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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO PARK TOYOTA COROLLA 2012 IN A GRASS PARKING SPACE. DRIVER (ME) BEGAN TO BRAKE TO GET INTO THE DESIGNATED PARKING SPACE, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED (AS IF IT HAS A "MIND OF ITS OWN") UNTIL IT STRUCK THE VEHICLE PARKED IN FRONT, DRIVER CONTINUED TO APPLY BRAKES BUT VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AND VEHICLE CONTINUED ACCELERATING; THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ALSO PARKED. DRIVER TRIED TO STOP THE CAR BY SHIFTING TO "PARKING" BUT IT JUST MADE A LOUD NOISE AND THE SHIFT GEAR WAS STUCK. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE COLLISION CENTER OF THE TOYOTA DEAL, AND REQUESTED AN INSPECTION TO CHECK FOR MECHANICAL FAILURES. AFTER MANY UNSUCCESSFUL FOLLOW UP CALLS, THE COLLISION CENTER MANAGER COMMUNICATED ON 02/07/2012 THAT: "THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AS THEY TESTED AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE CAR REPLICATE THE INCIDENT," (THE COLLISION DAMAGE REPAIRS WERE FINALIZED ON 02/06/2014.) NOTE: A RECALL NOTICE WAS PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED FOR AIRBAG SENSOR DEFECT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR PRIOR TO COLLISION. AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT, AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR
