Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla le. While sitting idle in the parking position, the vehicle momentarily lunged forward. While traveling at various speeds as low as 50 mph, the vehicle would veer to the right. Also, the keyless remote, which also acts as a vehicle locator, would only operate intermittently. Often, the vehicle locator alarm would go off on without driver input. The dealer advised changing…

My 2010 toyota corolla le seems to wander randomly left or right. It is difficult to travel in a straight line without frequent adjustment to the steering column. It feels like i am driving on a windy day and the car is being tossed around. Actually, any wind at all only makes the matter much worse. Almost feels like the rear end of the car has a slight fishtailing. This is all most noticeable at 45 mph and above.…

The steering in my 2010 toyota corolla "s" is hard to control and, i feel unsafe, at highway speeds. The car wanders all over the road, requiring constant correction. However, often minor corrections fail to have any effect, and major corrections result in overcorrection, often making the car leave the lane. Toyota claims this is just the nature of its "electric" steering. I disagree. I no longer drive my car (brand…

We have a new 2010 toyota corolla with about 3,000 miles on it. The steering on this car is "strange" -- it has little to no road feedback and seems to have "dead spots" in it -- you have to give it more effort to get pass these. The result is that it is difficult to keep it in a steady/smooth line when driving on the highway -- you need to make constant corrective movements to the steering wheel. The fact that…

When driving at higher speeds, the steering wheel would constantly move back and forth without driver intent. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they attempted to align the steering wheel but to no avail. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer on two occasions for the same…

When i drove my 2010 corolla from the dealer it had five miles on it. Within one half mile i realized that the car wandered left and right and needed me to steer left and right to keep the car in the center of the road. I knew right away that the problem was the caster adjustment was set so the caster was faced forward. I brought it back and the service mgr said it was designed to have the caster set forward by two…

Purchases new corolla on 12/26/09. Upon driving 18 miles to my home on the freeway, i found it hard to steer the car. It felt like i was driving on ice or hydroplaning. What a scary feeling. I called my salesman, he said bring it in, but i had to get home to care for my 85 yr old mother who has dementia. I have taken it in once. The alignment was off only in the toe and adjusted as were the over-inflated tires of 37…

I own a 2010 toyota corolla and am awaiting the repair for the accelerator issue. This complaint is related to the electric power steering. The car does not want to track in a straight line. You must keep both hands on the wheel and are constantly tweaking the steering wheel to the right and left to keep the vehicle driving straight. The higher the speed, the more problematic the steering is. Gusty winds make you…

2010 toyota corolla le which suddenly veers left or right at high speeds (45mph or greater). While holding the steering wheel perfectly straight, the car will wander left or right causing the driver to correct the steering and pay excessive attention to simply keeping the car in its own lane. This occurs all the time when driving above 45mph. No accident has taken place, but i fear for myself and my family members…

He also stated that when driving and trying to engage the brake pedal he had to apply a lot pressure on the pedal so that it could decrease the speed. The failure was duplicated and the contact advised that the vehicle was…

I have a 2010 corolla it constantly sways while driving at freeway speeds. Sometimes i need to hold onto the steering wheel with both hands to keep it from going into another lane. I switched from driving a small vw beetle and was familiar with strong winds causing these problems but when i looked out the window there was no wind all the trees were still and no flags were waving. There has been a couple of times…

I own a 2010 corolla-it is at the dealer again. Now i have heard there might be a problem. I was taking my car to the dealer before any of this news came out-asking them to check the front end. The cars keeps going in other lanes and has almost caused an accident. But the dealer insist there is nothing wrong with my car. Help at this point i am scared of the car.

When i am driving on the high way, my steering wheel becomes very sensitive and starts jerking and my car starts veering to one side. I have to grab the steering wheel very tightly just to travel in a straight line. I feel like i'm driving in a hurricane but the trees outside are barely moving. *tr

I purchased a 2010 toyota corolla in december. During the test drive i commented that the steering felt funny, but the dealer and i chalked it up to the road conditions. I continue to observe that the car is weaving back and forth especially on the freeway. If i hadn't seen the news story about this issue, i probably would have just assumed that the steering was "touchy" for lack of a better word. Now that i know…

2010 toyota corolla - the car has poor steering. It drifts all over the highway. Requires constant correction like i am driving in heavy winds. I brought it into a toyota dealer and they claim there is nothing wrong with it. They say i need to get used to elctronic assisted steering. I have been driving it for four months now, and i cannot "get used to it".
