NHTSA Complaint #10504320 — 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA

WHEN DRIVING AT 55+ MPH THE STEERING WANDERS. IT WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT BY ITSELF. VERY HARD TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT WITHIN MY LANE. I JUST BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW, SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX IT. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I TOLD MY SALESMAN AND WE DECIDED TO DRIVE SOME OTHER VEHICLES TO SEE IF IT WAS JUST THE COROLLA OR NOT. I DROVE A CAMRY AND AVALON WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, THE SALESMAN DROVE MY COROLLA AND WAS SHOCKED IMMEDIATELY AT HOW MUCH IT WANDERED AND HOW HARD IT WAS TO KEEP IN HIS LANE. SAME DAY, SAME ROAD CONDITIONS, SAME WIND. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS NEW EPS (ELECTRIC-ASSIST POWER STEERING SYSTEM) ON THE COROLLAS SINCE 2009 TO CURRENT. STILL NO RESOLUTIONS THAT I HAVE FOUND. I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME AN EVEN TRADE ON ANY VEHICLE, NOT EVEN A USED. IT IS ONLY 1 MONTH OLD AND HE WANTED TO DOCK ME $4000 DOLLARS OFF WHAT I PAID FOR IT! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. I GUESS I WILL TRY AND CHECK ON OUR STATE LEMON LAWS TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. *TR
