It went up the slope bordering the parking lot, then made a turn, and re-entered the parking lot. It came to a stop when it bumped into two other parked cars.”
NHTSA complaint #10303978, filed 2010-02, 10,000 miles“I just read an article on msnbc's about '09-10' corollas having difficulties steering their vehicles. My '07 Corolla has the same problem, especially when I'm driving at highway speeds. I initially thought it was a tire issue, but I have bought new tires recently and after checking the air pressure, the issue remains. It is worse during high winds, as my car has a feeling like I will lose control of the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10308275, filed 2010-02, 59,000 miles“My 2007 Toyota Corolla feels like it is floating when I am on the highway and driving above 60 MPH. I thought it was wind or tire pressure but I corrected the tire pressure and it still does the same thing. It only happens when I get up to a higher speed and not on regular roads or in the town. It did not do this for the first year and a half that I owned the car but it has been doing it regularly for the past 6 months.”
