STEERING
COROLLA WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH ABOUT 100 MILES. THE DAY AFTER THE PURCHASE I DROVE IT ABOUT 1500 MILES TO FLORIDA. ALONG THE WAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I SOON OBSERVED THAT IT WAS NOTICEABLY DRIFTING SIDE TO SIDE WITHIN THE TRAVEL LANE. NO AMOUNT OF ATTENTION COULD PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE, A SECOND DRIVER BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION AS THEY TOO NOTICED IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS SIMPLY A "LIGHT" CAR BUT THOUGHT WE SHOULD BRING IT TO A DEALER TO BE CHECKED OUT. WE HAD A TOYOTA DEALER LOOK IT OVER TO MAKE SURE NOTHING WAS LOOSE OR WRONG. NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES BUT PRIMARILY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

STEERING

AFTER TEN DAYS HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE STEERING FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 711. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,000. UPDATED 03/24/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. UPDATED 06/30/10.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA, ONCE DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME ITS A FAULTY ENGINE COMPUTER AND THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IN MANY CARS AND REPLACED MY ENGINE COMPUTER. I MARGINALLY ESCAPED FROM BEING HIT BY CARS COMING BEHIND ME. I DON'T WANT THIS ISSUE TO CAUSE ANY ACCIDENTS IN THE FUTURE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL DRIVING OLD VERSION OF ENGINE COMPUTER AND IF POSSIBLE TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THE OLD VERSION OF ENGINE COMPUTER WITH NEW VERSION. *TR

STEERING
WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY, MY STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY SENSITIVE AND STARTS JERKING AND MY CAR STARTS VEERING TO ONE SIDE. I HAVE TO GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHTLY JUST TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING IN A HURRICANE BUT THE TREES OUTSIDE ARE BARELY MOVING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP, IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF IMPERFECTION IN THE ROADWAY, SUCH AS A SMALL POTHOLE, WHEN HITTING THE POTHOLE AND BRAKING AT THE SAME TIME, IT CAUSES THE FRONT END TO GET LOOSE AND THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE SOMETIMES SEVERELY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN STARTING TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY, AND IT IS COLD OUT, WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE REAR BRAKES MAKE VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISES LIKE SOMETHING IS BROKEN INSIDE THE BRAKE ASSEMBLIES ON BOTH REAR WHEELS. I FEEL AS IF THE BRAKES ARE FAILING, AND THIS COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO SOMETHING WORSE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

STEERING
THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE TOYOTA COROLLA 2009. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT(ON AN INTERSTATE) IT FEELS AS IF WE ARE SLIDING ON BLACK ICE AND HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I HAVE NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL IN GENERAL HAS BECOME VERY LOOSE AND DOESN'T DRIVE AS TIGHTLY AS IT ONCE DID A FEW MONTHS AGO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE COMPUTER (BRAIN) TO THE CAR WENT OUT. JUST ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AND I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN I STOPPED, THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY TURNED ITSELF OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. IT HAD THE SOUNDS OF A DEAD BATTERY TRYING TO START BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. SO I WAS STUCK AT THE LIGHT UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME TO GET ME. UPON TAKING IT TO A REPAIR SHOP, I FOUND OUT THAT THE COMPUTER HAD GONE OUT. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY HAD A NOTICE OUT TO ALL MECHANICS SO IF A CAR CAME INTO THERE SHOP, THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I THEN CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO TOLD ME THAT I WAS 8,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THAT THEY HAD SET TO REPLACE THIS DEFECT. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET THEM TO REPLACE IT AND THEY FLAT OUT DENIED ME. I KNOW MY CAR WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I FELT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY JUST TOLD ME THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. MY REASONING FOR IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT WHEN THAT PART GOES OUT, THE CAR WILL JUST TURN OFF AND YOU ARE STUCK. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE AT A LIGHT. WHAT IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY? I WOULD OF BEEN STRUCK FROM BEHIND FROM THE OTHER CARS THAT WERE BEHIND ME GOING 65MPH. AFTER ARGUING WITH TOYOTA AND GETTING NOWHERE, I ENDED UP PAYING OVER $700.00 TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED SO I COULD ONCE AGAIN USE MY CAR TO GET TO WORK. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD OF BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, SINCE THEY KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM AND THEY SHOULD OF BEEN WILLING TO REPLACE THE PART NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES WERE ON THE VEHICLE. *TR
