problem #3

Corolla

  • 500 miles
2010 Corolla is unstable at speed over approximately 55 mph. The car wanders dangerously to left and right, being particularly vulnerable to any cross wind or turbulence from other vehicles. It is not possible to use any vehicle controls (such as turning on the defroster) while driving at highway speeds without having the car veer suddenly off course. The car feels as if it is missing a suspension component in the front end- there is a dangerous lack of stability at highway speeds. I even purchased new tires after only 2000 miles in an attempt to alleviate the problem, but it is the car and not the tires causing the problem. This car is unsafe at highway speeds.

Corolla

  • 100 miles
I bought a new 2010 Toyota Corolla S and realized that I can't control the steering at speeds over 50mph. This problem was noted, to my salesman, the same day I purchased the car. My whole family, including myself, made a living selling cars. I've driven in many different cars and know when something isn't right. The Corolla's steering is dangerous and unsafe to be on the road. The dealership service manager even noted that there is a steering issue, but Toyota doesn't have a fix. I talked to a representative at Toyota's corporate office, but he told me they can't help until their is a problem. When I drive on the express way the car's steering is unpredictable, unsafe, and defective. I'm forced to drive this car because it's my only means of transportation.
