VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2003 TOYOTA COROLLA LE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 4 DOOR. FIRST TIME INCIDENT. WESTBOUND HIGHWAY 401 NEAR WOODSTOCK ONTARIO WITH CRUISE CONTROL @ 100 KMH IN RIGHT LANE AND SLIGHTLY ACCELERATED TO MIDDLE LANE TO AVOID MERGING INCOMING TRAFFIC FROM ROADSIDE GAS STATION. ACCELERATOR PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITHOUT DRIVER ASSISTANCE. STRONG BRAKING DID NOT STOP CAR. STOMPING ON ACCELERATOR DID NOT STOP CAR. TURNING OFF CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT STOP CAR. FASTEST SPEED WAS 150KMH @ 7500 RPM. SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND WHEN SPEED AT 120KMH @ 4000 RPM, THE BRAKES STARTED WORKING. SLOWED AND PULLED OFF ONTO SHOULDER AND PARKED THE CAR. TWO MINUTES LATER, STILL IN PARK, IDLED AT 1900 RPM. ABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK. OVER THE PHONE, DAN FROM COMPETITION TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BOX OR THROTTLE CABLE HAD BECOME GUMMED UP AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLEANED AS PART OF THE TOYOTA 60,000KM MAINTENANCE. I HAVE NOT USED TOYOTA DEALER TO SERVICE THE CAR DUE TO AFFORDABILITY. I DO HAVE A REGULAR MECHANIC WHO SERVICES THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT INTO COMPETITION TOYOTA AND PROBLEM WAS A DIRTY THROTTLE PLATE WHICH WAS CLEANED AT A COST OF $70. DEALER ALSO DID A RECALL REPAIR ON A WINDOW AND SAID THERE WERE TOO MANY MATS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED. I TOLD DAN THAT DRIVER MATS WERE NOT THE CAUSE AND IN THE PRESENCE OF TWO TOYOTA EMPLOYEES, I SHOWED HIM PHOTOS THAT I TOOK OF THE DASHBOARD JUST AFTER I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. I ASKED IF THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, HE SAID YES, AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR SINCE. REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO TRANSPORT CANADA. *TR

STEERING
CAR DOES WANDER WHILE HOLDING STEERING WHEEL STEADY. IT CAN GO EITHER TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW ON NOVEMBER 2 2009. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM TILL A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT CARRIED THE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
PURCHASED A NEW 2010 COROLLA 4-DOOR SEDAN S; IMMEDIATELY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING WAS NOTICED UPON FIRST LONG DRIVE. WHEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKES WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. STEERING THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN THE FREEWAY WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT CONSTANT CORRECTIONS, I CALL IT NERVOUS STEERING, WHICH AFTER MORE THAN 50 MILES BECAUSE VERY STRESSFUL AND TIRING. PURCHASE DATE 8-22-09. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA EARLY SEPT 09. THE BRAKES WERE EXAMINED AND AFTER CERTAIN CORRECTIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BETTER BUT NOT PERFECT. AS FOR THE STEERING..THE TECHNICIAN SAYS IT'S WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS...WHAT EVERY THAT MEANS. THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM; AFTER REVIEWING THE VEHICLE BROCHURE REGARDING THE STEERING SYSTEM IT READS "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) HELPS GIVES COROLLA STEERING RESPONSE THAT'S EFFORTLESSLY ACCURATE" HOWEVER NOTHING COULD MORE FROM THE TRUTH. IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE AFTER 7000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER...THAT WHEN STEERING THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY...THE CAR WILL LITERALLY LEAVE THE LANE YOUR DRIVING IN WHICH REQUIRES STEERING CORRECTION TO KEEP IT IN THE DRIVING LANE YOU'RE TRAVELING. THE BROCHURE FURTHER READS THAT "EPS ALSO ELIMINATES HYDRAULIC-ASSIST COMPONENTS THAT CAN REDUCE FUEL ECONOMY" HOWEVER I WOULD SAY AT WHAT COST...IF THIS NEW SYSTEM RENDERS THE STEERING PROCESS A VERY NERVOUS AND TIRING EXPERIENCE FOR THE DRIVER. A FATIGUED DRIVER IS AN UNSAFE DRIVER...I CREDIT THE FAULT WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM "EPS" AS A POTENTIAL DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT'S MY ASSESSMENT AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE NOW 6 MONTHS...THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO REVISIT THIS "EPS" SYSTEM AND CONSIDER RETURNING TO THE FORMER HYDRAULIC-ASSIST COMPONENTS...IT MAY MORE COSTLY FOR THEM TO BUILD...BUT AT LEAST IT WORKED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAD A REPUTATION FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY HOWEVER IT'S BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST PURCHASE EVER IMAGINED. *TR

