2010 Toyota Corolla Steering

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEELING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE PARKED, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE NEW COROLLA HAS NO FEEDBACK OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT STAY CENTERED IN ROAD AND WANDERS AROUND. IT HAS TO BE CORRECTED REPEATEDLY MAKING LONG TRIPS VERY TIRING. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY CENTERED THE STEERING AND ADDED A UPGRADE CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN ILL FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND UNABLE TO USE THE CAR AND HAD OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE ME. THEY ALSO HAD STEERING PROBLEMS. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THE CAR IS A DANGER TO ANY ONE DRIVING IT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TOYOTA 8/2015 AND THEY SAID THE WANDERING WAS NORMAL FOR THE MODEL USING ELECTRIC STEERING. I HAD TECHNICIAN DO A 8 MILE TEST DRIVE TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM. THEY REPORTED TO ME THERE WAS NO FIX REQUIRED BY THE GOVERNMENT AT THIS TIME AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. PRESENT MILEAGE 17500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE TURNING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE WHEELS CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,411.

WHEN I TRIED TO PARK THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. SEVERAL TIMES I TRIED TO PARK, AND I DID WITH DIFFICULTIES, FOR THE FRONT AND BACK. LATER THE STEERING WAS OK AND DROVE THE CAR. WHEN I TRIED TO PARK THE CAR IN MY HOUSE HAPPENED AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME WAS EASY, BUT I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED: I PUT IN NEUTRAL AND MOVED THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN I TURNED LEFT THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN; I DROVE 100 MTS AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN TO ANY SIDE; I RETURNED TO MY HOUSE AND WAS TERRIBLE TO PARK, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE STEERING AND WAS UNABLE TO REMAIN STRAIGHT WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A RE-TUNED POWER STEERING COMPUTER ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE RAMP TO THE RIGHT, STEERING WOULD NOT TURN BACK STRAIGHT AND CONTINUED TURNING TO THE RIGHT, BRAKED HARD AND CAR STOPPED ON RIGHT SHOULDER OF RAMP TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED STEERING WENT BACK TO WORKING. 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 PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. IF SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN HERE, I AM NOT SURE WHAT MERITS THAT DISTINCTION. SIGNED, A VERY UPSET PARENT AND ONCE LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER. *TR

EPS LIGHT CAME ON CAR CUT OFF BRAKES STOP WORKING

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ERRONEOUSLY VEER INTO THE LEFT LANE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE BUT HAD DIFFICULTIES KEEPING THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE DUE TO IT CONSTANTLY STEERING TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V168000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

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 IS THAT THE WHEEL WILL LOCK IN A PLACE WHERE I DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON TO GET THE WHEEL UNLOCKED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY IN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. THE PART ALONE IS ABOUT 1400 DOLLARS. I KNOW THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT TO DEALERS ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS COVERED. I DON'T THINK ITS FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT IS TOYOTA'S FAULT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA'S AND FOR THAT MATTER ALMOST ALL CAR COMPANIES ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. WHY ARE THESE SYSTEM STILL ALLOWED TO BE USED. THE ONLY ONE TO SUFFER IN THE CONSUMER. ANYWAY, MY CAR IS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IS THERE IS A RECALL OR A SERVICE BULLETIN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I'VE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NOW FOR ALMOST 5 YRS. SINCE THE DAY I GOT INTO IT, THE THING WALKS THE HIGHWAY (40 MPH+) CONTINUALLY. ON A TRIP OVER TWO HOURS, YOU START TO GET EXHAUSTED FROM THE CONTINUOUS WEAVING BACK AND FORTH, LIKE A SIDE WIND KEEPS ALTERNATING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TO LEFT TO RIGHT ECT... ALIGNMENTS, NEW TIRES, ECT CHANGES NOTHING... SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH EITHER THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT END, OR THE STEERING. I JUST WANT TO ADD MY NAME TO THE COMPLAINTS, BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY PROVEN TO BE FAULTY AND KILLS MULTIPLE VICTIMS. AFTER 70K, TIRED OF A VEHICLE WHICH WEARS ON ONE'S NERVES... *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70 MPH) VEHICLE CAN'T BE DRIVEN ON A STRAIGHT LINE. AS SOON AS YOU THINK IT IS GOING STRAIGHT, IT VEERS EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT FORCING CONSTANT CORRECTIONS OF THE STEERING WHEEL. SOMETIMES YOU FIND YOURSELF MICRO CORRECTING IT FROM SIDE TO SIDE TRYING TO FIND THE CENTER. I CAN CATEGORIZE THIS ISSUE AS VERY DISTRACTING AS TOO MUCH ATTENTION IS BEING DIVERTED ONLY TO KEEP THIS CAR INSIDE SAFE DISTANCES FROM OTHER CARS. *TR

