2009 Corolla is drifting left and right on the highway. Some vibration. Recently had new tires and wheel alignment and still very unstable, feels like driving a boat and can move left or right at any time. It has electronic power steering not hydrologic. I'm the second owner of this vehicle and have the maintenance records. The alternator was replaced twice on car which is unusual. Any recall of the electrical rack and pinion for this vehicle? my mechanic did not know how to fix besides replacing the whole rack and pinion system.

At highway speed car wanders across lanes. Experienced complete loss of power steering while driving down side street.

- Corpus Christi, TX, USA

I have been experiencing a lot of highway wanders and I have replaced tires and had three or more alignments done since January of this year. It feels as if the wild is blowing a hundred miles an hour around me and pushes my car all over the freeway. I feel it getting worse as well. I'm not sure what else to do or who to contact. I really need to get this fixed asap and we have tried many things.

Most pronounced at highway speeds the car will intermittently not go straight. It feels like a notch both to the left and right of center. It takes both hands to fight the wheel to make it go somewhat straight. Pulling the steering wheel out of one of these notches at 65 mph makes the car veer a few feet or more in the other direction of the notch. This is very dangerous when a car or 18 wheel semi truck is in the next lane and complicated further with a side wind. I just brought my car in for a takata airbag replacement and the service advisor knew nothing about any steering problems regarding a 2009 Corolla. I went to the corporate level and again, Toyota customer service knew nothing about any problems. When I asked if I could send them links to reports by abc, consumer reports, usa today and multiple other sources about law suits, judgements and decisions, they said they had no way of accepting these links. Apparently, hundreds of 2009 Corollas have this issue. I have experienced this issue at all speeds, although at slower speeds it isn't as dangerous but moving at a highway speed means that a few feet of unpredictability is not only possible but happens every few hundred yards. There are times but very few times where the steering is completely normal. My suspicion is that the electronic steering box or control may be affected by cell phone interference, both from my own phone and others as well as reception towers. I am a driver of almost 45 years and have logged almost a million miles with no accidents. I am mechanically inclined and am sensitive to mechanical malfunction and abnormalities. This steering issue is dangerous and has already cost lives and created accidents according to the articles I have found. Please help me convince Toyota to either recall the car or fix my car to normal operating conditions.

I was driving with 30 mile/hour on the anderson mill road, austin, Texas. All of sudden, the steering wheel became very heavy, just like steering was locked. It's so difficult to change direction. In this situation, I almost hit another car when I tried to find place to park. This situation may last several minutes, and become normal. I drove my car to the Toyota center, the technician took few hours to check, but nothing they found. Right now, I am so afraid of driving.

I've had everything fixed on my 2009 Corolla regarding the steering, thinkin it was the alignment, tires, balancing, brakes, spent alotta money at my mechanic.. turns out its the steering control unit. At highway speeds my car wanders very bad and I'm afraid ill hit another car.even changing lanes my car trouble sometimes and it is a safety issue. My mechanic and tire guys said this is not safe to drive.. I will be writing Toyota and takin my car in to see if the cost my car is covered or not. Toyota was investigaged but noting and were later sured over this issue. Toyota shoud be ashamed for knowing about this issue and refuseing to cover the costs.

While driving on the road, suddenly the red battery sign and ABS break red sign came on and steering left or right was extremely hard and could have led to an accident. It was diagnosed as no output from alternator by Toyota dealership. Seeing this behavior second time in last 2 years due to alternator failure.

I was driving my Toyota Corolla during the day and went to make a right turn into a parking space and suddenly the steering wheel locked. I just barely could turn into the parking space I was turning into and my car was sideways. My car was still running. I didn't know what was going on with it. I turned the car off and went into the pharmacy. When I came out and went to start my car, it wouldn't start. I had to call aaa for a jump start and even after the jump start, the steering wheel was still locked but the car was running. I was able to turn it enough to make it home because it was a straight ride home and half way home the steering wheel all of a sudden unlocked on it's own. Now I'm scared that this will happen while I'm on the highway or in alot of traffic and I'll be in an accident and kiiled or hurt someone else.
