I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TIRES, I HAVE HAD FOUR NAIL IN MY TIRES FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. MY GROUND AFFECT ON MY TOYOTA SPORT IS FADING THE COLOR AFTER ONE YEAR. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS FROM TAKING IT THROUGH THE CARWASH. I TOOK IT THROUGH MIKE'S CARWASH TWO TIMES AND THE OTHER TIMES THROUGH THE TOYOTA CARWASH AT THE DEALER SHIP.

1. THIS CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE HIGHWAY EVEN WHEN YOU HOLD STEERING WITHOUT MOVING. IT SEEMS VEHICLE SLOWLY, CONSISTENTLY DRIFTS MOSTLY TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. ONE NEEDS TO PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION ON STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE DAY ONE (8 MILES) AND I REQUESTED TO FIX BEFORE I SIGN THE PAPER WORK BUT NOT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OTHER THAN CAR WASH. THIS ISSUE STILL EXISTS EVEN AFTER PERFORMING ALIGNMENT DURING OUR FIRST SERVICE VISIT AS I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE. WE BELIEVE IT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAN STICKY PEDAL AND POSE A POTENTIAL RISK FOR COROLLA OWNERS IF WE CAN NOT CONTROL STEERING. IT HAS POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD AS THE VEHICLE WANDERS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT ESPECIALLY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FEELS LIKE CAR WHEELS ARE NOT UNDER CONTROL. WE ARE POSITIVE THAT THESE STEERING/SUSPENSION ISSUES WERE ALSO RAISED ON OTHER 2010 COROLLAS BY A NUMBER OF OWNERS. TOYOTA AND DEALERS MUST BE FULLY AWARE OF THESE CONCERNS BUT FAILED TO DECLARE UP FRONT. DURING OUR SECOND VISIT THEY TOLD US ABOUT TS 1040 AND REPLACED STEERING CONTROL COMPUTER BOARD. SEEMS WANDERING ISSUE IS GONE FOR NOW. BUT TIRES ARE PROBLEM AS I AM HAVING CONCERN FROM THE BEGINNING. 2. I FEEL HUMMING MILD VIBRATION/RESONANCE IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN WE CROSS 50-60 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE TIRES ARE VIBRATING THE STEERING WHEEL. REPLACING COMPUTER CONTROLLER DID NOT FIX MILD VIBRATION OF STEERING. 3. TIRES: AS I HAD DOUBT ABOUT TIRES THIS COULD BE TIRES PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA SERVICE TEAM IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT THE FACT. ONCE YOU CROSS 62 MPH YOU CAN CLEARLY FEEL THE TIRE VIBRATION MAINLY IN A STEERING WHEEL AND ALSO ON THE VEHICLE. ROAD FORCE BALANCING HAS BEEN DONE BUT THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. I AM NOT SURE IT IS ENGINE RELATED OR TIRES. I HAVE BEEN INSISTING ON REPLACING ANOTHER SET OF BETTER BALANCED TIRES OR DIFFERENT MAKE OF TIRES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AS THE STEERING WHEEL BECOME VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SWERVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AND HER SMALL CHILD WOULD COMPLAIN OF BACK PAIN DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE, STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED NEW TIRES AND RIMS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW AND SHOULD NOT NEED NEW RIMS AND TIRES. THE CONTACT BELIEVED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, SHE WAS PUTTING HER FAMILY AT RISK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
PURCHASED A NEW 2010 COROLLA. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK, I HAD TWO SERVICE LIGHTS ON (MY CAR HAS 1400 MILES ON IT). THE STEERING IN THE CAR SEEMED "LOOSE" AS I DROVE HOME, BUT WHEN I WENT TO TURN ON MY STREET, THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN AND THE ABS FAILED. I HIT A CURB ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD DAMAGING A STRUT AND AN ALLOY WHEEL. MY LOCAL DEALER, LAKELAND TOYOTA, TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM BUT THAT I NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY THOSE TWO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO WORK WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE TO GET THIS RESOLVED IN A MANNER THAT I WILL FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. KIND OF HARD TO DO WHEN THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR
BOUGHT A 2010 COROLLA ON 12/26/09 WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 TIRES. UPON DRIVING HOME MY STEERING WAS WEAVING LEFT TO RIGHT FELT AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND/OR HYDROPLANING. TOYOTA REGIONAL REP CAME FROM CORPORATE, LOOKED AT THE STEERING 2 WKS AGO. STEERING IMPROVED UNTIL DRIVING IN RAIN ON 4/4/10 THE STEERING BECAME LOOSE AND THE CAR WAS WEAVING LEFT TO RIGHT AND I WAS ONCE AGAIN HYDROPLANING AT 65 MPH GOODYEAR MAN SAID WHEN TRACTION IS LOST TO THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE WILL HYDROPLANE. (THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS) *TR THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WOULD WANDER INTO THE NEXT LANE. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE DID NOT ALWAYS STOP IN TIME WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH ABS AND THEY WERE MUCH BETTER AND SAFER. UPDATED IVOQ 03/10/11
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A SCRATCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT TWO WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE STILL OCCURRED AFTER REPAIRS. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 700. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,700.
I HAVE FELT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OF MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE BRAKES VIBRATE OR PULSATE WITHOUT WARNING. IT SEEMS THAT THE ABS IS ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON. I AM NOT STOPPING SHORT AND THE ROAD HAS NOT BEEN SLIPPERY . I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED WITH THE BRAKES IS THAT THEY SEEM TO GRIND WHEN I AM BRAKING OVER BUMPY SURFACES. IT HAPPENS WITH OUT WARNING, I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT IS JUST THE ABS, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE PROBLEM SEEM SIMILAR TO THE PRIUS BRAKE COMPLAINTS. FINALLY, I NOTICE THAT SOMETIMES AS I AM STOPPING THAT THE BRAKES SEEM TO SLIP A LITTLE BUT THEN TAKE HOLD. *TR
THE BRAKING ON MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE. WHEN APPROACHING ANY TYPE OF CHANGE IN THE ROAD SURFACE THAT REQUIRES ME TO PUT MY FOOT LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE A VIBRATION AND WEIRD FEELING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL TAKE PLACE. IT'S STARTLING WHEN IT HAPPENS. MY WIFE HAS EXPERIENCED IT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'VE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR . I BOUGHT A TOYOTA FOR IT'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY SO FAR I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR
IN MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA XLE WITH 2382 MILES ON IT, I EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE AND DIFFICULTY STEERING WHILE DESCENDING DOWN A SLIGHT GRADE. THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS FAR AS IT COULD GO. SIMULTANEOUSLY HEARD A LOUD SCRAPING SOUND AND DETECTED AN ODOR. REPORTED INCIDENT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. *TR
TOYOTA RECALL,HOW CAN YOU EXPECT US TO BRING OUR VEHICLE IN FOR THIS RECALL TO PUT ON PRECISION-CUT STEEL REINFORCEMENT BAR ON ACCELERATOR WHEN CEO OF TOYOTA CAN'T GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL NOT BE SOLVED? THIS WAS STATED ON NATION WIDE TV. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR MY COLLEGE STUDENT DAUGHTER AND I WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE IT AS I DO NOT FEEL SHE WILL BE SAFE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? *TR
