Toyota Corolla Steering Safety Report | Mar 09, 2013
Reported on Mar 09, 2013
| WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THE CAR WILL DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. WHEN I CORRECT THE STEERING IT THEN WILL OVER CORRECTS AND SEND ME OUT OF MY LANE. SO I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE WITH A FIRM GRIP ON THE MY STEERING WHEEL WHICH DOES NOT STOP THE ISSUE BUT HELPS ME TO MAKE CONSTANT LITTLE CORRECTS AT ALL TIMES. DRIVING HAS NEVER BEEN SO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING AND TERRIFYING ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY 3 YEAR OLD SON'S SAFETY. THE NHTSA DID AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE STEERING OF THE 2009-2010 COROLLAS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND COULD HAVE SAVED US ALL THIS HASSLE THE FIRST GO AROUND. MAYBE AFTER A FEW MORE PEOPLE DIE AND THEY HIT A CERTAIN QUOTA THEY WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT DEFECTIVE CARS THAT ARE LITERALLY STEERING THEMSELVES. I HAVE TAKEN MY 2011 COROLLA INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY JUST TELL ME THAT IT'S THE WIND AND THE ROAD CAUSING MY STEERING ISSUES. YET WHEN I TAKE TO AN OUTSIDE SERVICE CENTER JUST TO VERIFY THE STEERING ISSUE, THEIR TECHS HAVE NO PROBLEM NOTICING WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. BACK IN 2010 THE CEO OF TOYOTA STATED HE WOULD FIX THE ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE FOR ANY CUSTOMER STATING THEY HAD A PROBLEM. OF COURSE THIS WAS WITH FOREGOING THE RECALL. SO NOW THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CLAIM TO HAVE ISSUES, THEY ARE BEING TURNED AWAY AT SERVICE CENTERS. AND WHEN THEY TRY TO SUE TO SELL BACK THEIR CAR, TOYOTA FINDS A WAY OUT OF THAT TOO. STEERING ISSUES ARE BEING FOUND IN COROLLA FROM 2009 TO 2013. IT'S TIME SOMETHING IS DONE!!! | |
