There is a problem with the steering in my 2010 toyota corolla le. the car drifts side to side making it hard to keep it in a straight line. i complained immediately to the dealership. they said the steering is acting as designed. i continue to question it every time i have it serviced. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota corolla. the contact stated while driving at 60 mph, the steering became very hard and difficult to turn. he would have to pull on the steering wheel when the failure occurred to keep the vehicle centered in its lane. the steering wheel would not re-center itself when making a turn during the failure. the dealer advised they were unable to repair the vehicle because the steering box was electronic. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 285 and the current mileage was 3,270.
I drive a 2010 toyota corolla. there is something wrong with the antilock brake system; especially if i am trying to apply the brake to slow the car and am making a right turn(even slightly turning right). it's like the brakes lock up and the steering gets like a mac truck. this also happens when i go over a bump and/or pothole. it most recently even happened when i was driving down the highway and there was a slight right curve in the road and i wasn't applying the brakes. i took the car into the dealership today and they could find nothing wrong. within an hour of leaving the dealership; it happened twice yet they couldn't duplicate the problem. i have a brand new car and am afraid to drive it. supposedly my car wasn't recalled for the gas pedal because it was made in japan but feel like the gas pedal is sticky at times. i am very upset because i just put all this money out and i have an unsafe vehicle to drive. my daughter and i were going to try and drive across country this summer and now we cannot possibly for we donot feel safe in this car. toyota should have to buy back the vehicles. i believe there is a much bigger problem causing all this that they are not admitting and/or have not found yet. i didn't complain or take the car back right away because i had similar problems with the scion xd and was told there was nothing wrong again and again. this is an ongoing problem. *tr

I have a 2010 corolla 4 dr le model, which i bought in july 2009. i continue to notice that the car "wanders" on the road while driving; generally it is really noticeable about 50 mph. when there are windy conditions (frequent in kansas), i have to constantly correct my direction of travel since the wind exacerbates the wandering of the vehicle. i thought that it was due to the crown of the particular road, but it does it on all roads. my wife has driven the car and noticed the same thing. i have not lost control of the vehicle, but it concerns me that a car would not drive in a reasonable straight line. this is the very first car i've ever owned that did it; it is not the first toyota i've ever owned, and have never ever had such a problem. i cannot give a specific date of incident, as it does it all the time, so i will indicate the delivery date of the vehicle to me. *tr

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) toyota corolla 2010 steering is dangerous above 40 mph, the car won't stay in it's lane and is almost impossible to keep the car straight down the road without constant counter steering. interstate speeds requires nerves of steel and i do not recommend it to even the best driver. this car is dangerous and the local dealer says everything is fine. i refuse to drive this car over 65 mph, even on the interstate, very tiring and stressful to travel in this car (at speed). this car has handled like this since new..no corrective action (fix) from the dealer as of 3-8-2010 [xxx] *tr
Bought brand new 2010 toyota corolla in may 2009. when driving on freeway feels like car will change lane automatically. also feels like driving car in the windy condition. when you leave the steering wheel, i think car is suppose to go straight, but car pulls either on right or left side. *tr

I also have a new 2010 corolla bought in lexington ky three weeks ago. 3 days before the recall on the acceleration pedals were announced. i have yet to hear from the dealer about fixing the issue. although today i wanted to report a steering issue with the car. it does indeed have difficulty staying in a lane of traffic. the car will veer to the left or right of the lane unexpectedly and without warning. it is similar to a gust of wind pushing the car even if no wind is blowing. i had taken it to the dealership for testing and the service guy told me it's just how the steering is made in these autos. it is a way for the powerful control you have going around curves and turns in the road impacts the straight highway driving. i have run off the road on my passenger side already. you do have to drive as if you are always on ice or water, gripping both hands on the wheel at all times; while praying the car will stop!!! *tr
