VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO 6000RPM ON MY 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA CE WHEN I WAS STOPPED. MY FOOT WAS OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND NO FLOOR MATS WERE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR. I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER BUT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA CORPORATE BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED OTHER THEN TO SAY THAT TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. *TR

STEERING I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA I PURCHASED NEW 9/18/2008. WHEN I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAYS IT IS ALWAYS DRIFTING AS THE ROAD TAKES IT THIS WAY OR THAT WAY OF AIR TAKES THE CAR WITH IT EVEN INTO THE OTHER LANE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE OVER 45 MPH. I TOOK BACK TO DEALER THE FIRST TIME THEY REALIGNED THE FRONT END HELPED. AFTER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. AFTER ALL I WAS THE "ONLY ONE WHO EVER COMPLAINED". *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA LATE IN 2008. I USED TO USE IT A LOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN GOING TO CHAMPAIGN FROM CHICAGO. I NOTICED THAT I HAD TO FIGHT A LOT WITH THE CAR AS IT FELT REALLY LOOSE. IT WAS NEVER A COMFORTABLE TRIP AS I HAD TO ALWAYS HOLD THE WHEEL SUPER TIGHT OR ELSE THE CAR MAY JUMP TO ANOTHER LANE OR INTO THE DITCH. I NEVER REALLY LOOKED INTO IT BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST CAR (I HAD AN SUV PREVIOUS TO IT) AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS EITHER JUST ME OR IT WAS NORMAL THAT IT HAPPENED. BUT JUST TODAY I SAW AN ARTICLE ON AN INVESTIGATION BEING DONE ON THE COROLLA'S POWER STEERING AND IT DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH ME AND MY CAR. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS ISSUE IS NOT OVERLOOKED AS MANY DRIVERS AS MYSELF MAY NOT HAVE REALIZED THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE STEERING WAS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. TO SUMMARIZE, WHEN I AM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I FEEL AS I HAVE TO FIGHT WITH MY CAR OR ELSE I MAY LOSE CONTROL OF IT AND STEER OFF THE LANE. THIS NEVER HAPPENS IN THE CITY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT WAS AN ISSUE FROM THE START AND THEREFORE NOT AN ISSUE CAUSED BY WEAR ON THE TIRES OR THE SUCH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I NEVER DO LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL WITH MY COROLLA DUE TO THAT ISSUE AND IF IT CAN BE FIXED IT WILL BE A GREAT RELIEF. BY THE WAY, I PUT A DATE FROM AROUND THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE IT DID NOT GIVE ME AN OPTION TO PUT ANY OTHER TYPE OF ANSWER, BUT THIS ISSUE HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES WHEN ON A HIGHWAY. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
FOR CAR BRAKING SYSTEM: AS YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, YOU HAVE TO PRESS IT REALLY HARD FOR IT TO START TO STOP THE CAR,IF YOU STOP THE CAR, AND RELEASE THE BREAK PEDAL THE CAR GOES SO FAST THAT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ( BUT NOBODY IS PRESSING NO PEDAL AT ALL). THE BRAKING ON A SHALLOW ROAD MAKES THE CAR SHAKE ESPECIALLY THE BRAKING PEDALS AND IT MAKES NOISE, AND AT THE SAME TIME IT IS NEEDED TO PUT SOME EXTRA FORCE AND PUSH THE BRAKES REALLY HARD FOR IT TO WORK, THE ROAD DOES NOT NEED TO BE THAT BAD FOR IT TO HAPPEN, AT TIMES IT HAPPENS ON A VERY SMALL DEPRESSION. *TR

