Toyota Corolla Steering Safety Report | May 08, 2011
Reported on May 08, 2011
| AT ABOUT 55MPH-60MPH, THE CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CAR BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE AND WILL NOT HOLD THE ROAD WELL. THE CAR JERKS QUICKLY BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE LANE, FEELING ALMOST AS IF ONE WERE DRIVING IN HIGH WINDS; HOWEVER, THIS STEERING ISSUE WILL OCCUR AT EVERY HIGH SPEED AND EVEN WITHOUT WIND PRESENT. THE STEERING IS TOO SENSITIVE AND WILL EASILY MOVE INTO ANY OTHER LANE DESPITE HOLDING THE WHEEL STILL. THIS CAR FEELS LIKE THE STEERING HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY FRIGHTENING WHILE DRIVING PAST OTHER CARS ON FREEWAYS DUE TO DIMINISHED DRIVER CONTROL. AT LOWER SPEEDS, STEERING IS FINE, BUT BECOMES DANGEROUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. | |
