STEERING
I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM AUTOWAY TOYOTA IN SAINT PETERSBURG FOR MY WIFE ON 12/06/09. WE WERE STRESSED OUT AFTER HOURS OF HAGGLING AND HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE SALESMEN. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I DROVE THE CAR MORE (WITH ONLY 40 MILES ON IT) I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WAS HARD TO HANDLE. IT WANDERED. I FOUND THAT I HAVE TO KEEP 2 HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND EYES WIDE AS IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. IN AROUND 6 OR 7 DAYS I WAS BACK AT AUTOWAY TRYING FOR HOURS TO GET THEM TO TAKE IT BACK AND SELL ME A CAMRY FOR MORE MONEY!! THE COROLLA HAD ONLY 85 MILES ON IT. BUT THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN TITLED, SO THEY WANTED TO BUY IT BACK FOR A $3000+ LOSS TO US, AND THEN MAKE MONEY ON THE SALE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE (WHICH IS THE WAYS OF THE CAR DEALER). WE ARE STUCK. SO, IF ASKED, I WOULD TESTIFY IN COURT THAT THE STEERING IN THIS CAR COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE ODDS ARE MUCH HIGHER WITH THIS STEERING SYSTEM, THAT SOMEONE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED. A CAR WITH ONLY 40 MILES ON IT AND YOU NOTICE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS? IMAGINE WHEN IT HAS 100,000 MILES AND WORN TIRES! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TOYOTA, UNTIL THIS. IT MAKES ME SICK EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, AND MAKE THE PAYMENT! I TOLD MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND AUTOWAY 2 MONTHS BEFORE TODAYS NEWS ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEM BROKE!! ANY WAY I CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM(ESPECIALLY IF THEY(AUTOWAY/ AND TOYOTA) WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK, I WILL! CALL ME TO TESTIFY..*TR

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WE HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WE BOUGHT IT FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO COMMUTE TO COLLEGE. IT WAS PURCHASED IN MAY 2009 FROM FREEDOM TOYOTA IN HARRISBURG, PA. AFTER QUESTIONING HER ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS PEDAL, SHE SAID THE 'STUCK PEDAL SYNDROME' HAPPENED TO HER ALSO THIS PAST FALL. IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY A DEALER IN ALLENTOWN, PA. SHE THEN ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL 'JERKS OUT OF HER HAND' WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HER MORE THAN ONCE. THE DEALER IN ALLENTOWN WAS TOLD OF THIS, ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT SHE HAD A PROBLEM WITH HER DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NOT ROLLING DOWN WHEN THE SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENED TO HER ONCE. THIS DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE 2 ABOVE MENTIONED OTHER PROBLEMS. I TOLD HER SHE IS TO DOCUMENT ANY FUTURE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I AM ESTIMATING THE INCIDENT DATES. SHE SAID THEY TOOK PLACE IN THE FALL SEMESTER. I DO NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AS TO WHAT HER SPEED WAS AT THE TIME THE STEERING WHEEL HAD A HABIT OF JERKING OUT OF HER HAND. I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS HIGHWAY COMMUTING INVOLVED ALONG WITH NON HIGHWAY DRIVING INVOLVED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON FEBRUARY 15, 2010, I DROVE MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR A SHORT ERRAND NEAR MY HOME. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL, I GENTLY PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE THEN PRESSED GENTLY ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO RETURN TO NORMAL SPEED, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED WITHOUT MY TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. I PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND STOPPED THE CAR. THEN THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. ALL THIS OCCURRED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF LEAVING MY HOME. AT NO TIME DID I GO MORE THAN 25MPH. THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 250 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. NO, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE RECALL. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN CA. THEIR RESPONSE, OOPS I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A LETTER BUT ADMITTED NONE WAS SENT. THEY WILL CONTACT MY DEALER. 2 OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE, IF MY HARD BRAKING DID NOT WORK THE CAR WOULD HAVE KEPT ACCELERATING, THE SURGE WAS POWERFUL. ALSO, THE ENGINE DID NOT REV, THE CAR JUST SEEMED TO GET A SIGNAL TO ACCELERATE TO A CERTAIN SPEED. YES, THE EXPERIENCE WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. BEFORE, I WAS WILLING TO GIVE TOYOTA THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, BUT IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW MY GAS PEDAL WOULD GET STUCK AFTER 240 DRIVEN MILES. PLEASE, DO YOUR JOB. TOYOTA SHOULD PERMANENTLY TAKE BACK ANY CARE EXPERIENCING THIS ACCELERATION. THESE CARS SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY OFF THE ROAD. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA THAT HAS RIGHT AT 4000 MILES ON IT. AT ANY HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH, THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. AT FIRST I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR IS SO SMALL THAT THE WIND WAS MOVING IT AROUND ON THE ROAD. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR OVER A MONTH NOW, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I AM ON THE INTERSTATE. YOU HAVE TO WORK TO GET THE CAR TO STAY CENTERED IN YOUR LANE, OR LOOK AS THOUGH YOU ARE A DRUNK DRIVER SWERVING FROM CENTER LINE TO SHOULDER. THIS ISSUE HAS MADE ME THINK TWICE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR. I ALSO JUST READ THAT TOYOTA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I BOUGHT THIS NEW CAR FOR RELIABILITY AND NOW I AM CONCERNED WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD EVEN BEING PUTTING IT ON THE ROAD AND PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE AT RISK. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS WHETHER IT BE AT THE HANDS OF TOYOTA MOTOR CORP. OR THE NHTSA. EITHER RECALL THE COROLLAS PARTS OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK THAT I PAID FOR A RELIABLE CAR THAT IN FACT IS NOT RELIABLE AFTER ALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, HE NOTICETHAT THE METRIC POWER STEERING DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO LUNGE FORWARD AND THE CONTACT HAD TO CORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL SO IT WOULD MOVE OUT OF THE LANE. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND IN THAT WAY. HE HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO DATE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 120.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO CONTROL. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HE HAD TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH IN ORDER FOR IT TO CONTINUE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TOW END ALIGNMENT WAS A LITTLE OFF. THE DEALER ALIGNED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

