I have seen an article in the paper regarding toyota recalling 185,000 vehicles in japan and europe due to a power steering glitch. I have spoken to toyota in california about my car and my concern but they just…

My 2010 toyota corolla steering is difficult to control. The car wanders around the road. I thought it was the alignment. Despite an alignment service, the steering is still very difficult and exhausting. The wandering, corrective steering measures that have to be taken and constant vigilance when driving are exhausting. It is a difficult car to drive, particularly in heavy traffic with narrow roads and at the…

I bought this vehicle a little over a week ago, and have had immense problems steering it. Once i hit 35-40 miles per hour, it becomes incredibly stiff and difficult to steer. Highway miles are the most difficult, and it takes an incredible amount of effort to keep it straight. I have had incredible pain in both shoulders since buying this car, a problem i have never had before driving any other car. For whatever…

Bought a new 2010 toyota corolla s. Drove it on the highway. The steering is horrible. The car will veer to the right, then with a small correct, will pull to the left. You get it going straight then it will pull one way or the other all by itself. Kind of like it is really windy, but today was a calm day. This is going to cause an accident. From what i have been reading, a lot of other people have complained. What…

When driving my 2010 toyota corolla on the highway, the steering will suddenly drift from side to side giving the sensation that i am hydroplaning or that my tires are bald, even though the roads are completely dry. Luckily, nothing has happened yet, but it is very disconcerting and very scary. I could easily see something happening if i were to overcompensate and steer to the other direction. This would be easy to…

Just purchased a 2010 toyota corolla s on july 23, 2010. The steering did not seem right. At one week i went back to the dealer and they gave it an alignment, which did not really improve the steering. It is horrible on the highway and my arms hurt from trying to keep it in the lane. Thought it was just me until i started to investigate, and found out all of the other complaints about the same problem. It make you…