STEERING
MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS STEERING ISSUES, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS CAR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP TRACKING STRAIGHT WITHOUT CONSTANT CORRECTION TO THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WANTS TO "GENTLY" WANDER FROM SIDE TO SIDE ALL THE TIME. THIS POSES A DANGER TO ANYONE DRIVING THIS CAR AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I WAS A TOYOTA SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A PROBLEM WITH A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING
THANK YOU NHTSA ! HELLO, I HAVE HAD EXTREME ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY 2009 COROLLA. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING ON MINE AND MANY OTHER 2009 COROLLA'S. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS! THE COROLLA SWERVES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT BY ITS SELF AND IS VERY VERY SCARY AT TIMES. A GOOD EXAMPLE WOULD BE TO IMAGINE YOUR CAR BEING HIT BY EXTREME WINDS FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN INVOLVED IN TWO ACCIDENTS IN THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE AVONDALE TOYOTA DEALER IN ARIZONA TWICE AND THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME THE CAR WAS WITH IN SPECS. THE REGIONAL MANAGER WAS INFORMED OF MY PROBLEM YET HE WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE MY CAR TO SEE THE PROBLEM. AS IF I WAS CRAZY OR SOMETHING, I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO TOYOTA FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS FEELS LIKE A SLAP IN THE FACE. I AM VERY EDUCATED IN MECHANICS OF AUTOMOBILES AND HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS. THIS IS NOT DRIVER ERROR! I ALSO HAVE TO SAY, I HAVE BEEN MORE UPSET OVER THE DENIAL OF THIS PROBLEM EVEN MORE THAN THE PROBLEM ITS SELF. IF TOYOTA WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME AND ACTUALLY DRIVEN MY CAR THEY PROBABLY COULD HAVE SAVED THEM A TON OF MONEY ON ALL THE RECALLS NOW. GOOD LESSON TO ALL BUSINESS'S. LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. I AM VERY THANKFUL THIS DESIGN FLAW HAS GOTTEN SOME MEDIA ATTENTION. MAYBE NOW THEY WILL ACTUALLY LOOK INTO THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR TENDS TO VEER EITHER WAY LEFT OR RIGHT AND HAS TO BE CONSTANTLY ADJUSTED TO STAY STRAIGHT CENTER IN THE LANE. IT'S BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD AT FIRST, BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL MORE COMPLAINTS OCCURRED. NOW, I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, STEERING
THE CAR IS HARD TO CONTROL THE POWER STEERING AND I LUCKILY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET CONTROL OF THE CAR WITHOUT A ACCIDENT BUT I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO BEING SLAMMED IN THE SIDE OF 18 WHEELERS, OTHER CARS AND CONCRETE BARRIERS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP. MY DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. AS A CONSUMER AND A PARENT OF SMALL KIDS THIS IS NOT RIGHT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OR TAKE THE CARS BACK AND FIX THEM AND QUIT TELLING US THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND DRIFTED FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN THE TRAVEL LANE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WESTBOUND AND WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE LIGHT WAS RED. I SLOWED DOWN ON MY APPROACH TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP CAR FOR THE RED LIGHT. THE CAR SLOWED BUT WOULD NOT STOP. THE LIGHT WAS STILL RED AND IN THE INTERSECTION WAS A MAN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN TO TRAVEL EASTBOUND IN HIS SUV. HE SAW ME COMING SPED UP HIS VEHICLE (ALSO GIVING ME THE FINGER) I SWERVED TO MY RIGHT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAD DRIVEN THROUGH THE RED LIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AGAIN AND BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE SPEED LIMIT. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER TOYOTA MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THEIR FLOOR MATS. I STOPPED THE CAR AND CHECKED MY FLOOR MAT AND IT WAS NOT IN THE WAY AT ALL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA AT TOYOTA CITY, MAMARONECK, NY ON 8/31/09. I FELT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING MECHANISM, A STRANGE FEELING IN THE BRAKES, HEARD A NOISE IN STEERING WHEEL, AND A STRANGE FEELING IN THE WAY THE CAR RODE IMMEDIATELY WHEN TURNING AND BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/5/09. I DID NOT BRING IT BACK RIGHT AWAY DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, AND I FELT MAYBE I NEEDED TO GET USED TO THE CAR. I HAD A 2003 COROLLA BEFORE, AND THIS CAR FELT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN ITS RIDE. NOT AS TIGHT A RIDE. ON 10/5/09 THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP ALL DAY AND THEY FOUND IT HAD WARPED ROTORS AND NEEDED NEW BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR'S BRAKES MAYBE HAD GOTTEN WET SITTING IN THE RAIN, WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I FELT THAT WAS VERY ODD ON A BRAND NEW CAR, AND WITH ITS PREDELIVERY INSPECTING THIS WAS MISSED. THEY COVERED THE REPAIR. I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN AND BROUGHT IT BACK ON 10/19/09. THERE WAS STILL THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS TIME THEY BALANCED THE TIRES. AGAIN, NOT CLEAR WHY THEY DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE. I STILL HEARD A NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FELT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A TIGHT DRIVING FEEL. THEY TOLD ME TO LIVE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM. IT WAS HOW THE POWER ASSIST SYSTEM WORKED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. I HAVE FELT THE BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND WELL, AND PULSATE ON ENGAGEMENT, AND I FEEL THE CAR STILL MOVES FORWARD, WHEN TRYING TO STOP. ON 1/23/10 I HIT A DEER. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE A LOT OF DEER AND FOR 18 YEARS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP AND NEVER HIT ONE. NOT SURE WHAT WENT WRONG HERE. ON 2/5/10, GREEN TREE TOYOTA IN DANBURY, CT TEST DROVE MY CAR FOR THE BRAKES. SAID THEY WERE FINE. I FEEL I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE LIKE I DID WITH OTHER TOYOTAS AND FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND STEERING. *TR

STEERING
CAR REQUIRES EXCESSIVE STEERING CORRECTIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS IN MY LIFE. THIS BRAND NEW 2010 COROLLA WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL VERY VERY TIGHT AND BE CONTINUOUSLY CORRECTING THE STEERING. DEALER SERVICES SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT THERE IS NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT THIS! *TR
