2009 Toyota Corolla Wheels Problems

“One major flaw: twitchy power steering it?s similar to others on the internet blogs ? After about 30 minutes it?s as if I am trying to balance my steering on a ball. The steering wants to move off center to the left or right. By steering into oncoming lane or traffic. I reminds me as a kid; turning my bike handle bars 180 degrees (backwards)and steering forward. You can do it but you must keep both hands and fight the steering.”

“Event: high frequency noise from front wheels while on the freeway. Details: occurs on the freeway and only when speed is between 60 and 80 MPH. But goes off once pressed on the brake. Noise will not come right after you go over 60 MPH on the freeway, but after 10 to 15 min, on the freeway, it will start producing the noise. Once the noise starts, if we go any speed between 60 and 80 MPH, it will continue, and stop as soon as we engage the brakes slightly, but will reappear within few more mins of driving on the freeway. Resolution: went 3 times to the dealer for the same issue. …”

The vehicle is driven very little in the winter and is cleaned at least weekly. After researching online it appears that a large number of Toyota owners are experiencing the same issue. …”
