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.

STEERING
THE CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 10\19\2010 IN A TOWN ABOUT 3 HOURS FROM WHERE I LIVE. MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR HOME. TIRE PRESSURES WERE CHECKED AND WERE AT 30 PSI PER THE VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURER'S LABEL. I THEN DROVE THE CAR (FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A HIGHWAY) AND NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS INDEED UNSTEADY IN CURVES. IT WONDERED LEFT AND RIGHT AND THE POWER STEERING SEEMED LOOSE OR WAS ADDING POWER STEERING BOOST WHEN NOT NECESSARY. ON 11/01/2010 I BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN ALIGNMENT SHOP THAT BIGHORN TOYOTA USES. THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS NOT WITHIN SPECS. AFTERWARDS AND ON MY WAY HOME (ABOUT 1 1/2 HOUR DRIVE DOWN INTERSTATE AND TWO LANE ROADS) I NOW NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE, WHEN IN LEFT CURVES, CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS SLACK OR LOOSE FEELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WOULD NOT CORRECT ITSELF OR STRAIGHTEN OUT COMING OUT OF THE CURVES. ONE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOOSENESS. RIGHT CORNERS OR CURVES WERE NOT LOOSE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD CORRECT ITSELF ONCE YOU CAME OUT OF THE CURVE. THINKING THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY I WENT TO ANOTHER SHOP (BIG O) IN CRAIG, CO. THEY SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS PERFECT (I HAVE BOTH PRINT OUTS TO CONFIRM). AT THIS TIME I DECIDED (AFTER DISCUSSION WITH THE STORE MANAGER) REPLACE THE TIRES WITH A HIGHER QUALITY TIRE. THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXISTED AFTERWARDS. I CONTACTED A TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAVE NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF THIS DATE. THIS MAY NOT BE A BIG PROBLEM ON DRY ROADS BUT ON ICY, SNOW PACKED OR WET ROADS, THIS CAR WILL BE A HANDFUL TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. JUST RETURNED FROM FIRST ROAD TRIP WITH THIS CAR, FROM OREGON TO COLORADO, AND CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES - 3 OF THE TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL. IN PARTICULAR - WHILE GOING UP HILL -- THE CAR PICKS UP SPEED TO GET OVER THE HILL BUT AFTER REACHING THE TOP, CAR FAILS TO SLOW DOWN AND ONLY AFTER HITTING BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES WOULD THE ACCELERATION STOP AND CAR WOULD BEGIN TO SLOW. IN ONE INSTANCE, I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR OFF THE FREEWAY AND ONTO AN UPHILL ON-RAMP TO GET IT TO SLOW AND BRAKES FINALLY WORKED AT TOP OF HILL. I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE GAS PEDAL PUSHING DOWN ON ITS OWN - WITHOUT MY FOOT APPLYING PRESSURE. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES IT HAPPENED, I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS GOING DOWN HILL AND WAS JUST NATURALLY PICKING UP SPEED. IT WAS ONLY AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN CRUISE CONTROL THAT I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS THE CAR, NOT THE ENVIRONMENT. IN THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE CAR WENT FROM 52 TO 83, THE SECOND INCIDENT - 57 TO 90, THE 3RD INCIDENT - 65 TO 88, THE 4TH INSTANCE 75 TO 84 AND THE SCARIEST INCIDENT OF ALL - THE CAR WENT FROM 70 TO 105 MPH!! I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND THE ONLY THING THAT SLOWED THE CAR DOWN (BESIDES MY CONTINUAL BRAKING) WAS THAT I STARTED CLIMBING A LARGE HILL. ONE OF THE INCIDENTS WAS WITNESSED BY A WYOMING HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER - OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND MANY MILES TO A TOWN - WHO THOUGHTFULLY GAVE ME DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO GET THE CAR TO STOP SAFELY (TURN ON YOUR EMERGENCY FLASHERS, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY EVEN PRESSURE TO BRAKES - PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL GIVES MORE POWER TO BRAKES). THIS CAR HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD NEVER BEEN ON A LONG TRIP BEFORE AND VERY RARELY ON A FREEWAY. I HAD NEVER USED THE CRUISE CONTROL BEFORE AND WILL NOT BE USING IT AGAIN. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADD THE 2003 COROLLA TO THE RECALL AS IT OBVIOUSLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2005 - 2010. TOYOTA WILL BE HEARING FROM ME TOMORROW. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY ENGINE STOPPED THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA, PART OF A 1.3 MILLION CAR 2010 RECALL. LUCKILY, I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT, MY CAR RESTARTED, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT IS BEING FIXED FREE OF CHARGE (ALTHOUGH IT'S TAKING 24-36 HOURS FOR THE PART TO BE RESTOCKED). TOYOTA'S KNOWN ABOUT HIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM SINCE 2005 - I'M FURIOUS THAT IT TOOK THEM 5 YEARS TO ISSUE A RECALL. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR
