STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA (VIN# [XXX] ) PURCHASED ON OCT 31 2009 FROM SANSONEAUTOMALL, NJ. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN INITIALLY WHICH STARTED WITH SOME UNIQUE SOUND, THEN FROM FEB 2010 I WAS SERIOUSLY FACING STEERING FREEZE (WILL GET HARDEN) ONLY 15-20% OF STEERING MOVES WHEN IN 0' SPEED, FOR THIS I HAVE VISITED MY DEALER SERVICE CENTER 3 TIMES BUT THERE IS NO USE. ONLY WITH LOT OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND ARGUMENTS SAYING "WHAT IS THE REASON TO BUY A BRAND NEW CAR TO GET PROBLEMS" I WAS REQUESTING TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM. THEY SIMPLY SAID, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER MEAN TO COMMUTE ITS UPTO YOU AND IF YOU WANT YOU CALL TOYOTA HEAD QUARTERS FOR THIS. I EVEN SPENT LOT OF TIME IN CALLING MAIN TOYOTA NR BUT SIMPLY I GET VOICE MESSAGE THAT "THERE IS HUGE VOLUME OF CALL WAITING PLEASE WAIT". I REALLY WONDER WHEN I/ANYONE BUY A CAR FROM DEALER AND IF THEY CANNOT RECEIVE ME ASSIST ME PROPERLY "WHERE FROM I GET THE JUSTICE????". RECENTLY I FOUND TWO MORE NEW PROBLEMS THEY ARE: IN A SLOPE ROAD CAR PICKS-UP ACCELERATION AND MAINTAINS SPEED AS IF IT IS CRUISED AND ONCE I APPLY BREAK AFTER A WHILE THE SPEED COMES TO NORMAL POSITION OTHER PROB- FUEL INDICATOR STUCK UP TO FULL LEVEL INDI' EVEN THE FUEL IS LOW. WITH THIS I'M DAY BY DAY GETTING DEPRESSED AS I SPENT QUITE LOT OF SAVINGS (MONEY) ON THE CAR TO AVOID ANY HASSLES BUYING A USED CAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS A DISASTER TO ME. I REQUEST TO PROVIDE ME NEEDED SOLUTION TO FIX MY DEPRESSING SITUATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
I TRADED IN MY 2009 COROLLA LE AND PURCHASED A 2010 COROLLA LE TWO WEEKS AGO. WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I AM HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING THE CAR FROM WANDERING. IT FEELS VERY MUCH LIKE I AM DRIVING IN A STRONG CROSS WIND ALTHOUGH THIS OCCURS DURING ALL WIND CONDITIONS. THIS CAR IS EXACTLY LIKE THE CAR I TRADED IN EXCEPT THAT MY OLD CAR DIDN'T HAVE THIS STEERING ISSUE. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM TOYOTA ABOUT A FIX AND THAT THEY WERE CERTAIN THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX MY PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD TO INQUIRE AGAIN WHEN I BRING MY CAR IN FOR IT'S 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE. HOPEFULLY I'LL STILL BE ALIVE TO COMPLAIN AT THAT TIME. *TR

STEERING
MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA PULLS LIKE THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF BUT ON BOTH SIDES REGARDLESS OF ROAD GRADE. GALE TOYOTA OF ENFIELD, CT WERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FIRST SAID IT JUST NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN, THEN WHEN THEY WERE FIXING THE ACCELERATION RECALL I TOLD THEM IT'S STILL THERE THEY SAID THAT'S NORMAL, FINALLY THEY DID THE ALIGNMENT AND SAID ITS FINE.

TWO HANDS ARE NEEDED AT ALL TIMES OVER 40MPH. I WILL SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH WHEN I RETURN TO PICK THE CAR UP TODAY.
