Steering
Highway driving is like the wind is blowing hard and blowing the car all over the place. The car wanders around the road and makes steering very difficult and dangerous. *tr

I recently purchase a 2010 corolla. The car does not handle well at highway speeds. When driving the car veers to the left and right with a need to correct the position of the car. Going at highway speeds and having your car sway from side to side is scary and it makes you feel that you can crash at any moment if you don't correct the steering wheel fast enough. *tr

I was driving at approx. 65 mph and due to an off-center feeling and a lax steering wheel, lost control of my vehicle. Under no fault of my own i subsequently crashed into a guard rail, spun across lanes of traffic, and did not have any airbags deploy despite losing my front bumper, front bumper support beam, radiator, fans, headlight, had my door pinned in, hood crushed, and missing my passenger headlight.

The vehicle has developed steering issues at about 39000 miles. I am finding that the steering is oversensitive. You must constantly correct the steering at all speeds, it takes a lot of concentration to drive down the road and stay in your lane. I am concerned that this may also get the attention of law enforcement assuming that one is driving under the influence. I have owned three corollas and have never had this…

We purchased a used certified 2010 corolla about a month ago and soon discovered that it took constant adjustments in steering to keep the car tracking straight on the expressway. I researched online and found many serious complaints about this car's steering as well as a "fix" offered by toyota to replace the power steering computer assembly (t-sb-0140-10). We took the car to the dealer and had the new one put in.…

I now have 47,000 miles on my corolla.today i was driving on the interstate and approached the speed of about 65 mph. I attempted to change to the right lane and the car would not turn. I did not know how to describe it other than to say that i had no control over the steering at all for about one quarter of a mile. I have since seen other complaints and can agree that it was as if the vehicle was hydroplaning and…

Toyota dealer that car was bought from says they do not cover this under my warranty the car has not been wrecked or any other mishaps. I expressed my concern for…

The steering of the automobile becomes difficult at highway speeds. The car continually drifts to the right and left requiring constant adjustment. Free play in the steering wheel is excessive and the wheel is stiff and unresponsive. Windshield wiper speed is not fast enough to clear the windshield in downpours.

Since the day we took ownership of our 2010 toyota corolla, i noticed that driving highway speeds, the steering feels very loose. It takes two hands to constantly try to keep the car to go straight. Now at 44,000 miles the electronic steering (electric motor) whines/whistles intermittently at speeds above 45 mph. This is not an alignment or tire wear issue as it has done this since new. *tr

We purchased a 2010 toyota corolla s4 in feb. Of this year. I loved my toyota & the gas mileage i has getting (major reason we bought the corolla). However, i just took it on a long highway/interstate drive 7 hours there and back. I was shocked at how the vehicle handled at highway speeds. I did not feel safe going over 55 miles an hour. If i did not hold both hands on the wheel constantly, the vehicle felt as if it…

Extremely light steering at speeds over 50 miles per hour. Virtually no road feel. Sensation is similar to "driving" a video game. All control needs to be through vision as there is virtually no feeling of resistance in the steering wheel making the car very difficult to control on curves or when buffeted by winds produced by large trucks passing by. Very tiring to drive. Feels especially unsafe at night as in the…
