Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA IN OCT OF 2008. NOTICED THE TOUCHY STEERING, BUT WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT ON A SIDE STREET IN HUNTINGTON, WV WHEN SHE HIT A POT HOLE OR A MANHOLE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH. THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND SHE HIT A PARKED CAR. IT BROKE THE ABS WIRING HARNESS AND CAUSED $10,994.79 DAMAGE TO CAR. WE THEN FOUND OUT THAT THE TIRES WERE BALD AT 15,000 MILES AND THE BRAKES WERE VERY THIN. TOYOTA HAD JUST SERVICE THE CAR AT 13,000 MILES AND DID NOT TELL ME THE TIRES OR THE BRAKES WERE BAD. WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE STEERING TO LOCK UP. THE REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT TELL US EITHER DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. *TR
