NHTSA Complaint #10521078 — 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA

I BOUGHT MY 2013 COROLLA NEW SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME. DRIVING IT HOME, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO NOTICE THAT IT WAS VERY TWITCHY OR DARTY WHEN TRYING TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. KEEPING THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT WAS A CONSTANT CHORE- MY PREVIOUS 2005 COROLLA WAS EXCELLENT IN THAT REGARD- NO PROBLEMS, JUST LIKE EVERY CAR OR TRUCK I'VE DRIVEN IN MY LIFE, GOING BACK TO LATE 1960'S DESIGNS TO MY 2005 COROLLA. THAT WEEK, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO FIX WHAT I FIGURED WAS A MIS-ADJUSTED TOE ON THE FRONT. THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS WITHIN SPEC AND THAT IT DROVE JUST LIKE THE OTHER COROLLAS ON THE LOT. THROUGH SOME INTERNET SEARCHING, I LEARNED THAT MY PREVIOUS 2005 COROLLA HAD HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST STEERING AND THAT THIS NEW ONE HAD ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA WOULD RELEASE THIS DESIGN INTO PRODUCTION- MY TOYOTA LOYALTY HAS BEEN SHATTERED. WORSE, THERE IS A TSB TO FIX IT, BUT ONLY IF ONE OWNS A 2009 OR 2010. YET MY 2013 IS STILL PLAGUED WITH THIS ISSUE AS TOYOTA DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING IN PRODUCTION AS FAR AS I CAN TELL BY HOW MY 2013 DRIVES AND THE INFORMATION I HAVE COME ACROSS ON THE INTERNET. *TR