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

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA IS SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, MAYBE 20MPH I WAS BRAKING AND REALIZED THAT I WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE TOYOTA TUNDRA IN FRONT OF ME. AND IT FRIGHTENED ME BECAUSE I ALMOST HIT THE TRUCK. I HAD TO PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT WAS GRABBING AND IT MADE AN AWFUL NOISE AND I STOPPED JUST SHY OF HITTING THE TUNDRA. I MADE A CALL TO TOYOTA LAST YEAR BUT I WASN'T ONE OF THE STATES THAT THEY CONSIDERED TO GET AMBIENT LOW TEMPERATURES. WELL WE GOT INTO THE LOW 20'S AND TEENS MANY OF NIGHTS AND LAST NIGHT WAS IN THE 30'S WITH FROST ON THE CAR. HOW COLD DOES IT HAVE TO BE? I HAVE HAD MY WASHER FLUID FREEZE UP A FEW TIMES. *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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
IT'S A 2007 COROLLA. I DON'T USUALLY DRIVE MUCH BEFORE AND I DO DRIVE A LOT SINCE I TRANSFER TO COLLEGE AND HAVE TO GO ON FWY. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, ONCE I TRIED TO STOP ON THE ROAD BECAUSE RIGHT LIGHT, I LEFT THE GAS PEDAL AND WAIT TO DECELERATE AND THEN STEP ON THE BREAK,BUT IT DIDN'T, I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEFORE ME AND IT'S REALLY HARD TO STOP I HAD TO STEP IT REALLY HARD. FROM THAN TIME, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM FOR IT. I CANT TELL EXACTLY HOW OFTEN IT HAPPEN, BUT SOMEHOW I KNOW WHEN IT GOES UP TO 60MPH, AND IT WILL DECELERATE. WHEN IT DROPS TO AROUND 45, IT STOPS TO DROP. AND WHEN I GO ON THE FWY, WHEN IT HITS CERTAIN SPEED LIKE 75, SOME TIMES IT WON'T SLOW DOWN EVEN I LEAVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AFTER I KNEW THE TYT PETAL PROBLEM AND THE STEERING PROBLEM, I WONDER IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED. HOWEVER, THIS MODEL IS NOT ON THE LIST, I STILL WORRIED ABOUT IT. BECAUSE TYT MIGHT HIDE THE PROBLEM, OR THEY DID FIND IT NOW AND THEY WILL FIND IT LATER. THIS WEEK I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET IN CA I-5 FWY AND I DOUBT THAT PART OF THE REASON IS THAT THE "RARE" ACCELERATE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO EVIDENCE TO SHOW THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. I HOPE THAT THE US WILL INVESTIGATE ALL MODEL FROM 2000 TO 2010 TO ENSURE PEOPLE SAFE. *TR

STEERING, TIRES
2009 TOYOTA COROLLA S. SPECIAL ORDERED AND PURCHASED IN 2008. WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP QUICKLY AFTER PURCHASE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE STRAIGHT-LINE DRIVEABLITY OF THE CAR. THE PROBLEM WAS MORE NOTICEABLE ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR HAS TO BE CONSTANTLY CORRECTED LEFT AND RIGHT JUST TO BE KEPT STRAIGHT ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD. MY WIFE AND I BOTH ARE SCARED OF THIS CAR. I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THIS CAR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. IT'S WORSE WHEN THERE'S A CROSS WIND ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME WE DRIVE THIS CAR. WE WORK ON OPPOSITE SHIFTS AT THE SAME PLACE, IN THE NEXT COUNTY. SO SHE DRIVES IT BACK AND FORTH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY AND I DO THE SAME THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. IT'S ALMOST ALL ON THE INTERSTATE. IT'S VERY STRESSFUL GETTING THIS CAR DOWN THE ROAD. SO, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COMPARED IT TO ANOTHER COROLLA ON THEIR LOT AND THEY DROVE THE SAME. THEY FIXED NOTHING. GAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY IT WOULD DRIVE LIKE IT DID. SO WE FEEL HELPLESS AND WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO KEEP DRIVING IT AND PAYING FOR IT. MY WIFE DRIVES OUR KIDS IN THIS COROLLA AND IT WORRIES ME EVERYTIME THAT SHE'S GOING TO CRASH IT. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS SINCE THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT'S CURRENTLY GOT A LITTLE OVER 21K MILES ON IT AND IT STILL DRIVES LIKE IT DID WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. *TR

I HAVE THE COROLLA STEERING ISSUE ON MY 1994 COROLLA EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE, AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO HOLD DOWN ON MY STEERING WHEEL AT AN ANGLE, AND IT STILL FLOATS NEAR OTHER LANES. I HAVE THE ALIGNMENT WORKED ON EVERY FEW MONTHS, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT IT. IT GOES RIGHT BACK TO THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR MOST OF THE YEARS I HAVE HAD THE CAR. *TR
