VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010 MODEL ACCELERATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHEN I WAS BACKING UP MY CAR. I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO REVERSE AND RELEASE THE BRAKE, AND EVEN BEFORE I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR BACKED UP AS IF I HAVE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REAL HARD. I HAD TO BRAKE REAL HARD TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. SINCE I WAS IN A BIG EMPTY PARKING LOT NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. *TR

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. ONE WEEK AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT STEERING FAILURES. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD CONSTANTLY MOVE BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT DRIVER INTENT.

THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN THAT MANNER. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 982 AND THE CURRENT WAS 6,220. UPDATED 05/06/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS VERY UNSTABLE. ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

STEERING
I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ISSUES REPORTED ON POWER STEERING IN 2010 COROLLAS, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WE HAVE NOTICED "WANDERING" WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY QUITE OFTEN. IT WILL WANDER ONE DIRECTION AND THEN WHEN YOU STRAIGHTEN IT BACK OUT, IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. IT WILL GO BOTH DIRECTIONS, SO IT'S NOT ALIGNMENT. I DECIDED TO PAY VERY CAREFUL ATTENTION LAST TIME I DROVE IT. WHILE GOING HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60MPH, I WAS HEADING STRAIGHT, ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTEN UP A LITTLE AND THEN THE WHEEL ITSELF TURNED ABOUT 1 INCH FROM WHERE I WAS HOLDING IT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN ABOUT A 5 MILE STRETCH AND THEN IT STOPPED. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES WITH IT THE REST OF MY TRIP, WHICH WAS ABOUT 160 MILES. I HAVE CALLED OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN SO THEY COULD INSPECT. I GOT IT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY A FEW MILES WERE PUT ON AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG, SO WE HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE LEASED A 2010 COROLLA IN JULY 2010 IT NOW HAS APPROX. 4200 MILES ON IT I CONTINUE TO HAVE UNEXPLAINED WHAT APPEARS TO BE ELECTRONIC OR COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. ONE INSTANCE WAS I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE, BUT THE ENGINE REVVED WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I THEN DROVE APPROX 6 MILES ROUND TRIP AND RETURNED HOME, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND MY HANDS WERE TOUCHING NOTHING I WAS READING SOMETHING THAT I HAD IN MY HAND AND THE HIGH BEAMS POPPED ON THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, IT WAS FAIRLY LIGHT OUT SO I DON'T IMAGINE THAT IS A FEATURE, IT WAS A BIT OVERCAST AND CLOUDY. THE ODOMETER AT SOME POINT CHANGED FROM DISPLAYING MILES WITH 10THS AND ONLY DISPLAYS FULL NUMBER MILES, I THINK IT WAS AFTER I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE ALARM BUTTON ON THE REMOTE KEY THAT IT CHANGED BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. I ALSO BELIEVE THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS NOT PROPERLY SET UPON DELIVERY, OR THEY PUT IN A SOFTWARE UPGRADE WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE INVOICE SHOWS THEY DID A COMPUTER RESET. THE RECALL FIX HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE, AND I AM NOW UNABLE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, I HAVE BEEN WAITING 3 DAYS SINCE I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE, AND TODAY I CAN NOT GET THROUGH TO TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO HIGH CALL VOLUME. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
IN OCTOBER 2009 I BOUGHT A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM SANSONE ROUTE 1 TOYOTA IN AVENEL NEW JERSEY. FEBRUARY 22 2010 I BROUGHT THE COROLLA TO THIS DEALERSHIP FOR A FIX RELATED TO THE ACCELERATION RECALL. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM ABOUT THE POWER STEERING. AFTER 90 MINUTES THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING.THEY GAVE ME THIS IN WRITING. THEY ALSO WROTE THAT THEY FIXED THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR AND 4 MINUTES LATER I HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION INCREASED BY ITSELF. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 8600 DOLLARS OF REPAIRS . I AM INJURED . IS TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE? MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I TRIED TO REACH TOYOTA S 800 NUMBER BUT SO FAR I HAVE WAITED 3 HOURS AND NOBODY ANSWERS. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
BOUGHT 2010 COROLLA ON 2/27/2010, FELT THE WHEEL IS VERY TIGHT COMPARING TO THE RENTAL 2010 COROLLA I HAD BEFORE PURCHASING THIS COROLLA. SENT IT TO DEALER, THEY FELT THE SAME WAY, AND "SWAP THE POWER STEERING" FOR ME WHILE KEPT IT IN FOR 11 DAYS. I TOOK IT HOME YESTERDAY, BUT FOUND ITS AS TIGHT AS BEFORE. I FEEL ITS LIKE DRIVING A TRUCK, AND POWER STEERING IS BARELY WORKING, ESPECIALLY THE SPEED IS OVER 20MPH. I FEEL I HAVE TO HOLD VERY TIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE HIGHWAY TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND REACH SPEEDS OF OVER 40 MPH IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR IN THE PROPER DRIVING LANE. THE CAR BEGINS TO SWAY AS IF IT IS BEING BUFFETED BY HARD WINDS. OFTEN IT TAKES TWO HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET CONTROL OF THE CAR'S SWAYING MOTION AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT IT CORRECTED, IT SWAYS AGAIN AND CAN EASILY OVERCORRECT ITSELF. *TR

I WAS GOING TO WORK WHEN MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, AND CAR ACCELERATED STRAIGHT INTO A FENCE. BOTH MY MOTHER AND I WERE INJURED. I GOT A TOYOTA SPECIALIST TO LOOK AT THE CAR, IT TOOK THEM THREE AND A HALF WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT TO SEND THAT SPECIALIST TO LOOK AT THE CAR. HE THEN SAID THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE.

STEERING
MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA STILL VEERS FROM LANE TO LANE EVEN AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED. THE DEALER TOOK THE CAR IN AND "REALIGNED" THE WHEELS AND SAID IF THERE IS A RECALL, YOU CAN SHOW THAT WE AT LEAST LOOKED AT YOUR CAR. THE CAR STILL GOES FROM LANE TO LANE AND NEVER TRACKS STRAIGHT. IF MY ATTENTION GOES TO SEE IF I CAN PASS A CAR ETC, I AM HEADED TO THE OTHER LANE AND HAVE TO CORRECT RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED-WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR-PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL!!-THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY WITH TOYOTA'S ELECTRONIC STEERING AND I BELIEVE, AS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, HAVE PUT AND UNSAFE CAR ON THE ROAD. *TR
