Description of the problem	Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) 2009 toyota corolla with 9500 miles, has steering issue at speeds over 60 mph. Steering goes soft and feels like driving a shopping cart with loss of stability, wandering in lane, and feeling of wind gusts around car when it is not a windy day. Experienced in prior months beginning november 2009, bought car new in july 2009, mostly city driving, though. Drove from va beach to dc on april 7, 2010, returned april 8, 2010. Routes driven were 64 and 95. Most of stability loss occurred on southbound 95 in heavy traffic. I am an experienced driver with no accidents of any kind in over 30 years. I have driven toots primarily. I am filing this to report the unsafe condition, but there was no accident. Since originally feeling the stability loss in november, 2009, i have tried to catalog the times the car's steering is amiss. Overwhelmingly, it occurs at speeds of 65-70 mph, and in order to control the wandering, i grip the wheel tightly, like i am driving a snowmobile down a bumpy hill. It is exhausting, and very, very distracting. Only in the heavy traffic on 95 recently, i felt very unsure of my ability to control the car. I plan to discuss all of this with the local toyota dealer. [xxx]

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