AT SPEEDS OVER 45 THE VEHICLE WANDERS IN LANES AND GIVES A "OUT OF CONTROL" FEELING ON THE FREEWAY. MORE NOTICEABLE ON CONCRETE ROADWAYS. THIS HAS BEEN AN EVER INCREASING PROBLEM SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM DEALER RIVER VIEW AUTO SALES IN LAKE HAVASU ARIZONA ON 09-19-2013 WITH AN ESTIMATED 75000 MILES (ORIGINAL ODO READING NOT DISCLOSED ON DEALER DOCUMENTS). *TR

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT AS OF THIS DATE HOWEVER THERE COULD BE IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE. MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A GLITCH IN THE POWER STEERING AND TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT IN THE UNITED STATES. I HAVE SEEN AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER REGARDING TOYOTA RECALLING 185,000 VEHICLES IN JAPAN AND EUROPE DUE TO A POWER STEERING GLITCH. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TOYOTA IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT MY CAR AND MY CONCERN BUT THEY JUST TAKE MY INFORMATION AND SAY THAT THEY'LL PUT IT ON RECORD. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. I KNOW OF ANOTHER CUSTOMER OF VILLAGE CADILLAC AND TOYOTA IN HOMOSASSA, FLORIDA (WHICH IS WHERE MY CAR WAS SERVICED) HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY TOYOTA EXPRESSED A CONCERN ABOUT THE POWER STEERING. I DO KNOW THAT TOYOTA CHANGED THE POWER STEERING TO AN ELECTRICAL TYPE POWER STEERING IN LATE 2009 BUT CHANGED IT BACK TO THEIR OLD SYSTEM BY LATE 2010, THIS TELLS ME THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND THIS IS 2013 AND THERE'S BEEN NO RECALL YET. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT DID NOT CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,426.

I RECENTLY PURCHASE A 2010 COROLLA. THE CAR DOES NOT HANDLE WELL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR VEERS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WITH A NEED TO CORRECT THE POSITION OF THE CAR. GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAVING YOUR CAR SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE IS SCARY AND IT MAKES YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN CRASH AT ANY MOMENT IF YOU DON'T CORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL FAST ENOUGH. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY CARS STEERING FEELS AS IF IT WERE A WINDY DAY, IT TAKES A LOT OF CORRECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. IT HAS EVEN SWERVED TO OTHER LANES BEFORE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ANY INJURIES OCCUR. *TR

HIGHWAY DRIVING IS LIKE THE WIND IS BLOWING HARD AND BLOWING THE CAR ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE CAR WANDERS AROUND THE ROAD AND MAKES STEERING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WAS EXITING A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME ABNORMALLY HEAVY AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS HOWEVER NO ASSISTANCE WAS GIVEN. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

