Description of the problem | I have a 2009 toyota corolla, purchased last year and have driven it only 7000 miles total. I had gotten work done on it when i experienced a delayed stop after putting my foot on brake. Now i am having to have it worked on for the floor mat recall. I want to report that i have noticed when i am driving the steering is very touchy. I can feel my wheel jerk me all over. I fight it on the freeway so much i do not drive on them anymore unless i really have to at high speed because i feel like i cannot control the steering because it is so touchy! I get pulled all of a sudden to one side when i am on a slight turning road and it will adjust but instead of straightening it pulls the other direction! It is as if i am skating on ice and one time i was merging onto a highway and looked over my should to see if there were any cars in my blind side for a split second and i look back and was almost in the ditch, thank god i had a quick reflex and i knew then to always be aware of the car jerking me all of a sudden! Something has got to be done... I did not buy a brand new car to put myself or my kids lives in danger... |
