STEERING
AFTER MAKING A RIGHT COMING OFF INTERSTATE 95, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT STRAIGHTEN UP. IT CAUSED THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR; THE CAR THEN WENT OVER THE MEDIAN WHICH CAUSED IT TO BLOW OUT THE TIRE, DESTROY THE RIM AND DAMAGE THE AXLE, AT MINIMUM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE IS A CASE WHERE MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2013 HAS AN INACCURATE READING OF ITS FUEL RANGE. BELOW YOU CAN FIND AN INSTANCE OF THE SEQUENCE FOR REPRODUCING THE GLITCH. STEP 1: COROLLA FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING A LITTLE MORE THAN 1/4 OF THE FUEL TANK CAPACITY. I FILLED UP THE TANK, AFTER THAT, THE FUEL RANGE WAS SHOWING 294 MILES,IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY, AND THE AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION WAS 26.9 MILES/GALLON. STEP 2: TRAVEL ABOUT 30 MILES WITH THE CAR. FUEL RANGE WAS SHOWING 265 MILES. STEP 3: FILL UP THE TANK AGAIN. STEP 4: TRAVEL WITH THE CAR 1 MILE. THE FUEL RANGE SHOWED 264 MILES. IT HAS NOT RESET THE FUEL RANGE YET. STEP 5: TRAVEL 50 MILES MORE. THE FUEL RANGE HAS NOT RESET ACCORDING THE FUEL GAUGE YET. THE FUEL RANGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEN, GO TO STEP 1, THE FUEL RANGE RESET ACCORDING TO THE FUEL GAUGE AFTER TRAVEL A FEW METERS. I HAVE REPEATED THIS SEQUENCE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME RESULT. IT MEANS, AS YOU FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE, THE FUEL RANGE HAS AN INACCURATE READING.I FOUND THIS GLITCH WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK BEFORE TANKING A TRIP OUT OF MY CITY AND THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL. *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SPEED CONTROL DISENGAGES AND DECELERATES RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING ON HIGHWAY UPGRADES AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THIS MODEL IS A MANUAL 5 SPEED. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED, THEIR SERVICE MANAGER RESPONDED THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS MODEL, BUT THAT TOYOTA HAD NOT PROVIDED ANY UPDATED PROGRAM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. THE DECELERATION IS NOT A SLOWING BASED ON WEIGHT, BUT A TOTAL DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CONTROL, WHICH IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN A REAR-END COLLISION FROM BEHIND SHOULD ANY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF SIZE, BE FOLLOWING AT EVEN A RECOMMENDED DISTANCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS VEHICLE ON 4 OCCASIONS, AND FROM WHAT THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM, INHERENT TO THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA AND OTHER MODELS THAT SHARE THE SAME PROGRAM. *JS

STEERING
I LEASED MY COROLLA ON 3/2013. I NOTICED THAT I HAD TROUBLE STEERING THE CAR RIGHT AWAY, BUT JUST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T USED TO THE NEW ELECTRIC STEERING. ON THE FIRST 5000 MILE MAINTENANCE I ASKED THE ADVISER TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT AND TIRES CHECKED. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. 10,000 MILE MAINTENANCE I REQUESTED THE SAME BECAUSE THE CAR IS A CHORE TO CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD, SOMETIMES TO THE LEFT, AND THEN TO THE RIGHT. IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THE STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING, AND THE CAR PERFORMS THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHER COROLLA'S. I CALLED BACK THE NEXT WEEK AND THEY THEY'LL HAVE TO BEGIN CHARGING ME NOW, BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WILL NOT ALLOW FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT, AND I'VE ONLY BEEN ISSUED 1 TRAFFIC VIOLATION TICKET SINCE I OBTAINED MY LICENSE IN 1980. THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE SEVERAL EXTREMELY CLOSE CALLS. THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA IS DANGEROUS. I DRIVE ABOUT 15 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK AND BACK. I'VE HAD TO RESORT TO TAKING SIDE STREETS TO AVOID THE FREEWAY. WE HAVE FAMILY IN OTHER STATES BUT WE CAN'T DRIVE THERE IN THE COROLLA BECAUSE THE COROLLA WILL PROBABLY CAUSE US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BEFORE WE REACH OUR DESTINATION. MY WIFE AND I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT TOYOTA'S, AND THIS IS MY FOURTH COROLLA. I BOUGHT MY FIRST COROLLA IN 1982, BUT I'VE BEGUN THE ARBITRATION PROCESS FOR THEM TO BUY BACK THIS PIECE OF JUNK. