    In the past 2 1/2 years i rented two toyota corolla's from hertz car rental. They both had severe steering problems. They would veer one way, say right for example. A small steering wheel turn to the left did nothing and the car kept going right. Then another small turn to the left and the car would veer sharply to the left. In the first case, in california, when the car veered left i had an accident with another…

    I bought a 2007 toyota corolla two years ago and have noticed that sometimes at high speed it feels as if i'm loosing control of the car and that the steering feels loose. At the beginning, i didn't pay much attention, but this had created me to feel insecure when i'm driving fast. I'm currently afraid to drive over 55mph because i have noticed that over that speed it feels as if the car is going thru a lot of wind.…

    I currently lease a 2007 toyota corolla which commenced on february 23, 2007. I have experienced an issue with the steering since day one. It is as follows: depending on the level of road unevenness, the car drifts left or right and requires nearly constant correction and then, over-correction just to maintain a straightforward course. The car does not weave erratically all over the road, but it is just simply a…
