| I recently took a trip from the south to the mid west. the roads are much straighter and the speed limit is higher. i had been noticing that the car drifts back and forth on the highway but hadn't paid it much attention until we went north. while doing 70-75mph down the highways that are straight forever the car was incredibly hard to keep straight. when i got home it was due for regular service and i adressed my concern with the steering. they did an alignment at the dealership, after i picked up my car and took it on the highway 24 hrs later i noticed my steering wheel was not straight. the t toyota symbol on the wheel had to be slanted to the left in order for the car to drive straight. if you held the wheel straight the car was driving off the side of the road to the right! the drifting side to side was worse than ever!!!!! i have since taken my corolla to the same dealership about 5 times now (although they haven't properly recorded that in the computer, they show its only been about 3), taken the lead service tech and the customer service rep for a ride in my car and they completly agreed with me that the steering wheel was off, noticably! they held my car for a week and replaced the steering computer and said that should fix the problem. they drove it after it was fixed and returned the car to me. i then drove it down the highway about 30 min later and it is still freaking crooked!!!!!! toyota corp and the people at the dealership are making me feel like i'm crazy and that its normal! this is not normal! it was not crooked before i took it in and it is not fixed!! there is a lemon law in this state! this is my first brand new car and first toyota and this is the worst experiance i have ever had with a car and will not buy one again! unbelievable! | |||

| I purchased the car 4/22/11, two weeks later it began jerking and bucking. i thought it ws me so at first i did not say anything. after some time it became a regular occurence. then on 2 occaions it accelerated on it's own. even when i applied the brakes it was not slowing down. finally it did but i was scared i was not going to be able to stop. i took the car to the dealer and, of course, it did not do it. they checked it and told me all was normal. two days later the jerking and bucking returned and it drove itself again just the other day. the jerking and bucking occurs between 40 and50 mph. however, the other day it occured at 35 and 55. when this happens the tach. dips and dives and the mpg gauge drops to 99.9 . no warning lights come on. this car car scares me !!!!!!!!! i have found other people complaining of the same problem and doing all the same things i am doing including this report but to no avail. toyota is doing nothing about this problem. i called them to report this on tuesday 7/19/11 they gave me a case # and told me a manager would call me by friday. i received no call. | |||