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, I'LL USE THE LEMON LAW. SHAME ON YOU TOYOTA FOR DELIVERING SUCH A DANGEROUS AUTOMOBILE, AND THEN DOING NOTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH THE CAR WANDERS TO THE LEFT. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT KEPT DRIFTING LEFT. I HELD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT ON CENTER AND THE CAR KEPT DRIFTING LEFT. I HAD TO HOLD TIGHT TO THE STEERING AND WHEN I FELT IT DRIFTING LEFT, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING TO PREVENT FROM GOING INTO THE OTHER LANE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME DRIFTING / STEERING / WANDERING PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 2300 MILES ON IT AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA TELLS ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY REPAIRED AND WORKING AS DESIGNED. I DON'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT THIS I AM NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. MY ONLY RECOURSE NOW IS THE LEMON LAW. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR AND I WANT IT TO DRIVE LIKE A BRAND NEW CAR. I DON'T THINK THAT IS TOO MUCH TO ASK. *TR

STEERING, TIRES, SUSPENSION
SINCE THE DAY WE LEASED 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA JULY 2013, THE CAR IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT TO KEEP IN LANE, BUZZY, VIBRATION. VERY SCARY IN THE RAIN AND SNOW. CONSTANTLY TCB LOCKS FRONT RIGHT BRAKE AND PULL CAR TOWARDS THE DITCH. HAD TO BACK DOWN A HILL IN THE SNOW SEVERAL TIMES THAT WE HAVE DRIVEN OVER MANY YEARS. WHY WOULD YOU PUT 55 SERIES TIRE ON A SMALL CAR LIKE THIS UNLESS TO COVER UP STEERING ISSUES. WE HAVE 4 BLIZZACK NEW SNOW TIRES AND STILL SCARY TO DRIVE. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF OUR OTHER 16 PRIOR TOYOTA'S. COMPLAINED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD ALL WITHIN SPECS, GET USED TO NEW TECHNOLOGY. SPOKE WITH TOYOTA FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE ON 02/27/2014 AGAIN TOLD THE SAME THING, THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT, "NEVER HEARD" OF ANY STEERING ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. NO ANTI SWAY BAR ON ANY COROLLA NOW, BUT A $400 OPTION IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THEM UPGRADE IT! WE ORIGINALLY BOUGHT FOR COLLEGE BOUND TEENAGER, NOW SITS IN DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE. HELP PLEASE! *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
I STOPPED ON A SLOW GOING TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY.SUDDENLY, A FORD EXPLORER HIT ME ON THE BACK TRUNK AND REAR GLASS DAMAGED SUDDENLY AND PUSHED MY CAR TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT DAMAGED THE FRONT BADLY. IF I HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK, IT WILL HURT THEM BADLY OR SUDDEN DEATH BECAUSE OF THE BACK IS NOT STRONG WHICH CAUSE THE GLASSES TO BREAK AND BEND THE TRUNK AND SUN ROOF. THE AIR BAG DID NOT POP UP. IT IS NOT SAFE!! MY HEAD, NECK, BACK, SPINAL CORD WERE PAINFUL. THERE WERE NO DAMAGE ON THE FORD EXPLORER. TOYOTA WAS EASILY DAMAGE AND ROLLED/PUSHED TO THE FRONT CAR. PLEASE TESTED THE BACK/TRUNK/BUMPER/AIRBAG. RECENTLY ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO, MY 2006 COROLLA WAS HIT BEHIND FROM A HONDA ACCORD THAT WAS GOING 5MPH AFTER MAKING A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT. MY CAR WAS BADLY DAMAGED AT THE BUMPER AND HEAD LIGHTS, WHILE THE OTHER CAR WAS HARDLY DAMAGED. THIS IS THE 3RD ACCIDENTS IN 4 MONTH WITH COROLLA BODY PARTS. AFTER THESE ACCIDENTS, I DO NOT WANT TO OWN ANOTHER TOYOTA!! I'M SCARED FOR MY LIFE. *TR
