Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 M/HR ON I-95 AND NOTICED MY CAR VEERING FIRST TO THE LEFT THEN TO THE RIGHT. I WAS PUZZLED BY THIS AND LOOKED OVER TO NOTICE THAT TREES WERE NOT MOVING, I.E., IT DID NOT FEEL WINDY OUTSIDE. THIS WAS A VERY PECULIAR INCIDENT THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR ABOUT 3-4 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. I LATER HEARD ON THE NEWS THE RECALL OF COROLLAS FOR THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE. THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED A TEST MODEL SIMULATION AND IT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS MY IMAGINATION BUT IT CERTAINLY DID NOT FEEL THAT WAY WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR
