I took my car in again for brakes check and like last time, i was told my brakes were fine. I asked…

The car's power steering turns by itself when hitting bumps or rough patches on the road at higher speeds. It takes awareness and effort at times to keep the car straight. Although probably not an immediate safety threat, i imagine if not remedied, it will be a problem that gets worse and not better over time. This is an issue that occurs daily.

Car is wandering and difficult to keep straight on the road at highway speeds. It feels like the wind is blowing it side to side even when there is no wind. This is a persistent problem and makes driving the car tiring and difficult. *tr

I was driving 15 mph in 33 degree temp. I gave it a little gas at the bottom of a small hill and my car went in to a fish tail. I corrected this about 6 times before i could not recover. My car hit the ditch on the passenger side and flipped on it's roof. Prior to the accident my wheel would almost take control of the car between above 30 mph. The car would swerve all over my lane. I thought this was just me, now i…

My 2009 corolla seems to have unsafe steering at highway speeds. It takes a lot of correcting and feels like i have alignment issues in the front or something out of alignment in the rear. It is like the steering is to sensitive and there is absolutely no feedback as to what the car is doing. *tr

When the speed goes over 60-65 mph, the car tends to be pulled to different directions, wobbling and making me feel very unsafe to drive. Even if i'm holding the steering wheel firmly and steadily, the car would be pulled to right side, then next moment to left side. *tr

Ever since i purchased my 2009 toyota corolla i have noticed steering difficult. I read blogs at the time and it seemed from what i read, that this was just a draw back of the car, so i let it go. I feel i need to report it now. The steering feels way to responsive to even the slightest hand movement of the wheel, or bump in the road. Because the suspension on this model is so stiff, a bump in the road can cause my…

We own a 2009 toyota corolla. The steering is terrible. On the hwy it is as though the wind is blowing hard and blowing the car all over the place. Lately we were on the hwy and watched the tree tops no wind but the car was all over the lane. It is difficult to keep it on track i would say over 40mph. I was driving my daughter and grandchildren home one evening and it just veered off the road to the right. My…

Within a few weeks of purchasing my toyota corolla 2009, i noticed at both slow and fast speeds the car drifts to the right or left depending on the inertia of the car. The car does not stay in its lane -- i.e. The car does not drive in a straight line -- without full attention and steady pressure of both hands on the wheel to correct the drift. On highways (from 45mph and especially from 65mph) this problem is…

In my 2009 toyota corolla, the steering is finicky at speeds about 50 miles per hour. It constantly feels like it is being driven in windy conditions and wanders in the lane, requiring constant steering correction. I purchased the car in may 2008; in june i took it to my local dealer because i thought it had alignment problems. They said the 'light' steering feel was normal and no fix was prescribed. I then wrote a…
