STEERING
WE PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IN SEP 2009. THE DAY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED THE EPS SYSTEM WAS VERY ERRATIC, CAUSING CONSTANT CORRECTIONS. THIS IS MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THEREFORE ON THE "TEST" DRIVE, WE DIDN'T REALIZE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA WITH THE PROBLEM AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE IS WITHIN DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS." THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TOYOTA DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED A VEHICLE WITH A STEERING SYSTEM THAT IS UNSTABLE, DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE. FOR A COMPANY THAT ADVERTISES SAFETY AND RELIABILITY, I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIVE TO SO MANY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE COROLLA'S ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. EVEN THE TECHNICIANS AGREE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY INJURED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA AND HAD THE PEDAL STICKING TWICE IN COLD WEATHER . WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER SHIP I WAS ADVISED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND I ASK IF THEY HAD ANY PROBLEMS . I WAS TOLD NO IN FACT THEY DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TAKING DOWN MY COMPLAINT. I AGAIN RETURNED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AFTER THE STORY BROKE ON THE NEWS. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT ONLY EFFECTS SOME CAMRY AND NOT THE COROLLA. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS GONE OUT OF ITS WAY TO HIDE THIS FROM THE PUBLIC. FURTHER THE LAST TIME THE PEDAL STUCK I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY GOING 50 MPH. AND HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUMP THE PEDAL UNTIL IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. AGAIN PLEASE NOT THAT THIS INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO THEM BEFORE IT WAS MADE PUBLIC IN THE NEWS.AFTER I BECAME AWARE OF THE NEWS . I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THIS TIME THEY HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA LOOK INTO HOW MANY PEOPLE BROUGHT THIS TO TOYOTA ATTENTION ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM , HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED OR HAVE BEEN HURT BECAUSE TOYOTA TRIED TO HIDE THE PROBLEM. AND WHAT AM I GOING TO DO OR WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I NEED TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE , I HOPE I OR ANY OTHER PERSON ADD TO THE ACCIDENT COUNT... *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PURCHASE NEW 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA DEC. 18 2009. UNDER ALL BRAKING CONDITIONS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. YOU TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DOES NOT ENGAGE. THERE IS WAY TO MUCH BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL BEFORE YOU GET ANY BRAKING RESPONSE. THERE IS 1/2 INCH PEDAL MOVEMENT BEFORE YOU GET ANY BRAKE RESPONSE AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME YOU BRAKE. RETURN TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR REPAIR 12/21/09. NO REPAIR WAS DONE. THEY SAID THAT WAS THE WAY THE NEW BRAKING SYSTEM WORKED. JUST GET USE TO IT. *TR

STEERING
MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA IS UNSAFE, BECAUSE OF ITS STEERING MECHANISM. THE CAR STABILITY IS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BECAUSE IT DRIVES ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVING ON BLACK ICE ,CONSTANTLY, TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE OVER STEER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYTIME DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HEAR THEM SAY THAT THE CAR IS WITHIN SPEC. *TR

DRIVING A RENTAL 2010 COROLLA IN TUCSON. AS I WAS BRAKING TO A STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED AHEAD. FORTUNATELY I WAS FAR ENOUGH FROM THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME TO STAND HARD ON THE BRAKE AND BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. SCARY!!. FLOOR MATS WERE PROPERLY SECURED AND NO WHERE NEAR THE PEDAL AREA. NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. TOYOTA HAS A PROBLEM WAY BEYOND FLOOR MATS. *TR

STEERING
BOUGHT 2010 COROLLA ON 11/21/09 WITH 6 MILES. UPON DRIVING HOME, I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT CENTERED, BUT SLIGHTLY CROOKED TO THE LEFT. WHEN WE HOP INTO THE FWY AND DOING 50MPH+, THE VEHICLE STARTS TO DRIFT LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAD TO MAKE SMALL CORRECTIONS BY STEERING IT LEFT AND RIGHT TO MAKE THE CAR DRIVES STRAIGHT. MY GIRLFRIEND DROVE THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY AND UPON MAKING A LEFT CURVE ON THE FREEWAY DOING 60MPH, THE STEERING WAS NOT FULLY RESPONSIVE. SHE VEERED ONE LANE TO THE RIGHT INSTEAD! WE WERE LUCKY THAT THE FWY WAS EMPTY AT THAT MOMENT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A STEERING PROBLEM THAT MAKES THIS VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, BUT BECAUSE I LIVE IN TEXAS, I AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL TO HAVE A NEWLY DESIGNED INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR TO RELOCATE THE BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PORT. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I GO TO COLORADO THIS WINTER AS PLANNED, I WILL HAVE BRAKE FAILURE. WHY DOES THE RECALL NOT EXTEND TO ALL 2010 TOYOTA COROLLAS??? *TR
