, IT BECOMES INCREDIBLY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO STEER. HIGHWAY MILES ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT, AND IT TAKES AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. I HAVE HAD INCREDIBLE PAIN IN BOTH SHOULDERS SINCE BUYING THIS CAR, A PROBLEM I HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE DRIVING ANY OTHER CAR. FOR WHATEVER REASON, STABILIZING THIS VEHICLE IS INCREDIBLE DIFFICULT, AND IN MY OPINION, IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS A RESULT. DUE TO THE PAIN IN BOTH OF MY SHOULDERS, AND MY SAFETY CONCERNS WHILE DRIVING IT, I WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE SELLING THIS CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
