Description of the problem | 2010 toyota corolla -- steering problem. Very difficult to keep car within travel lane when driving at highway speed. This is not related to wind gusts but occurs at all the times. Feels like there are dead spots in the wheel and there is little to no road feel feedback. The car does not track straight on its own but requires constant steering corrections. I am 69 years old and have owned and driven many cars/trucks including my 2002 toyota avalon and my daughter's 1993 corolla and have never before experienced the type steering issue that we have with our new 2010 toyota corolla. I believe this to be significant safety issue and if a driver in not paying 100% attention and constantly correcting to keep car within the travel lane the result could be disastrous. Toyota needs to be required to fix this steering issue with its new corolla's. [this occurs all the time - but your form forces me to enter an incident date so i am just using jan 1, 1901 to proceed with the form. Updated 03/19/10.*jb |