BOUGHT 2010 COROLLA IN SEPT 2009, NEW FROM FACTORY. NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMED VERY LOOSE AND UNRESPONSIVE FROM THE DAY WE TOOK POSSESSION. TOLD SALESPERSON WHO SAID IT WAS 'NORMAL'. NEWS MEDIA NOW REPORTS STEERING ISSUES WITH 2010 COROLLAS - FILING COMPLAINT TO REGISTER WITH ODI. NO CRASH OCCURRED, BUT STEERING SHOULD NOT BE THAT LOOSE ON A NEW CAR.

STEERING, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR MY AWAY-FROM-HOME COLLEGE-STUDENT DAUGHTER. WE WERE AWARE OF THE FLOORMAT PROBLEM WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND TOOK DELIVERY ON OCTOBER 28, 2009. THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE BECAME KNOWN IN JANUARY, 2010. THE POWER STEERING ISSUE JUST BECAME PUBLIC THIS WEEK. I DROVE THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER TAKING DELIVERY TO CHECK IT OUT FOR ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND TO BREAK IT IN. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY UNUSUAL BEHAVIORS FOR ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN DURING THIS BREAK-IN PERIOD. HOWEVER, I DID NOTICE WHEN I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DELIVERING THE CAR TO MY DAUGHTER THAT THE ELECTRICALLY-ASSISTED POWER STEERING HAD AN UNUSUAL VAGUENESS TO IT. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING BUFFETED BY HIGH WIND OR TURBULENCE FROM FOLLOWING A TRACTOR-TRAILER TOO CLOSELY, EVEN THOUGH THE WIND WAS CALM AND THERE WERE NO TRUCKS WITHIN ONE MILE OF ME. AS I MADE VERY MINOR COURSE CORRECTIONS AS THE ROAD CURVED OR TO CHANGE LANES, IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING WAS BEING OVER-BOOSTED, WHICH CAUSED A BIGGER PATH CORRECTION THAN INTENDED OR EXPECTED. THEN I GOT A SIMILAR REACTION IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT THE OVER-CORRECTION. I THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT AS IF IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT WHEELS WITH A ROPE. THE CAR HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES; I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SETS OF THESE TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES IN THE PAST, AND DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE A PROBLEM. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH ELECTRICALLY-BOOSTED POWER STEERING AND AND I DON'T RECALL SUCH BEHAVIOR. INDEED, I HAVE A CLASS B CDL TO DRIVE MOTORCOACHES AND THE OLDER ONES WITH OVER 1/2 MILLION MILES ON THEM HAVE MORE DIRECT STEERING. THIS SITUATION HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT; I JUST WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HAVE OFFERED MY DAUGHTER ANOTHER CAR TO DRIVE, BUT SHE INSISTS ON DRIVING THE COROLLA. *TR

