Steering on 2010 toyota corolla is vague, resulting in difficulty in maintaining lane when driving over 45 mph. Constant correction is required. Suggest looking at differences between this vehicle and 2009 pontiac vibe (which we also own, and is built on same platform) which does not exhibit same degree of driving difficulty. *tr

We purchased a 2010 toyota corolla in sep 2009. The day after we purchased the vehicle we noticed the eps system was very erratic, causing constant corrections. This is more noticeable at highway speeds, therefore on the "test" drive, we didn't realize the extent of the problem. The car has been taken back to the dealer three times with no resolution. We have contacted toyota with the problem and their response was…

I recentle purchased a new 2010 corolla. Like others, it seemed to drive fine on a test drive. The first time my wife drove it on the highway her arms were tired after 25 miles trying to keep it straight. I've since driven it many times in different conditions and it veers all over the road. I took it back and the dealer said it was within specs, but they tweeked it to the limit. It didn't help. Having to…

Bought 2010 corolla in sept 2009, new from factory. Noticed the steering wheel seemed very loose and unresponsive from the day we took possession. Told salesperson who said it was 'normal'. News media now reports steering issues with 2010 corollas - filing complaint to register with odi. No crash occurred, but steering should not be that loose on a new car. Planning to take into dealer next month for eval. *tr

I've been driving this vehicle now for almost 5 yrs. Since the day i got into it, the thing walks the highway (40 mph+) continually. On a trip over two hours, you start to get exhausted from the continuous weaving back and forth, like a side wind keeps alternating from left to right to left to right ect... Alignments, new tires, ect changes nothing... Something is definitely wrong with either the design of the front…

Purchased a 2010 corolla last august. The steering is "sloppy", "loose" - like there's excessive "play" in the wheel - and needs constant correction, or the car will wander all over the place. A long trip in this vehicle would be an exhausting adventure. And there's only a thousand miles on it. You can add my name to the list of owners who feel this particular model has a steering problem. *tr

Since delivery, my new 2010 corolla has had a steering problem. It veers or wanders to the left or fight randomly and unexpectedly at highway speeds (65-75mph). Not the alignment. Very dangerous if there are other vehicles beside you. Is not due to the wind - occurs on windless days. Have owned 25 cars in 50 years, some toyotas; this is the worst - will not stay straight; both dangerous and fatiguing to drive. Must…

It wanders randomly to the left or right. Not alignment and not wind caused. You must make small corrections every second or two to maintain a straight line. Passing other vehicles at highway speed is risky. This problem was first noticed on…

2010 corolla s with electronic power steering (eps). Vehicle is unstable at freeway speeds. Wanders and drifts. Needs to be "actively driven" in order to track straight. Very tiring on long drives. Does not instill confidence that vehicle could be controlled during an emergency swerve. *tr
