Toyota Corolla Steering Safety Report | Mar 31, 2013
Reported on Mar 31, 2013
| I HAVE A 2011 COROLLA LE WHICH HAS 12K MILES ON IT. TILL 12K EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND I LOVED THIS CAR VERY MUCH. WHILE RETURNING FROM A ROAD TRIP (550 MILES ONE WAY) I STARTED NOTICING LOOSING CONTROL ON THE STEERING AND THE VEHICLE STARTED WANDERING ALL OVER THE LANE. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE HIGH WINDS ON THAT DAY. BUT I GOT TIRED FREQUENTLY DUE TO THIS AND HAD TO TAKE MANY BREAKS. THEN I TRIED TO REACH SOME TOYOTA DEALER ON THE WAY BUT THEY HAD NO SERVICE DUE TO EASTER SUNDAY. SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO REACH BACK TO MY HOME. IT WAS REALLY A DANGEROUS DRIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN HUGE TRUCKS WERE PASSING BY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON THE NEXT DAY. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I COULDN'T AGREE TO THEM. I TOOK THE CAR AND AGAIN NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON HIGH WAYS. AFTER A WEEK I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY VERIFIED THE CAR WITH DIFFERENT SET OF DRIVERS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. I CALLED UP TOYOTA AND REGISTERED A COMPLAINT. BUT THEY SAID WITHOUT REPORT FROM THE DEALER THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. THEY ALSO REPEATED THE SAME AS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. NOW I AM NOT SURE WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED. I REALLY FEEL THAT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STEERING AND I AM LOOSING CONTROL. STEERING FEELS MUCH LIGHTER AND LOOSER THAN BEFORE AND I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS. *TR | |
