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…

I have a 2010 corolla and until i spoke to another owner i thought this problem may have been me. It seems to me the steering is jumpy or hard to hold a line. I can be driving down the road in what i would call a straight line and the car will sometime jump to the right or left but yet i never moved the wheel. My wife actually thought at one time i was swerving on purpose. *tr

Car requires excessive steering corrections at highway speed. I have driven many cars in my life. This brand new 2010 corolla wanders left and right while driving at highway speed. I have to hold the steering wheel very very tight and be continuously correcting the steering. Dealer services says this is normal but there is nothing normal about this! *tr

We have a new 2010 toyota corolla with about 9,000 miles on it. The steering on this car is "strange" making it unsafe-- it is difficult to keep it in a steady/smooth line when driving on the highway at 55 mph or greater -- you need to make constant minute corrective movements to the steering wheel. At times it seems to drift on it's own left and right - like it's being blown around by a gust of wind - but the wind…

Difficulty controlling and steering car at 60 mph going across bridge. There was some wind but not strong enough in my opinion that should have cause me to be so aware of the drifting. *tr

Took delivery of my new 2010 toyota corolla on january 13th, 2010. I am experiencing steering problems where the car drifts/shifts at highway speeds without any input. Feels like a stiff wind pushing the car from one side to another. *tr

I bought my 2010 corollas on jan 13th. When i drove it home for the first time, i found it was very hard to keep it in the center of the lane at highway speed. I had to keep adjusting my steering wheel. I took it back to the dealer two days later. They made some adjust and it is not that bad now, but the problem still exists. I think this problem is more serious than the gas pedal problem, because this affect…

We purchased a 2010 toyota corolla. The car will drift or veer to left and sometimes to the right. The steering appears unstable. We have returned the car twice to be fixed and were advised it is ok. My husband describes the problem similar to driving an old car with bad tie rods or where the ball joints were shot. He will not allow myself of my daughter who we bought the car for, to drive it. We are fearful of it…

My 2010 toyota corolla drifted from lane while driving. I was able to get back into the correct lane, but it drifted back out of lane and i had to reduce speed to properly correct the situation and avoid side-swiping a vehicle. This has happened a couple of times as i drive to work on a major highway. *tr

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…

2010 corolla is unstable at speed over approximately 55 mph. The car wanders dangerously to left and right, being particularly vulnerable to any cross wind or turbulence from other vehicles. It is not possible to use any vehicle controls (such as turning on the defroster) while driving at highway speeds without having the car veer suddenly off course. The car feels as if it is missing a suspension component in the…

Toyota corolla 2010 steering issue. Car does feel like it could go out of control. Feels like a strong wind is blowing against the car. Mostly at a higher speed. Like when driving on the highway. I don't have vin number because i traded the car in. My wife always felt like she was getting car sick. *tr

From the day i purchase the car (a 2010 toyota corolla) and drove it off the lot with only 16 miles. I noticed that the car would constantly over correct and attempt to drift outside its lane at high speeds (above 45 mph). At first, i thought it was simply a new car breaking in and my brother's car (a 2008 mazda 3) show the same behaviors but quickly went away the more he drove (around the 500 mile mark). However,…

I bought a new 2010 toyota corolla s and realized that i can't control the steering at speeds over 50mph. This problem was noted, to my salesman, the same day i purchased the car. My whole family, including myself, made a living selling cars. I've driven in many different cars and know when something isn't right. The corolla's steering is dangerous and unsafe to be on the road. The dealership service manager even…

My new 2010 toyota corolla s has an issue with staying on the highway. My car seems to pull to the left when i get up to 55-60mph. I brought the car back to the dealer with this complaint and they did say one tire was a little low. They have put air in but it did not change. *tr

Steering "wanders" slightly most of the time, responding to road surface, wind, passing trucks and other vehicles. It feels like i do not have complete control over where my car goes -- that there is no direct control over the steering by the steering wheel. This requires 100% attention to the car's direction because, if i look away even for a moment, the car drifts on its own. This is a dangerous situation. I owned…
