Car wonders while driving on a straight road or highway, usually about 40 mph or faster, constant feeling of drifting (feels like there is a strong crosswind blowing the car around.) tire pressure is proper as stated on door jam, as well makes no difference in steering if tire pressure is lower or higher. *tr

Original filing: odi#10317281 on dec 12, 2009 as ... "at speeds over 50 mph the steering wheel seems to "lock" into a position and resists being moved to either side until excessive force is applied, several pounds of force i would say, then the steering wheel jumps to a new position and the car takes off to that side, requiring another hard pull on the steering wheel to try to go back toward center. I had to fight…

2010 toyota corolla "s" purchased by my wife in july 2009, with automatic transmission . She drives the car only locally on suburban streets, at speeds less than 45 mph, and has placed less than 3000 miles on the car in 7 months. Recently we took the car for a 'road trip' of about [redacted], with me driving. This car does not "steer" properly on the highway, if "proper" means that it follows the drivers input and…

At speed it is difficult to steer and control my 2010 toyota corolla s. It "drifts" from side-to-side. If i do not use both hands, the car drifts from the lane marker, and at times into the next lane (to my left). I have to overcompensate and correct to the right so that i do not strike someone. The steering feels very loose. I first noticed this characteristic a few weeks after purchase (approximately 12-20-09.…

My daughter was driving her new corolla (2010) home from college in december 2009. When she got home she was extremely upset and told me that she had encountered a steering problem with the car on her way home -- she couldn't keep the car centered on the highway as the car kept moving to the left and right. About two weeks later (december 2009) i was driving the car at about 65 mph down the highway and could not…

I purchased a new 2010 toyota corolla from autoway toyota in saint petersburg for my wife on 12/06/09. We were stressed out after hours of haggling and high pressure from the salesmen. The next day when i drove the car more (with only 40 miles on it) i noticed that the steering was hard to handle. It wandered. I found that i have to keep 2 hands on the wheel and eyes wide as it is unpredictable. In around 6 or 7…

The steering on my 2010 toyota corolla is very "loose" - in other words, the car tends to wander within a lane while going straight. It takes more than normal vigilance to keep the car going straight. It seems to be buffeted by the wind (such as when passing a large truck) more than any other vehicle i have ever owned. I feel the necessity to keep both hands on the wheel to keep the car from drifting on the road.…

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…

Steering and gas throttle problem. Sometimes having difficulties steering the vehicle straight and it feels like you 're not in control with the wheel. Even sometimes at lower speed. Regarding gas throttle there are times that the gas pedal is not responding while you are steeping the gas pedal. It's like driving on a neutral gear. We have not reported the steering problem but we have reported the gas pedal issue…

Bought new corolla 2010 for my wife about three months ago. I thought right from the first drive that its steering wheel was very sensitive, that is, even small motions of the steering wheel appear to get amplified to relatively larger directional changes on the moving car. However, my wife did not think so. Typically, however, she drives it at slow speeds, like, at most 40 mph, as she avoids highways. We have never…

Soon after purchasing, i noticed the car pulling to the right. Steering was not as good as my old car. Backing up from my garage is wobbly instead of straight back. After seeing others with similar complaints, i thought i should report my experience with my 2010 corolla purchased oct. 2, 2009. *tr

I bought corolla 2010 in oct 2009. I had the problem of it wandering and hard to keep the car in the lane. I took it to dealership and they told me it was alignment problem. After it was there for a day it started wandering in the other direction. Then they told me it could be tire pressure and took it back to the dealership. I still have the same problem and it wanders at speed above 50 mph. I saw there have been…

I purchased a 2010 toyota corolla s on 11-7-2009. On the test drive i complained to the salesman that the steering felt strange. It seemed to have a center spot and then any left or right turn would cause a minor pull either direction as if the steering turned on. The salesman said it was the electric steering on all the new cars. That was a slow speed test drive. After the purchase i got on the interstate and was…
