STEERING
DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING AND STEERING CAR AT 60 MPH GOING ACROSS BRIDGE. THERE WAS SOME WIND BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH IN MY OPINION THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSE ME TO BE SO AWARE OF THE DRIFTING. *TR

STEERING
EPS STEERING IS VERY HARD TO KEEP CAR IN LANE WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE BEST DESCRIPTION I CAN GIVE IS THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE CONSTANT MICRO ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL A PULL LIKE A ALIGNMENT ISSUE BUT RATHER THE CAR STEERING SEEMS TO WANT TO DRIFT LEFT OR RIGHT ALL THE TIME. I HAVE A 2007 RAV4 WITH EPS AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

STEERING
SOON AFTER PURCHASING, I NOTICED THE CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT. STEERING WAS NOT AS GOOD AS MY OLD CAR. BACKING UP FROM MY GARAGE IS WOBBLY INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT BACK. AFTER SEEING OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY 2010 COROLLA PURCHASED OCT. 2, 2009. *TR

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT. THE CONTACT THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES TO REMEDY THE FAILURE AND THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED SINCE THE STEERING FAILURE COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

STEERING
I ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE CURRENTLY-PUBLICIZED PROBLEM WITH MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA DRIFTING AT HIGH SPEEDS! IT FEELS LIKE A GUST OF WIND IS HITTING THE CAR FROM TIME TO TIME. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING AT OR ABOVE 55-60 MPH (BASICALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS). *TR

STEERING
MY 2010 COROLLA HAS HAD A STEERING PROBLEM SINCE ITS PURCHASE. IN 50 YEARS OF DRIVING IN OVER 25 NEW VEHICLES, IT IS THE WORST. IT WILL NOT TRACK PROPERLY AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. IT WANDERS RANDOMLY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. NOT ALIGNMENT AND NOT WIND CAUSED. YOU MUST MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS EVERY SECOND OR TWO TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE. PASSING OTHER VEHICLES AT HIGHWAY SPEED IS RISKY. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED ON I-95 THE DAY I TOOK THE CAR HOME. MY WIFE DID NOT NOTICE IT WHEN SHE DRIVES UNDER 50MPH; BUT IS VERY EVIDENT AT 65-75MPH. IT IS VERY TIRING TO DRIVE THE CAR SINCE YOU MUST REMAIN TOTALLY FOCUSED WITH A FIRM GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL TIMES SINCE YOU MUST RESPOND TO THE CAR'S RANDOM VEERS TO ONE OR THE OTHER SIDE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. I CAN SEE WHERE AN ACCIDENT WOULD BE VERY POSSIBLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING OR TRAVELING WITH OTHER VEHICLES TO YOUR LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MUST BE CORRECTED, ALONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. I HAD PLANNED TO COMPLAIN TO MY TOYOTA DEALER IN ORANGEBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA WHEN I TOOK MY COROLLA IN FOR THE ACCELERATOR RECALL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS BEFORE AND, UNTIL THIS MONTH, WAS PLANNING TO BUY A 2011 TOYOTA TRUCK. THE STEERING PROBLEM IS REAL AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED. *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY PULL BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE LANE. IT WILL ONLY DO IT FOR SOME TIME AND THEN STOP. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO STEER THE CAR AND I MUST SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT STOPS. SOMETIMES I CAN BARELY MAINTAIN THE SPEED LIMIT ON FREEWAYS WHEN THIS OCCURS. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ONE DAY. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT CAN BE SHOWN TO A MECHANIC. I HAVE EVEN HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC BUT HE DIDN'T ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS RECENTLY BEEN BROUGHT TO LIGHT FOR TOYOTA CARS AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF HOW FAR THEY SHOULD LOOK BACK FOR THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS FOR 4 YEARS NOW. THANKFULLY I DO NOT DRIVE FREEWAYS THAT OFTEN BUT IT IS ALWAYS SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF MIND WHEN I DO. *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE ON GSP (NJ) AT 65MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WAS NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY AND THE CAR WAS SWINGING BETWEEN LANES. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SLOWED DOWN AND THAN MOVED INTO THE RIGHT MOST LANE. ON THAT DAY IT WAS LITTLE WINDY AND I NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE CAUSE BUT I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER CARS AND NEVER FACED THIS ISSUE. *TR

STEERING
I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MONDAY 2/15/2010, FROM DICK MILHAM TOYOTA IN EASTEN P.A. THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING, AT SPEEDS OVER 50MPH YOU REALLY NEED TWO HANDS TO STEER THE CAR. I TRAVEL OVER 192 MILES A DAY AND IM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS. I AM GOING TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK, I HOPE YOU ARE GOING TO INVESTIGATE THESE PROBLEMS AND FORCE TOYOTA TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

