ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED IN TRAFFIC THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. IN LOS ANGELES TRAFFIC THIS CAN BE DEADLY. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED TWICE DUE TO THE INABILITY TO EVEN HAVE THE CAR ROLL TO A SAFE STOP. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A KNOWN ECM FAILURE AND MANY OWNER FORUMS HAVE SAID THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN AND COMMON FAILURE. *TR

STEERING
MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA KEEPS PULLING LEFT - IT IS PARTICULARLY OBVIOUS (AND MORE DIFFICULT TO HANDLE)WHEN DRIVING 55MPH+ ON THE HIGHWAY. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP, REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK ON IT LAST WEEK. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE ALIGNMENT OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, THEY ROTATED MY TWO FRONT TIRES - WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. MY CAR KEEPS PULLING LEFT WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS (55 MPH+) ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HASN'T CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT IT DOES MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. CAR IS HARD TO KEEP IN STRAIGHT LINE. POWER STEERING OVER CORRECTS WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT RIGHT OR LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WHILE TRAVELING ON I 40 IN A ONE LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONE NEAR WINSTON SALEM N.C. ON OCTOBER 16TH 2009, I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT . I THEN HAD TO CORRECT BY TURNING BACK TO THE LEFT. WHEN I TURNED LEFT THE STEERING OVER CORRECTED CAUSING ME TO STRIKE A CONSTRUCTION CONE WITH MY LEFT MIRROR. THE GLASS IN THE MIRROR BROKE AND I REPLACED IT AT MY EXPENSE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS KEEPING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 40 - 60 MILES PER HOUR EVER SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. I TRAVEL THOUSANDS OF MILES EVERY YEAR DRIVING SEVERAL MAKES OF VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH. AFTER HEARING OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THIS IS EITHER A DESIGN PROBLEM OR AN EQUIPMENT FAILURE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA IN ORDER TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING, AIR BAGS
MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A PROBLEM WHEN DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR WOBBLES AND I AM CONSTANTLY STEERING TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT. IT DOESN'T SEEM STABLE--AS IF IT'S BEING BUFFETED BY HIGH WINDS EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CALM DAY. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO VEER OFF THE ROAD AND THEREFORE I HAVE TRIED TO AVOID DRIVING IT ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT ALL THE COROLLAS ARE LIKE THAT AND IT WILL ONLY BE FIXED IF THERE IS A RECALL. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP THIS CAR IF THIS IS NOT FIXED BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAG RECALL HAS EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO BE REPAIRED.

STEERING
WE HAVE PURCHASED NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S MODEL IN NOVEMBER 2009. WE NOTICED WIGGLING AND UNSTABLE FEEL IN STEERING WHEEL. WE THOUGHT SINCE WE HAD OTHER LUXURY CAR BEFORE, WE ARE JUST NOT USE TO DRIVING A CHEAPER CAR. BUT AS TIMES GO BY, IT IS GOING OUT OF ITS DRIVING LANE UNCONTROLLABLY. WE REALLY HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR IT'S 3 MONTH CHECKUP, I INFORMED THEM THAT I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING. I TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BECAUSE WHEN DRIVING OVER 45MPH THE CAR PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN A SINGLE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I DESCRIBED THE BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE CAR, THEY TOLD ME THAT "THE BRAKES ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I HAVE BEEN USED TO WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO ENGAGE UNTIL THE PEDAL IS AT THE FLOOR BOARD. WHEN THEY WERE READY TO TURN THE CAR BACK OVER TO ME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT ON THE CAR AND THAT THEY ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES AND BLED THE LINES. I NOTICED THAT WHEN THEY "TEST DROVE" THE CAR THEY ONLY WENT 3 MILES. THAT DISTANCE, IN THE PART OF TOWN WHERE THE DEALER IS LOCATED DOESN'T EVEN GET THE CAR UP TO 40 MPH. THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT OF THE CAR DRIFTING IS STILL THERE. NOW THE BRAKES HOP AND CHATTER WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT SPEEDS OF APPX 45 MPH, AND WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR TENDS TO CREEP FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE FULLY ENGAGED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE SOLELY ON THE TOYOTA REPUTATION, AND NOW I AM SORRY THAT I DID. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2,2009 AND AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL/REPAIR. I SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH MY FIRST INSTINCT AND BOUGHT THE DODGE INSTEAD OF THE TOYOTA. *TR

STEERING
I RECENTLY LEASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. MY PROBLEM IS OVER THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 12 YEARS NOW, AND THIS VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FROM 40MPH AND ABOVE. WHEN I SAY UNSTABLE I MEAN THE STEERING IS TOO LIGHT FOR FEEL, AND THE CAR HAS A HORRIBLE TENDENCY TO SWAY INTO ANOTHER LANE. EVERY HIGHWAY TRIP IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ADVENTURE. I READ THAT THIS MAY BE BECAUSE OF ELECTRIC STEERING INSTALLED ON RECENT MODEL COROLLAS...I AM AT A LOSS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE DEALER IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE STEERING, AND I REALLY HAVE A STRONG FEELING IT IS NOT THE TIRES OR BRAKES THAT TOYOTA IS CLAIMING, THAT AFFECTS THE STEERING. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK THERE WAY AROUND THIS ISSUE. I NEED HELP AS I HAVE JUST GOT INTO MY LEASE, OVERALL I STILL THINK ITS A GOOD CAR BUT NOT WITH THIS STEERING, IT TRULY IS SCARY TO DRIVE ON ANY HIGHWAY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OUR 2009 COROLLA WAS TAKEN TO MELODY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL - ACCELERATOR PEDAL REINFORCEMENT BAR INSTALLATION ON 2-8-10. FOUR DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR, MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE HEARD A WHINE NOISE FROM ENGINE. AFTER THE CAR WAS BEING EXAMINED, SERVICE ADVISOR VERIFIED THIS IS A NORMAL NOISE - NO REPAIR NEEDED. MY HUSBAND FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE ANNOYING NOISE. HE STATES THAT HE NEVER HEARD SUCH A NOISE BEFORE THE RECALL. RIGHT NOW WHENEVER HE STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE NOISE OCCURRED. WE WOULD BE HAPPY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE AN INSPECTION IN OUR AREA. *TR

STEERING
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD OUR 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA TO THE LIST OF CARS WITH A STEERING PROBLEM. AT LOW SPEEDS IT SEEMS TO WORK JUST FINE. IT IS WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THAT THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT TAKES CONSTANT EFFORT TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE AND AFTER LANE CHANGES OR SLIGHT CURVES THE CAR WILL OFTEN SHOOT FURTHER IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN AND HAS TO BE CAUGHT AND PULLED BACK. *TR
