2013 TOYOTA COROLLA Steering Problems

On Monday, [XXX], I was at the CVS pharmacy drive through when the failure occurred. There was no accident and otherwise no warning before it happened. I attempted to pull out when I noticed the car was drifting and the steering was extremely stiff. I looked down to see that the airbag light and BRAKE light were both on. I coasted into a spot I happened to be aligned with. As I did, I felt the brakes and steering stiffen even more until they were almost 100% seized. (Kind of felt like I was fighting hydraulic fluid.) You guys are welcome to request to inspect the vehicle. I haven't been able to get it inspected, because the Toyota dealership wants me to pay a diagnostic fee to prove the airbag light came on due to the airbag assembly for them to be able to cover the work under the extended...

Steering wanders left to right like car is buffeted by wind. Difficult keeping in lane.

ON 11/19/20 THE CAR ACCELERATED AND BRAKES STUCK WHEN TURNING RIGHT AT ABOUT 5-10 MILES TO THE PARKING SPACE AT JALAPENOS RESTAURANT, 450 E 1ST ST TUSTIN CA 92780. CAR STOPPED BECAUSE THE BAR ON THE GROUND PREVENTED THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD! IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME, IT LEFT ME SHACKING!

I LEASED MY COROLLA ON 3/2013. I NOTICED THAT I HAD TROUBLE STEERING THE CAR RIGHT AWAY, BUT JUST THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T USED TO THE NEW ELECTRIC STEERING. ON THE FIRST 5000 MILE MAINTENANCE I ASKED THE ADVISER TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT AND TIRES CHECKED. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. 10,000 MILE MAINTENANCE I REQUESTED THE SAME BECAUSE THE CAR IS A CHORE TO CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD, SOMETIMES TO THE LEFT, AND THEN TO THE RIGHT. IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THE STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. THEY SAID THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING, AND THE CAR PERFORMS THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHER COROLLA'S. I CALLED BACK THE NEXT WEEK AND THEY THEY'LL HAVE TO BEGIN CHARGING ME NOW, BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WILL NOT ALLOW FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I'VE NEVER HAD...

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH THE CAR WANDERS TO THE LEFT. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IT KEPT DRIFTING LEFT. I HELD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT ON CENTER AND THE CAR KEPT DRIFTING LEFT. I HAD TO HOLD TIGHT TO THE STEERING AND WHEN I FELT IT DRIFTING LEFT, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING TO PREVENT FROM GOING INTO THE OTHER LANE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME DRIFTING / STEERING / WANDERING PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 2300 MILES ON IT AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA TELLS ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY REPAIRED AND WORKING AS DESIGNED. I DON'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT THIS I AM NOT GOING TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN.

CONSTANTLY TCB LOCKS FRONT RIGHT BRAKE AND PULL CAR TOWARDS THE DITCH. HAD TO BACK DOWN A HILL IN THE SNOW SEVERAL TIMES THAT WE HAVE DRIVEN OVER MANY YEARS.

NEW 2013 COROLLA L. 1ST TIME DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. HAD TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT STEERING, FELT LIKE WIND BUFFETING THE CAR. ANY LIGHT TOUCH ON STEERING WHEEL CAUSED CAR TO SHIFT DIRECTION. AT ONE POINT, THE CAR VEERED INTO ANOTHER LANE WITH JUST A VERY LIGHT TOUCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL. NOW I LEARN ABOUT A 2010 RECALL, & READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT FATIGUE FROM CONSTANTLY HANDLING THE STEERING WHEEL, UNEXPECTED DIRECTION CHANGES, AND EVEN ACCIDENTS. UNIMPRESSIVE! AND DANGEROUS! *TT

*STEERING* I WENT TO VISIT MY DAD & RUN SOME ERRANDS IN LA COUNTY ON JULY 6TH 2013. I RESIDE IN ORANGE COUNTY SO I HAD TO GET ON THE FREEWAY.

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...

THE VEHICLE WANDERS ON THE ROAD VERY DANGEROUSLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR THAT REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO KEEPING THE CAR CENTERED IN THE LANE LEAVING LESS TIME FOR HIM TO BE MONITORING THE TRAFFIC AROUND HIM. I HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOUND MYSELF CROSSING OVER INTO THE OTHER LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LUCKY FOR ME THERE HAS BEEN NO OTHER CAR DIRECTLY BESIDE ME WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED; OTHERWISE, I SUSPECT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE OTHER CAR. I SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY REPORTED SINCE 2009 AND WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR LAST MONTH I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE COMPLAINTS BY DEALER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO A THOROUGH REVIEW BY THE NHTSA. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA ON FRIDAY 4/12/13 AND NOTICED WHILE DRIVING OFF THE LOT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COCKED TO THE LEFT A LITTLE AND IF STRAIGHTENED THE CAR WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT. I FIGURED I WOULD TAKE IT IN NEXT WEEK TO GET FIXED BUT WASN'T TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT. THE NEXT NIGHT I WAS DRIVING FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 65-70 MPH AND FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT IN THE LANE. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS REALLY WINDY AND THE CAR WAS BEING PUSHED LEFT AND RIGHT EVEN IF I KEPT THE WHEEL STRAIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SALES MANAGER AND TOLD HIM I WAS TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK THE NEXT DAY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND THE SALES MANAGER TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH ME IN...

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...

I NOTICED A RATTLE SOUND AROUND STEERING WHEEL SO I TOOK COROLLA TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO FIND THE RATTLE. DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY WE'RE ADVISED TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. THE RATTLE SOUND IS GONE BUT SINCE THEY REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN THERE SEEMS TO BE OVER ROTATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL (MEANING I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL MORE THAN USUAL TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT HAND TURN), STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT RETURN TO THE CENTER LIKE NORMAL AND MAKES A RUBBING SOUND WHEN I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS 5-10 MPH. TECHNICIAN AND SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THEY FELT THE CAR DROVE FINE AND THAT THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
