Purchased a 2010 toyota corolla le at the end of december 2009...in addition to the floor mat recall (official recall notice, for same, finally received from toyota corp. In today's mail) & the unintended acceleration problem (already had part retrofitted to gas pedal; even though toyota never sent a recall notice)...an ongoing problem still exists with the automatic steering: when driving at a high rate of speed,…

Steering complaint. I just purchased a used 2010 toyota corolla for my 60 mile daily freeway commute. The steering is very concerning to me as it seems like i have to struggle to keep the vehicle straight. It's almost as if it's floating and being blown in the wind, except there's no wind actually blowing outside. This is very noticeable (and concerning) due to my long commute. *tr

I leased a 2010 toyota corolla le on 4-2-2010. The first time driving on the highway was very scary. I could not keep the car going straight. It felt like a strong crosswind constantly blowing the car around. I have an appointment at the dealer on 4-19-10. *tr

I bought a toyota corolla 2010 le on 04/03/2010, and when i drove it on the freeway first time, i was shocked/scared the way was steering/handling. I almost had two accidents with it because of the steering issue. When i drove it on the freeway i saw that the car is loosing balance (the back car shakes), i found stability problems (as if i drive in strong winds), and big steering problems (as i learn to drive a…

I have a 2010 toyota corolla. The vehicle has been taken to the selling dealer twice and an additional dealer once. I took it in for what i deem as unsafe steering. The vehicle wanders even when holding the wheel locked straight with both hands. The dealers checked alignment and said its the nature of the electronic steering. My wife wont drive the car for fear of how it feels. *tr

2010 toyota corolla le. Steering issues as noted by others - going straight/staying in lane, pulls to either left or right and wanders, floats, feels like a wind gust hitting the car etc. At various speeds although it is more noticeable at speeds above 40mph. This causes an unstable feeling and need for driver to correct. Car was purchased on 3/31 and i have not taken it back to the dealer at this time. Making…

Steering concern with 2010 toyota corolla; complaint consists primarily with the points; experienced of being buffeted via a strong wind would be an accurate description. Often correcting movement of the car, as if alignment is non-existent. Dry steering noise & vibration on turning at speed of 10, 30, 40 max mph. *tr

Our 2010 toyota corolla wanders all over the road like you are driving in a heavy cross wind. The dealer says it is the road but we drive approx. 3000 miles a month on a lot of different roads and is the same. *tr

I have a 2010 toyota corolla. I am scared to drive it on the highway. The steering is very sensitive and i cannot keep it on the road if over 65 mph. It feels like your are hydroplaning, the wind is blowing you all over the road. My boyfriend followed me home and said it look like i was doing dwi on i-95. If the wind blows just a little bit, you are all over the road. This is very dangerous, i have taken it back to…

While driving my 2010 toyota corolla at highway speeds, the car drifts unpredictably and suddenly, with no apparent cause. I have noticed this as an issue since soon after purchasing it in july 2009. As a result of these steering issues, i have often come frighteningly close to cars in the lanes on either side of me, and i am afraid that this will actually cause a high speed accident at some point in the future.

I traded in my 2009 corolla le and purchased a 2010 corolla le two weeks ago. While driving this car at highway speeds, i am having a very difficult time keeping the car from wandering. It feels very much like i am driving in a strong cross wind although this occurs during all wind conditions. This car is exactly like the car i traded in except that my old car didn't have this steering issue. The dealer said that…

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla le. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign id number 10v023000 (vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal). The very next day, the vehicle drove over a curb without driver intent. On a separate occasion, while driving at an approximate speed of 45 mph, the steering wheel uncontrollably began veering from left to right without driver assistance.…

We purchased a 2010 toyota corolla. We did not notice the power steering problem right away. After driving it for about a week the power steering would start floating when the wheel would be straight. It is very dangerous because if you do not hold the steering wheel tight the vehicle floats into other lanes and onto the shoulder. I have taken it twice to the dealership now just to be told that the vehicle is within…

Still had the same issue with no improvement. As i rite this, lynch…

.the steering on my 2010 corolla is hard to control. The vehicle feels like it is wandering on the road and it is difficult to correct. The problem is much worse at highway speeds above 60mph. Driving the car in crosswinds is difficult and scary due to the "floating" feel of the steering. *dt

I just bought a new 2010 toyota corolla. Upon taking it up to highway speed the first time i noted a "drifting" in the steering that seemed unusual (car rides fine for a while then drifts right or left causing you to over steer it back). I drove it for the rest of the day and the next day and am certain that something is wrong with the steering. The dealer said it is the new electronic power steering but it sure…

I know there have been some issues reported on power steering in 2010 corollas, and i have experienced something like this. We have noticed "wandering" while driving down the highway quite often. It will wander one direction and then when you straighten it back out, it will do it again. It will go both directions, so it's not alignment. I decided to pay very careful attention last time i drove it. While going…

I recently purchased a 2010 toyota corolla xle. I have noticed at highway speeds the vehicle is impossible to steer normally. Apparently the electric power steering is oversensitive or something because you cannot keep the car going straight with normal steering input. If a highway patrol officer were to follow this car for any distance, he would think the driver was impaired. I have owned toyota vehicles for 20…

Takata recall.........toyota has almost a year to fix this problem. Please make it where my friends can ride in the front seat. This is ridiculous. I purchased this car because of toyota's safety rating march 2010, the next day there was a recall and it has gone down hill since. I paid cash money for my car and cannot afford to purchase another. If the airbags or any other safety recall is not fixed asap and…

While driving my corolla, even i do not hit the gas pedal, the rpm stays around 2000 and sometimes it started to stuck around 3000 rpm for 15 to 30 seconds than goes to normal. I had difficulty to slow down in busy traffic, because even i hit the brakes it does not cut the gas so the engine still tries to run and the car still tends to go, so i am not able to slow down or it takes time to slow down. I am driving my…

I have a 2010 toyota corolla. When i am driving on the highway and reach speeds of over 40 mph it is very hard to keep the car in a straight line or in the proper driving lane. The car begins to sway as if it is being buffeted by hard winds. Often it takes two hands on the steering wheel to get control of the car's swaying motion and just when you think you've got it corrected, it sways again and can easily…

The vehicle pulls, you have to continually correct the steering to stay in the lane. More noticeable the faster the speed. A long drive makes my knuckles turn white and my shoulders hurt. At first i thought it was the wind, but the more i drive it the more noticeable it is. *tr

Vehicle steering does not feel right. Cannot keep car driving straight. It feels as though it is windy, when it actually isn't windy. Vehicle is brand new, just a couple of days old. This occurs when i drive faster than 50 mph. Called dealership and told them of problem, and they have not had any experience with such problem. I then searched online and found many people complaining about the same issue with the same…
