Steering too sensitive. Most notable at freeway speeds. Wont track correctly. Wants to drift either left or right. Correction only makes the car drift the other way. Must be very attentive or car could drift into other lane. Condition since new. Dealership has verified the problem but cant seem to fix it. Been to dealership service twice for this condition. *tr

When i took my vehicle to the dealer for it's 3 month checkup, i informed them that i was having issues with the brakes and the steering. I told them that the car feels like it is out of alignment because when driving over 45mph the car pulls to one side and it is difficult to keep in a single lane on the highway. When i described the braking issues with the car, they told me that "the brakes are different than what…

At this point, i wouldn't necessarily classify it as a defect, but as i have read with regards to other owners, my 2010 toyota corolla le (with automatic transmission) also exhibits "light" steering at highway speeds. Drivers really have to pay constant close attention whenever driving above 45 mph in order to avoid moving or "wandering" out of your lane with the slightest movement of the steering wheel. In other…

My new 2010 toyota corolla has a problem when driven on the interstate. The car wobbles and i am constantly steering to keep it going straight. It doesn't seem stable--as if it's being buffeted by high winds even though it's a calm day. I am afraid it is going to veer off the road and therefore i have tried to avoid driving it on the interstate. I have spoken with the dealership and was informed that all the…

I purchased a 201 toyota corolla "s" and immediately after driving it off the lot, noticed that the steering wanders. I feel like this is a safety problem, because the car constantly wants to wander into the other lane of traffic. There has not been an accident yet, but i really feel that there will be! *tr

I rented a brand new (only 350 miles) 2010 toyota corolla from hertz at the orlando airport on october 19, 2009 and turned it back into a hertz location in jacksonville florida on october 23, 2009. I had trouble getting the car to "track". It was very hard to keep going straight and felt like there was a strong crosswind (which there wasn't). I talked with my wife about this on that trip, but regretfully, i did not…

I bought a 2010 toyota corolla s on oct. 22, 2009. At bitterroot motors in missoula, montana. The day after i bought the car i drove it to ovando, montana, north of missoula, on a tryout road trip. I noticed that it was flighty on the road and seemed to waver without reason (no wind, no semi trucks, wind shear, rain, etc). Being a new car to me, i passed it off as the nature of a lighter and smaller vehicle than…

2010 toyota corolla s drifts to the left and right at speeds above 40 mph making car require constant adjustment to stay in lane. Longer trips are exhausting as the car has to be actively steered at all times to keep from wandering out of the lane. Steering feels loose and wheel needs to be turned more than 1/6 of a turn to correct vehicle. *tr

I find it very difficult to track the vehicle in a straight line on an open road in windy or uneven road conditions. There is very little or no feedback through the steering wheel. The vehicle demands your full attention under these conditions making it very tiring and in my opinion somewhat unsafe at speeds greater than 50mph. Seems to be ok or better at low speeds such as in residential or city environments. These…

As noted on the news about a possible recall about the steering problems on the 2010 toyota corolla. I also own a 2010 corolla and even before the news i had problems keeping the car straight on the road. The condition gets worse at higher speeds and the problem increases when there is less gas in the tank. I took the car to the dealer to check/fix the alignment and it seems to help a little bit but the problem is…

The electric power steering on my new 2010 toyota corolla makes the car very difficult, stressful and unsafe to drive. At highway speeds above 65 mph any slight hand movement on the steering wheel causes the car to veer sometimes sharply making it very difficult to keep the car inside your lane. It steers jerky like a go cart and doesn't return to center. I've taken it back three times and toyota said that i'd have…
