TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE POWER STEERING OPERATED AS INTENDED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN LIGHT FLASHED ON INSTRUMENT PANEL PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 187,000.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHEN I AM BACKING UP MY CAR TO DO REVERSE PARKING. IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE. IT STARED WORKING WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD AND CAME BACK TO NORMAL. I SHOWED IT TO TOYOTA AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH STEERING.

MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS BEEN SO STIFF AND HARD TO MANEUVER. I WENT TO WORK FINE BUT AS I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE WORK, I TURNED THE CAR ON, SEEMS LIKE THE START WAS WEAK, AS I BACKED UP 2 FEET, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO HARD TO MANEUVER. I WENT TO PARK MY CAR BACK TO WHERE IT WAS FROM, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THEN ALL I HEAR WAS A CLICKING SOUND, ENGINE WON'T START. COWORKERS JUMPED THE CAR, IT STARTED, TOOK IT TO ADVANCE FOR DIAGNOSIS, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG ON THE ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY (BOTH LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD). THE CAR RAN LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. WENT TO WORK DRIVING THE CAR THE FOLLOWING DAY. IT WAS FINE, UNTIL I HAVE TO LEAVE WORK AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!! CAR'S ON PARK, STARTED THE CAR, BACKED UP, TURNED...

DIFFICULTY TURNING STEERING WHEEL. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT & ONTO A MAIN STREET AND AS I WAS DRIVING AND BEGINNING TO TURN RIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. I BECAME ANXIOUS BECAUSE I WAS HALFWAY ON THE MAIN STREET SO I USED BOTH HANDS TO TURN MY VEHICLE ONTO THE STREET AND LOOKED FOR THE NEAREST SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE I GOT ONTO A SIDE STREET MANY IF NOT ALL LIGHTS ON MY CENTER CONSOLE ILLUMINATED (BRAKE LIGHT, BATTERY, ABS, VCS, ENGINE LIGHT ETC.). I HAVE ABOUT 140000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE.

ON 08/30/2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SUBURBAN CITY STREET GOING 40MPH AND SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IS HADU LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT TURN. I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE THE CAR KEPT MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. I WAS AFRAID OF BEING HIT, BECAUSE I COULD GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. OUT OF DESPERATION AND FEAR, I GRABBED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND TRIED TO PULL DOWN TO MAKE THE STEERING WHEEL TURN...I WAS USING EXTREME FORCE, PULLING NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL FINALLY MOVED THE WHEELS TO THE LEFT SO I COULD MAKE THE LEFT HAND TURN. BUT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEELS AND CONTINUE MOVING STRAIGHT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V168000 (STEERING) IN JUNE OF 2019. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OURISMAN FAIRFAX TOYOTA (10441 FAIRFAX BOULEVARD, FAIRFAX, VA 22030, (703) 359-1010) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RECALLED PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. THERE WAS NO ESTIMATED DATE OF DELIVERY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

ELECTRIC STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND RETURNED HOME. CAR IS IN THE DRIVEWAY SINCE.

SUDDEN FAILURE OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING. CURRENT MILEAGE AROUND 116,000. HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30MIN AROUND 15-35MPH ON CITY STREETS WHEN STEERING SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AT ABOUT 15MPH WHILE I WAS MERGING LANES. BECAME INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. AFTER 3 STRAIGHT BLOCKS AND NO CARS IN THE ROAD, I HAD TO USE 3 LANES AND ALOT OF FORCE TO ATTEMPT TO TURN RIGHT IN ORDER TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND ON TO A SIDE STREET. I LET RUNNING CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHILE I TRIED TO CALL FOR HELP...THEN THE STEERING SUDDENLY STARTED TO WORK AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ON A FREEWAY.

STEERING THE COROLLA IS DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES INTENSE EFFORT. THE ISSUE IS THE CAR WONDERS/SWERVES AND IS THUS DIFFICULT TO KEEP TRACKING CORRECTLY. THIS IS FIRST ELECTRIC POWER STEERING VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED AND PERHAPS IT RESPOND DIFFERENTLY FROM HYDRAULIC STEERING BUT THIS STEERING ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS, TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD EVEN TO SCAN GAUGES WILL HAVE YOU STEERING OFF THE ROAD OR ADJACENT LANE. JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 1/19 WITH ONLY 70K SO IT'S IN MINT CONDITION AND NO ACCIDENT HISTORY OR EVIDENCE TO BLAME.

