| I noticed that toyota only recall 2009/2010 corolla. but my corolla had fatal problem on 2001 model, and crashed on 2004/03. on highway 680 on 03/19/2004, dove as normal speed. the cars in front of me were far away, maybe about 200 meters. there is no car was closely aside of my lane. i didn't step brake or try change lane, just kept the lane and speed as normal. suddenly, the steering wheel out of control. it rushed to right, then left, then right, left, i tried very hard but couldn't control the steering. at the first second when i noticed the car went wrong direction, i stepped the brake as hard as i could, no use. steering and brake were out of control. the car hit the barrier wall with high speed, rolling over and over. milpitas or san jose chp was on site, and had a accident report. the car was total damaged, my head got hit and start bleeding inside but didn't check it out after accident. 2 months later i had a head surgery to stop the bleeding inside and took out a big chunk of blood. after years, till today, i am still suffered by the head wounds/hit. but the recall is only for 2009/2010 model, leave so many drivers still in dangerous situation. | |||