WE PURCHASED A USED CERTIFIED 2010 COROLLA ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND SOON DISCOVERED THAT IT TOOK CONSTANT ADJUSTMENTS IN STEERING TO KEEP THE CAR TRACKING STRAIGHT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY SERIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR'S STEERING AS WELL AS A "FIX" OFFERED BY TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING COMPUTER ASSEMBLY (T-SB-0140-10). WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE NEW ONE PUT IN. THE DAY AFTER IT WAS DONE, WE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 230 MILES ROUND TRIP, ALMOST ALL OF IT ON THE FREEWAY. WE WERE PLEASED TO FIND THAT THE STEERING WAS GOOD AND THE CAR TRACKED STRAIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER, WE DID THE SAME TRIP AND IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. THE STEERING WAS SUDDENLY FAR WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FIX. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE HYDROPLANING, DRIFTING, AND FLOATING SIDE TO SIDE, AND I HAD TO CONCENTRATE FULLY ON KEEPING THE CAR IN MY LANE. IT FELT MUCH LIKE DRIVING ON A WET, SLIPPERY SURFACE. I DROVE AWHILE BEFORE EXITING THE FREEWAY SO MY WIFE COULD TAKE IT FOR A "TEST DRIVE". SHE SAID IT WAS DOWNRIGHT SCARY. THEN MY COLLEGE-AGE SON GAVE IT A WHIRL. HE AGREED ABOUT THE SCARY PART, SAYING IT WAS COMPLETELY WRONG. HE FINALLY PULLED INTO A REST STOP AND WE TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT EIGHTY MILES SINCE WE HAD BEEN SWITCHING "TEST" DRIVERS WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. WHEN WE RESUMED DRIVING FROM THE REST AREA, THE STEERING WAS FINE. IT WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN TEN MINUTES BEFORE. THAT WAS THE END OF OUR TWO-HANDED, WHITE KNUCKLE DRIVING SESSION. WE CONTINUED TO OUR DESTINATION AND THEN BACK HOME WITH NORMAL STEERING. WE'VE OWNED TOYOTAS SINCE 1978. THIS IS OUR FIFTH COROLLA. WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN OUR LIVES, IN ANY CAR. IN OUR CASE, THIS CAME OUT OF THE BLUE, RIGHT AFTER WE THOUGHT THINGS WERE GOOD. THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE COROLLA STEERING THAT DEMANDS A REAL FIX. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED STEERING ISSUES AT ABOUT 39000 MILES. I AM FINDING THAT THE STEERING IS OVERSENSITIVE. YOU MUST CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS, IT TAKES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND STAY IN YOUR LANE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY ALSO GET THE ATTENTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSUMING THAT ONE IS DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. I HAVE OWNED THREE COROLLAS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. TIRES ARE WEARING NORMALLY HOWEVER. *

I NOW HAVE 47,000 MILES ON MY COROLLA.TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND APPROACHED THE SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN. I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT OTHER THAN TO SAY THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AT ALL FOR ABOUT ONE QUARTER OF A MILE. I HAVE SINCE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND CAN AGREE THAT IT WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS HYDROPLANING AND IT WAS VERY SCARY. THE CAR ACTUALLY PROCEEDED DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO RIGHT LANES AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OR I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. ONCE I SLOWED DOWN, CONTROL RESUMED AND I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND WAS VERY SHAKEN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA AND THE RESPONSE FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS OR RECALLS, BUT HE WOULD CHECK IT OUT (REALLY?). HE LATER CALLED AND SAID HE FOUND A BRAKE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING WITH THE STEERING. NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS ANSWER SINCE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND THERE IS A PROBLEM. HE BLEW IT OFF AS WIND OR PERHAPS THE ROAD CONDITION. IT WAS NOT WINDY AND I WAS ON A SMOOTH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. NOT MEANING TO BE RUDE, BUT WHY DOES THIS INVESTIGATION SHOW CLOSED WITH 298 COMPLAINTS? WHY ARE THOSE OF US COMPLAINING NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY? THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM STARTED WITH JUST A FEW AND ESCALATED. WHY CAN WE NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM NOW BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED? AND LAST, WHY DOES A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED HIGH PRIORITY TAKE SO LONG TO GET SOMETHING DONE? I AM IN SALES SO I DRIVE A LOT OF MILES AND HAVE OWNED SEVERAL DIFFERENT VEHICLES THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER BEEN CONCERNED REGARDING MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS AROUND ME WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE DUE TO AN ISSUE I CANNOT CONTROL SUCH AS THIS. *TR