STEERING
ONGOING STEERING ISSUE WITH 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA PURCHASED AUGUST 1, 2009, FROM EASTERN SHORE TOYOTA AS A NEW CAR. AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS (60 - 75 MPH) CAR BEHAVED AS IF IN A STRONG WIND...STEERING CONSTANTLY NEEDING CORRECTION. ON JANUARY 6 I TOOK THE CAR FOR SCHEDULED SERVICE AND MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP. HE KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND SAID, "IT'S THE TIRES." HE SAID THAT AT HIGH SPEEDS THOSE TIRES, "JUST RUN THE ROADS." HE SAID ALL I COULD DO IS WAIT UNTIL THE TIRES WEAR OUT AND CHANGE BRANDS. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A LOT TO ASK OF A PERSON WHO HAD RECENTLY PAID VIRTUALLY FULL PRICE FOR A NEW CAR WITH A SENSE OF DRIVER-CONTROL NOTICEABLY DIMINISHED ON THE INTERSTATE. IT MAY BE IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT I SAVED THE WORK ORDER AND IT MAKES NOTE OF MY RAISING THE STEERING ISSUE. I CALLED THE CAR SALESMAN AND VOICED MY OBJECTION TO "JUST PUT UP WITH IT." HE CORRECTLY POINTED OUT THAT THE TIRES WERE UNDER GOODYEAR'S WARRANTY, NOT TOYOTA'S. I TOOK THE COROLLA TO THE LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALER AND THEY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES ON MY CAR...MILEAGE NOW UP TO NEAR 5000. ON MY FIRST DRIVE TEST, PROBLEM AT HIGH SPEED WAS DEFINITELY IMPROVED. I CALLED MY SALEPERSON AND TOLD HIM SO. HOWEVER, ON A 300-MILE ROUND TRIP YESTERDAY, THE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH REDUCED AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, WAS NOW VERY APPARENT AT CITY DRIVING SPEEDS. I FINISHED THE TRIP RESOLVED TO WRITE THE DEALERSHIP TODAY WHICH I WILL DO AS SOON AS I FINISH THIS. COINCIDENTALLY, IN THIS MORNING'S PAPER IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE VERY PROBLEM...LOSING CONTROL OF THE STEERING. *TR

STEERING
AFTER READING ABOUT THE TOYOTA COROLLA STEERING PROBLEMS, I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT OF MY OWN. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM OF FEELING LIKE WIND WHIPPING MY CAR AROUND ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST DAILY SINCE I LEASED MY NEW 2010 COROLLA IN NOVEMBER 2009. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY THE LOS ANGELES AREA ROADS ARE PAVED BUT AFTER READING OTHER OWNERS' SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE NEWS, I AM SURE THAT THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING ME TO FEEL LIKE I HAVE DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING MY CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
AS NOTED ON THE NEWS ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEMS ON THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. I ALSO OWN A 2010 COROLLA AND EVEN BEFORE THE NEWS I HAD PROBLEMS KEEPING THE CAR STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THE CONDITION GETS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND THE PROBLEM INCREASES WHEN THERE IS LESS GAS IN THE TANK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO CHECK/FIX THE ALIGNMENT AND IT SEEMS TO HELP A LITTLE BIT BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
APPROACHING RED LIGHT, CAR IN NEUTRAL, RIGHT FOOT DEPRESSING BRAKE, LEFT RESTING ON CLUTCH, AND CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN ENGINE REVVED (WATCHED TACHOMETER NEEDLE JUMP). AS ENGINE REVVED I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT RIGHT FOOT WAS NOT NEAR GAS PEDAL (WASN'T). THIS WAS SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE ENGINE REVVING WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS NOT ENGAGED. APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT. I AM NOT AN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER. GAS PEDAL WILL BE MODIFIED BY DEALER WITHIN THE WEEK, BUT BOTH TIMES MY FEET WERE NOT NEAR THE PEDAL WHEN THE RPM'S INCREASED. *TR

STEERING
STEERING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (OVER 55 MPH) IS DIFFICULT. FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS TRYING TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE DRIVE LANE. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME (I HAVE A 3 HR ROUND TRIP COMMUTE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS) AND HAS SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT W/DEALERSHIP, BUT IN A PHONE CONVERSATION WAS TOLD BY SERVICE REP THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM, NOT THE CAR AND THAT AN APPOINTMENT WAS NOT NECESSARY. REP (FORGOT NAME) STATED THAT PUTTING SAND BAGS IN TRUNK WOULD SOLVE PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES AND HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED BUT THE SITUATION HAS NOT CHANGED. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA IN JUNE. AFTER HAVING IT FOR A WEEK I QUESTIONED ABOUT THE REASON AS TO WHY THE STEERING WAS SO HARD TO HANDLE IN THE RAIN AND WHEN THE WIND BLEW. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF TIRES I HAD ON MY CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING AND WITHOUT OUT ME STEERING THE CAR IT WENT ON IT'S ON TO THE RIGHT. THIS CAR TAKES TWO HANDS TIGHTLY HOLDING ONTO STEERING WHEEL TO DRIVE. IT IS THE SCARIEST CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. *TR

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL AND KEEP THE VEHICLE DRIVING FORWARD. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT AND STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. SHE ALSO STATED THAT RECENTLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. SHE NOTICED THAT WHENEVER SHE ADDED FUEL TO THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE DIDN'T REGISTER THAT IT WAS FULL. THE COMPUTER CHIP FAILED TO REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT WAS IN THE VEHICLE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT LOCATE A FAILURE AND SHE SHOULD AVOID ADDING FUEL TO IT'S CAPACITY. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT IF THEY TAKE APART THE GAS SENDING UNIT THEY ARE NOT SURE IT THAT WOULD DETERMINE THE FAILURE; THEREFORE, NO PARTS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,200.
