On march 6, 2010 i purchased a new 2010 toyota corolla. I drove home approx. 50 highway miles and immediately noticed that the steering seemed very different. The slightest movement of the steering wheel resulted in the car wandering right to left. I was aware that the car had eps but in no way aware that there had been problems reported similar to the one that i was experiencing. Perhaps rather than a slight…

Toyota corolla difficult steering at highway speeds. Steering "sticks" in position when correcting and requires constant re-correction. Car does not self center upon leaving curves. When correcting to the left, car will climb over crown into on-coming lane unless re-corrected. Difficult to keep the car going straight, requires constant attention and is fatiguing. *tr

I purchased this brand new 2010 toyota corolla for my daughter. While driving this car on the highway at speeds of 65 mph or higher, the vehicle wanders. It constantly feels like sudden gusts of wind are pushing the vehicle out of the driving lane. This is extremely unnerving. I am a captain with a major airline, and i took the car out to get a sense of what my daughter has explained to me. In 31 years of flying, i…

On my 2010 toyota corolla, at highway speeds (65-70 mph), the vehicle will feel as though the steering is loose...like i'm going over a metal-grate bridge, where the car moves sideways on it's own. I drive approximately 100 highway miles a day, and this is a daily occurrence. I brought the vehicle to toyota on 3/4/10, but they claim they do not feel the steering problem. I don't feel it was sufficiently tested, as…

We purchased a brand new 2010 toyota corolla less than a month ago from a texas dealer in north houston. Immediately upon driving home we noticed a "meandering" of the front end, difficulty in keeping the car in its lane at high speeds. It felt like driving a car during a windy day. As it was a windy day we thought nothing of it. It behaved as you would expect at high speeds, on the freeway, on a windy day. The…

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). I have a 2010 toyota corolla. I purchased it in july and realized fairly soon that there seems to be a problem with the steering. At first i thought it was just me because i have driven large suv's for the past 20 years and i thought it was just because it was a small car. My grown son used my car to go on a road trip and…

This was not a failure, but more of a constant problem. My 2010 toyota corolla has a serious tendency to want to wander in the lane. I drive to work everyday on the express way, about 25 miles. It requires constant monitoring and adjustments to keep the vehicle tracking straight. It actually feels like the car is always on a slippery road, even when the pavement is dry. As speeds increase the problem increases; it…

Bought 2010 corolla on 2/27/2010, felt the wheel is very tight comparing to the rental 2010 corolla i had before purchasing this corolla. Sent it to dealer, they felt the same way, and "swap the power steering" for me while kept it in for 11 days. I took it home yesterday, but found its as tight as before. I feel its like driving a truck, and power steering is barely working, especially the speed is over 20mph. I…

My 2010 toyota corolla still veers from lane to lane even after i took it to the dealer and complained. The dealer took the car in and "realigned" the wheels and said if there is a recall, you can show that we at least looked at your car. The car still goes from lane to lane and never tracks straight. If my attention goes to see if i can pass a car etc, i am headed to the other lane and have to correct right away.…

I brought a new toyota corolla 2010 in mid january, and have experienced a possible steering problem for a couple of times when the speed was more than 60 mph. The latest one was in the afternoon of feb. 26, when i drove on a highway with a speed of about 65 mph. It seemed the steering was very sensitive and difficult to control - a small movement in steering could easily cause the car to go to another lane. The…

Correction and addition to my 1st complaint. Yesterday i had to drive my husband home from the hospital and unfortunately i had to get on the hwy. The car road home was more worrisome than his surgery! The eps in the 2010 corolla is just as dangerous as the other corolla i had before it. Its blowing all over the road, taking me into other lanes, i almost hit other cars on the hwy, my husband got all distressed in…

Ongoing steering problem. At speeds above 30 mph the steering becomes overly sensitive causing the car to drift right and left and not track properly. Have to constantly adjust steering to stay in a straight line. No problem with vehicle alignment or tires. Just steering problem. *tr

Car feels as if you're driving in hard winds causing lane shifts without turning wheel. One must keep both hands tightly gripped to the steering wheel and continually over correct the wheel from left to right or right to…

While driving on the interstate in speeds in excess of 75 miles an hour, my 2010 corolla shakes violently in all conditions. I also have an issue when slowing down where the gas pedal will take longer than what is expected to return to an acceptable area and stop accelerating. This second issue has nearly caused several accidents. I have brought this up to the dealer where i purchased this vehicle some three months…

We have purchased new 2010 toyota corolla s model in november 2009. We noticed wiggling and unstable feel in steering wheel. We thought since we had other luxury car before, we are just not use to driving a cheaper car. But as times go by, it is going out of its driving lane uncontrollably. We really have to hold on to the steering wheel tight to keep it straight. *tr
