| I have a toyota corolla 2010,i had it since june 2010, . i went through a major car accident on hw 1 ca @ 8:45 am on tuesday which was a sunny, clear , not foggy nor rainy day (weather condition was perfect),i was driving on 63 mph (normal speed is 65) on the fast left lane and suddenly i felt that the left front tire is veering the car into a different direction acting as if it below up (but it didn't) and my car is veering to the left , my steering wheel is locked and is not responding at all when trying to change the car directionto the right. there was no way to drive the car in a straight line. the steering wheel failed completely to respond to any attempt to turn it to the right in an attempt to gain control over the car and attempting to drive it in straigt line. brakes as well were not responding. all attempts to stop the car or turn it to the rigt to avoid bumping the rails and keep it straight in the lane failed. i completely lost control over the car & it started fishtailing in the front. the car didn't stop until it bumped into the guarding rail, at this moment the car just stoped and it took the car more than 20 feed to autonmously stop by it self. i failed to stop it.at this moment the car corrected its direction &went in straight line dirsection scrubing against the rail completely damaging the entire left side of the car before it stall. then all the dash board lights and car sounds went on and the car stalled. the car was not in a drivable condition so i had to tow it away. i have a witness who described my accident saying that my car kept swirving to the left & was ambagiously uncontrolled, he was the one that took care of me after the car bumped the rail. this accident is a life threatening accident not only for me but also for others on the hw. i was lucky it happened on my way home after i droped off my son to school ,the two car seats i had in the car were damaged, the car damage was estimated by $10,000. i suffer from a severe pain | |||

| 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 feel like you do not have control of the car. it swerves from side to side. tried putting more air in the tires, does not help. i have not even made my first payment yet. i have called corporate offices, and am awaiting a response from them. we need to start a class action suit. | |||

| I purchased a 2010 toyota corolla s on 11-7-2009. on the test drive i complained to the salesman that the steering felt strange. it seemed to have a center spot and then any left or right turn would cause a minor pull either direction as if the steering turned on. the salesman said it was the electric steering on all the new cars. that was a slow speed test drive. after the purchase i got on the interstate and was shocked to feel the steering feel as if i were going around a semi tractor trailer rig and being pushed around by the wind, but yet i was not near a vehicle. it seemed like loose steering or tire squirm. when i got back from my trip i took it to the local toyota service center and asked if there is an adjustment on the power steering or if there is an issue with the tires. to both questions my service advisor said no. on another trip on the interstate, it all of a sudden started acting like it was going to fish tail swinging back and forth, like i was ridding on balloon tires, or without sidewalls. i quickly slowed down. in cross winds or going around a semi it is worse. at my 5,000 service, i asked if there are any steering or tire issues, and my advisor still said no, but part of the service was to rotate the tires, and this has seemed to lessen the squirm. i now have 7,000 miles on my 2010 toyota corolla s. *tr | |||

| Toyota corolla s 2010 [xxx] with extra stabilizer bar kit, purchased 11-30-09 with delivery in 12/09. 1) approximately 1 month after purchase ,the car starting to veer sharply right then left when driving on the highway, it was/is difficult to control requiring a tight grip on the wheel. it feels like strong winds are moving the car but winds are absent and road conditions are normal. this event comes and goes unexpectedly, generally lasts the duration of my commute once started, sometimes occurs with the tire pressure gauge but not always, sometimes occurs after rapid braking. it does not feel like an alignment or balance problem, the car darts from one end of the lane, to the median of the lane on its own. on this date 2-24-10 my local dealership filled the tires, and made a slight change to the left alignment they could not duplicate the problem and stated this could be a matter of personal preferences regarding how i felt the car drove when this occurred. the toyota manager also told me today that they understand there could be a problem but they have no direction on how to repair it. when asked then if he could guarantee my safety and that this would not occur again he stated no, but there was nothing for him to do. no injuries to date. i do not feel toyota is making reasonable efforts to quickly eliminate this problem, acknowledge a problem, and do not wish to resolve this with statements regarding my personal preference for the drive, and since this in their opinion is not reproducible for them it is not a viable problem for them to repair. 2) on approximately 2-11-10 i had to use my brakes in an emergency situation in which my brakes were temporally non-response. i had to downshift the gears, remove my foot totally from the gas pedal ,and maneuvered the car away from the other stopped car. no abs was felt, the brake pedal was depressed fully, this occurred at hwy speeds. no acknowledgement of problem or remedy proposed by toy currently. *tr | |||
