After reading about the toyota corolla steering problems, i wanted to file a complaint of my own. I have noticed this problem of feeling like wind whipping my car around on the freeway almost daily since i leased my new 2010 corolla in november 2009. I always thought it was the way the los angeles area roads are paved but after reading other owners' similar complaints in the news, i am sure that this is what is…

Rental car, toyota corolla in los angeles was extremely hard to steer. As i was going down highway at speeds above 40 miles per hour it was as if i was driving through a wind storm. The car would not maintain lane very well and the steering wheel travel required to keep it in line was excessive. The wheel position had to be maintained not with slight movement but sweeping movements from positions about 10 to 2 on a…

I have a 2010 toyota corolla and at highway speeds the car "drifts" , at lower speeds it does not occur. This issue is very much a concern as at expressway speeds it seems the steering is very loose, effecting the stability and control of the vehicle. *tr

I just bought this car on monday 2/15/2010, from dick milham toyota in easten p.a. There is a real problem with the steering, at speeds over 50mph you really need two hands to steer the car. I travel over 192 miles a day and im very worried about this. I am going to speak with the dealer to see if they will take the car back, i hope you are going to investigate these problems and force toyota to fix the problem…

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving on the interstate, he noticethat the metric power steering did not function properly. The vehicle seemed to lunge forward and the contact had to correct the steering wheel so it would move out of the lane. The dealer told him that it was normal for the vehicle to respond in that way. He had not spoken with the manufacturer to date. The…

I have a 2010 toyota corolla that has right at 4000 miles on it. At any highway speeds above 60 mph, there is a definite problem with the steering. At first i just thought it was because the car is so small that the wind was moving it around on the road. After driving it for over a month now, it happens every time i am on the interstate. You have to work to get the car to stay centered in your lane, or look as…

While traveling at about 50 mph the gauges went instantly from 50 to 0. At the same time multiple warning lights came on the dash. The car still had power when stepping on the gas, lights and radio were still on. When attempting to turn to get off the road, then steering wheel clicked and locked. There was no steering. My brakes did work. It was as if the car had shut itself off and then back on, but didn't unlock…

2010 toyota corolla with 10,100 miles, steering suddenly pulls left or right randomly for some period of time, then stops just as suddenly. It occurs more so at faster speeds, but will also happen around 20-30 mph. Difficult to stay in lane as it drifts extremely easily. Tends to favor pulling right over left, but does both. Have to physically pull back to counteract pulling. Also very easy to overcorrect and look…

I have one of the notorious toyota corolla. The gas pedal has be fixed-maybe but i now notice an extremely touchy steering. It seems to turn ok but on the straight away you have to keep both hands on the wheel tightly it jerks from right to left always! The faster you go the more pronounced. I used to live in phila and remember what it felt like driving on ice this is quite similar. Very difficult to keep in your…

I recently leased a 2010 toyota corolla about 2 weeks ago. My problem is over the steering of the vehicle, i have been driving for over 12 years now, and this vehicle is totally unstable at highway speeds from 40mph and above. When i say unstable i mean the steering is too light for feel, and the car has a horrible tendency to sway into another lane. Every highway trip is a potentially hazardous adventure. I read…

Car will pull to the right or left, and then when you try to straighten it via the steering wheel it will overcorrect and pull too much in the opposite direction. Whenever driving on the expressway or highway, this happens. We have to constantly keep our hands firmly gripped on the steering wheel or else the car will start drifting. This has been a constant issue since the car was purchased in dec 2009, even though…

The electric power steering in my 2010 toyota corolla is very erratic and unstable at speeds of 40 mph and above. It becomes much worse when the wind is blowing. I have had a toyota dealer inspect the vehicle and they claimed that they found nothing wrong. I leased the vehicle in december 2009 and the problem has never gone away. Yesterday, i reported the problem to the toyota customer experience center. They told…

I recently purchased a 2010 corolla on february 3, 2010. I was driving down the road tonight from work and my car started drifting to the left. It was extremely hard for me to stay in the proper lane. It appears if the car was drifting by itself, and i was on the verge of losing control. By researching how to report this problem i noticed there were many complaints on this same situation. Toyota is putting may lives…

Bought my new 2010 corolla s on dec. 28th, 2009; noticed how the steering was odd, but thought it was my imagination. It seems to drift on it's own left and right - like it's being blown around by a gust of wind - but the wind isn't blowing! This happens every time i drive the car. Each time it does this veering maneuver i look at the surrounding trees to see if they are being blown too - but they are not. I have…