STEERING
WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE A STRONG CROSSWIND IS BLOWING THE CAR CAUSING ME TO CORRECT THE FEELING OF THE WIND BLOWING THE CAR. IT CAN ALSO BE COMPARED TO THE TIRES BEING CAUGHT IN A GROOVE IN THE ROAD. WHEN I CORRECT THE FEELING OF BEING PUSHED OR PULLED TO ONE SIDE THE VEHICLE OVER CORRECTS ITSELF CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR PUT A VERY FIRM TWO HAND GRIP ON THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. AFTER I TRY TO KEEP THE WHEEL STRAIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS SIDE TO SIDE MOTION FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS ON ITS OWN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I HAVE TOYOTA COROLLA 2010, BOUGHT IN AUGUST 2009. I HAD A BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR EXISTED FROM THE BEGINNING. MY PROBLEM WITH BRAKE WAS FIRST LIKE A SUSPICIOUS CASE AND INITIALLY UNBELIEVABLE FOR ME.THAT'S WHY I WAS DOUBT AT FIRST! I NEVER BELIEVED 2010 COROLLA (I AM OWNER) COULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SO I PUT OFF WITH THAT FOR A WHILE. HOWEVER, I REALIZED THE FACT AFTER TRAVELING TO CALIFORNIA TO VISIT MY SISTER AND I RENTED A CAR (VOLKSWAGEN) OVER THERE. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, I FOUND OUT HOW SHARP THE BRAKE OF THE CAR WAS. AT THAT TIME I FELT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHARP AND PROPERLY-WORKING BRAKE AND FAILED BRAKE. OTHER UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COROLLA IS THAT WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN UNEVEN ROADS THE BRAKE WAS GOING DOWN COMPLETELY WITH GENERATION OF SUCH ODD SOUNDS LIKE CRACKING OF TWO PIECES TOGETHER! THEREFORE I REALIZED SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE BEING WEAK AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. ALSO, IN TRI-MONTHLY SCHEDULES FOR CHECKING THE CAR, I TOLD THEM I DO NOT LIKE THE BRAKE, IT IS NOT GOOD, NOT SHARP, SLOW TO ACTION, BUT THEY TOLD ME WE CHECKED EVERYTHING AND ALL IS FINE! NOTHING DONE TO FIX THE BRAKE FAILURE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE NO ANY RECORDS OF THESE CONVERSATIONS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, JUST I HAVE A RECEIPT THAT SHOWS I BROUGHT THE CAR FOR CHECKING AND THEY CHECKED IT. AFTER THAT, I CONTINUE TO DRIVING, BUT ONCE AGAIN, I REALIZED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MY NEXT APPOINTMENT FOR BRINGING THE CAR FOR CHECKING WAS FEBRUARY 7TH ON SUNDAY. I WAS GOING TO TELL THEM I CAN NOT STAND WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I AM CONCERN ABOUT THIS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I GOT AN ACCIDENT ON FEB 2TH. I WAS IN SLOW LINE, MY SPEED WAS SLOW (NOT MORE THAN 25M/H), HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR AHEAD OF ME STOPPED, I COULD NOT STOPPED CORRESPONDINGLY DUE TO PRE-EXISTING BRAKE FAILURE. I HIT THE REAR OF THE CAR. FORTUNATELY THE POLICE OFFICERS MENTIONED THE ISSUE OF "BRAKE FAILURE" IN THEIR REPORT. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON NOVEMBER 27, 2009, I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FROM LAKE CITY, FL TOYOTA. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVED DOWN MORE LIGHT AIR WAS IN THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I ALSO HAVE HEARD A RUBBING SOUND WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. THAT HAS HAPPENED TWICE ALSO. MY FIRST PAYMENT IS NEXT MONTH AND I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS. I AM TAKING MY CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN LAKE CITY, FL IN THE MORNING. *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS VERY "LOOSE" - IN OTHER WORDS, THE CAR TENDS TO WANDER WITHIN A LANE WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. IT TAKES MORE THAN NORMAL VIGILANCE TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT. IT SEEMS TO BE BUFFETED BY THE WIND (SUCH AS WHEN PASSING A LARGE TRUCK) MORE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I FEEL THE NECESSITY TO KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING ON THE ROAD. OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE HAD TRACK IN A STRAIGHT LINE EVEN WITH MY HANDS OFF OF THE STEERING WHEEL - NOT SO WITH THE COROLLA. THE CAR REQUIRES A LOT OF ATTENTION TO DRIVE AND CAN BE TIRING TO DRIVE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. *TR

AT SPEED IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CONTROL MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S. IT "DRIFTS" FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE. IF I DO NOT USE BOTH HANDS, THE CAR DRIFTS FROM THE LANE MARKER, AND AT TIMES INTO THE NEXT LANE (TO MY LEFT). I HAVE TO OVERCOMPENSATE AND CORRECT TO THE RIGHT SO THAT I DO NOT STRIKE SOMEONE. THE STEERING FEELS VERY LOOSE. I FIRST NOTICED THIS CHARACTERISTIC A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE (APPROXIMATELY 12-20-09. THEIR IS NOT ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, BUT RATHER IT IS A PERSISTENT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE STEERING. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE SEEMS TO WANDER RANDOMLY LEFT OR RIGHT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITHOUT FREQUENT ADJUSTMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN. IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING ON A WINDY DAY AND THE CAR IS BEING TOSSED AROUND. ACTUALLY, ANY WIND AT ALL ONLY MAKES THE MATTER MUCH WORSE. ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE REAR END OF THE CAR HAS A SLIGHT FISHTAILING. THIS IS ALL MOST NOTICEABLE AT 45 MPH AND ABOVE. LOCAL SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT LOOK AT IT FOR THREE WEEKS. I WILL NOT LET MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONLY SIX WEEKS AND WOULD SURELY GIVE IT BACK IF I COULD. DISAPPOINTED THAT I DID NOT GET A RESPONSE TO MY EMAILS SENT TO TOYOTA. *TR
