STEERING
THE ODI STARTED AN INVESTIGATION IN FEB. ABOUT THE STEERING ON '09 AND '10 COROLLAS. AT THAT TIME THERE WERE 168 COMPLAINTS AND 6 CRASHES. NOW THERE ARE OVER 500 COMPLAINTS AND 34 CRASHES INVOLVING THESE VEHICLES, AND NO UPDATES. SOMEBODY PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THIS AND LET US UNFORTUNATE TOYOTA OWNERS KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! THE MATRIX WAS ALSO LISTED IN THE INVESTIGATION, BUT THERE ARE NO STEERING COMPLAINTS FOR THOSE MODEL YEARS LISTED. I OWN A 2010 COROLLA AND HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT, BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES,AND CALLED ODI AND GOT NO HELP FROM ANYONE. THESE CARS HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH DRIFTING ALL OVER THE ROAD (AS 99% OF THE COMPLAINTS SAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER) AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HOPE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS KEEP CHECKING UP ON THEM. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR LISTENING!!!! *TR
