STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
STEERING AND GAS THROTTLE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES HAVING DIFFICULTIES STEERING THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU 'RE NOT IN CONTROL WITH THE WHEEL. EVEN SOMETIMES AT LOWER SPEED. REGARDING GAS THROTTLE THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT RESPONDING WHILE YOU ARE STEEPING THE GAS PEDAL. IT'S LIKE DRIVING ON A NEUTRAL GEAR. WE HAVE NOT REPORTED THE STEERING PROBLEM BUT WE HAVE REPORTED THE GAS PEDAL ISSUE TWICE TO THE DEALER. IT SO HAPPEN THAT THE 2ND COMPLAIN WE DID WAS THE TIME THEY STARTED DOING THE RECALL. GAS PEDAL WHERE CHANGE AS THE RECALL REQUIRED.THE STEERING PROBLEM IS NOW A NEWER CONCERN FOR US. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH STEERING BEFORE BUT WE JUST IGNORE IT. BECAUSE IT'S BEEN RAINING IN OUR AREA DURING THE FAST FEW WEEKS. WE WHERE THINKING THAT THE ROADS ARE JUST WET AND SOMEWHAT IT IS SLIPPERY TO DRIVE BUT EVEN THE WEATHER HAD CHANGED WE SOMETIMES EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. LAST ENCOUNTER WITH THE STEERING PROBLEM IS TODAY(02/20/2010). *TR

STEERING
PURCHASED A 2010 COROLLA LAST AUGUST. THE STEERING IS "SLOPPY", "LOOSE" - LIKE THERE'S EXCESSIVE "PLAY" IN THE WHEEL - AND NEEDS CONSTANT CORRECTION, OR THE CAR WILL WANDER ALL OVER THE PLACE. A LONG TRIP IN THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE AN EXHAUSTING ADVENTURE. AND THERE'S ONLY A THOUSAND MILES ON IT. YOU CAN ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF OWNERS WHO FEEL THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC, SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2010 COROLLA IT CONSTANTLY SWAYS WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES I NEED TO HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS TO KEEP IT FROM GOING INTO ANOTHER LANE. I SWITCHED FROM DRIVING A SMALL VW BEETLE AND WAS FAMILIAR WITH STRONG WINDS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS BUT WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW THERE WAS NO WIND ALL THE TREES WERE STILL AND NO FLAGS WERE WAVING. THERE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I REALLY FELT THE CAR WAS GOING TO SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL IF I DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN. I ALSO FEEL A METAL GRINDING SENSATION WITH MY BRAKES WHEN I SLOW DOWN OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR GO OVER A SPEED BUMP. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR IT OCCURRED 6 TIMES. I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHICH IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THERE HASN'T BEEN A TIME THAT I'VE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT FELT THIS SWAYING. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO FIND A PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T DO A THING TO HELP ME. THAN I HEARD OF OTHER COROLLA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SO I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND THEY NEED TO RECOGNIZE THEY MADE ANOTHER MISTAKE. *TR

STEERING
PURCHASES NEW COROLLA ON 12/26/09. UPON DRIVING 18 MILES TO MY HOME ON THE FREEWAY, I FOUND IT HARD TO STEER THE CAR. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE OR HYDROPLANING. WHAT A SCARY FEELING. I CALLED MY SALESMAN, HE SAID BRING IT IN, BUT I HAD TO GET HOME TO CARE FOR MY 85 YR OLD MOTHER WHO HAS DEMENTIA. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ONCE. THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF ONLY IN THE TOE AND ADJUSTED AS WERE THE OVER-INFLATED TIRES OF 37 LBS EACH, ADJUSTED TO 34 LBS. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS REPLACE THOUGH I HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE STEERING IS STILL VERY SENSITIVE HAVING TO PULL THE CAR ON A STRAIGHT PATH AS IT TENDS TO VEER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. MY MASTER REPAIR MECHANIC AND I WENT ON A DRIVE TODAY, 02/18/10. HE SAID THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE NOT ALIGNING WITH THE STEERING. FELT AS THOUGH YOU WERE SITTING SIDEWAYS AND TRYING TO DRIVE. I WILL HAVE AN APPT ON MONDAY, 02/22/10 AGAIN WITH FOLSOM TOYOTA, LETS SEE WHAT WE CAN DO??? CARS KEEP AT A DISTANCE AWAY FROM ME AS I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO STEER THE CAR CORRECTLY WITHIN THE LANE??? PS THIS IS MY 4TH NEW TOYOTA, NEVER DROVE ONE THAT FELT THIS SCARY! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
FOR CAR BRAKING SYSTEM: AS YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOU HAVE TO PRESS IT REALLY HARD FOR IT TO START TO STOP THE CAR,IF YOU STOP THE CAR, AND RELEASE THE BREAK PEDAL THE CAR GOES SO FAST THAT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ( BUT NOBODY IS PRESSING NO PEDAL AT ALL). THE BRAKING ON A SHALLOW ROAD MAKES THE CAR SHAKE ESPECIALLY THE BRAKING PEDALS AND IT MAKES NOISE, AND AT THE SAME TIME IT IS NEEDED TO PUT SOME EXTRA FORCE AND PUSH THE BRAKES REALLY HARD FOR IT TO WORK, THE ROAD DOES NOT NEED TO BE THAT BAD FOR IT TO HAPPEN, AT TIMES IT HAPPENS ON A VERY SMALL DEPRESSION. *TR