SUDDEN FAILURE OF MY CAR'S POWER STEERING: I WAS DRIVING AT ABT 50-55 MILES PER HOUR AT I-880 GOING NORTH, I WAS MAKING A LANE CHANGE BECAUSE MY EXIT WAS APPROACHING, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I LOST MY POWER STEERING, MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME SUPER HARD TO MOVE OR TURN, AND I ALMOST HIT THE REAR-RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH WAS AT THE SAME LANE. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANE BUT IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL FOR COLLISION-ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS). SUCH EPS SHOULD HAVE A BACK UP SYSTEM, OR SUCH FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ALL OF A SUDDEN--IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. WITHOUT A BACK UP SYSTEM, SUCH SUDDEN FAILURE COULD RESULT IN FATAL ACCIDENT. IT WAS TOO SCARY, PANICKY, N STRESSFUL FOR ME. THEN, WHEN MAKING A LEFT N A RIGHT...

POWER STEERING HAS NOISY EITHER LEFT AND RIGHT TURN ALL THE TIMES.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT SEEMS TO JUST LOCK UP AND DOESN'T WANT TO TURN, AND I HAVE TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET TURN THE CORNER FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IT'S LOCKING UP WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALSO. I READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE ON OTHER 2010 TOYOTA COROLLAS.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA S ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF OVER 50 MPH IT DOES NOT STAY STRAIGHT. IT REQUIRES ALOT OF STRENGTH TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BEING MOVED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT BY WINDS. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO STIFF TO TURN SOMETIMES. I HAVE DONE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND PUT ON NEW TIRES RECENTLY BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I GET VERY TIRED AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS JUST MAINTAINING IN MY OWN LANE. THE DEALER'S ARE NOT MUCH HELPFUL AT ALL WITH THIS. I'VE READ ONLINE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE STEERING. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS SOON BECAUSE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO SEVERAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY DO A QUICK CHECK AND SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS WEEK I HAVE LEFT CAR AT FLORENCE TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT ALL WEEK TO TRY AND FIND PROBLEM. HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. MY DAUGHTER SAYS IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN NOW IF ACCELERATING WHILE TRYING TO TURN AND MORE OFTEN IN WET DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR HAS ELECTRICALLY ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM. *TR

WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO SUPERMARKET ENTRANCE, HER STEERING LOCKED UP ON HER. SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR SINCE MIDDLE OF JUNE 2014 WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR HER. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTAS IN THE PAST, AND HAVE KNOWN THEM TO BE RELIABLE VEHICLES. THIS INCIDENCE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THIS TIME, AND TOYOTA APPARENTLY KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. THEY EVEN RECOGNIZE IT AS BEING SOME FORM OF ELECTRONIC POWERING STEERING ISSUE, WHOSE COST IS UPWARDS OF 1400.00 TO REPAIR. I AM COMPLETELY DUMBFOUNDED BY THIS (CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE), THAT IS SUPPOSE TO COST ME, THE CONSUMER ANOTHER 1400.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE READ OF THIS ISSUE IN PREVIOUS LOGS, NEWS REPORTS, AND COMPLAINTS. WHY HAS TOYOTA OR NHTSA NOT FORCED THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE NOW THAT THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE, AND DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO...

WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR OVER TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WAS FINE. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME 99 DOLLARS AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH TURNED UP NOTHING. ASSUMING THAT THE CAR WAS OK, AND THIS STEERING WHEEL LOCK WAS JUST A ONE TIME THING I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR AS NORMAL. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STILL COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS STEERING LOCK KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME. THE WHEEL LOCKS, I TURN OFF THE CAR, I TURN IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING IS FINE. MY BIGGEST FEAR...

I GOT A LETTER FOR SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY RECALL..WHEN I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER(2100 W MAPLE LAWN DR), HE SAID DON'T HAVE PARTS AND DOES NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS SPIRAL CABLE RECALL FIX. I WASTED MY 2HRS OF TIME BY TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC. NEED TO KNOW, WHEN DEALER WILL GET PARTS AND FIX IT. *TR

MY WIFE USUALLY DRIVES THE CAR AND HAS COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE RIDE AND STEERING OF THE CAR. ON THIS DAY I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN I NOTICED THAT CAR DOES FEEL LOOSE AND CAN BECOME HARD TO CONTROL. I AM A SENIOR MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND WORK ON LOADS AND DYNAMICS IN AEROSPACE SYSTEMS. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT HAS A POOR STEERING SYSTEM, AND BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH IN A DEAD BAND AND BECOMES HARD TO CONTROL. THIS COULD BE AN EXPLANATION WHY THE FRONT TIRES WEAR AT AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH RATE. *TR
