I purchased a used 2000 Toyota Corolla from a dealership in the area in April 2013 - I found that when driving in excess of 65 mph, the car started shaking and controlling it was difficult - is there a possible recall of this year/make/model that was never fixed?

It appears as if the steering wheel is not in proper control and vehicle seems to wander at higher speeds. When making turn, at times the vehicle will turn a lot and sometimes it would turn in lot lesser I.e. I would not have proper judgment of how much vehicle would turn and this becomes very much evident when making turn at slightly higher speeds then 30-35 miles/hour.. I have done everything my dealer and my auto mechanics had suggested like changing the tires twice, replacing rotor, brake pads, getting alignment done etc. Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this complaint.

Single vehicle collision involving year 2000 Toyota Corolla. Occupant in vehicle indicates decedent driver made statement that he was unable to turn steering wheel thus causing collision. Independent witness following behind the vehicle indicates that vehicle drifted to the side of the road for long period of time immediately prior to collision consistent with a movement which would be caused by a locking and non-functioning steering wheel. We understand other year 2000 Toyota vehicles are being recalled with a defect involving a locking of the steering wheel. Collision caused one death (driver), two children were sent to the trauma center at uc davis hospital in sacramento California, one adult front passenger remains at uc davis hospital in sacramento California in serious condition. California highway patrol was notified of this information but appears not to be taking any action regarding inspection of vehicle. Vehicle and component are preserved intact near sacramento California and are available for inspection.

Vehicle was purchased on 7/1/05 and since then has been in the shop to be fixed 4 different times and due to go back in again on 9/20/05 for the same problems...I took the car in on 28 July 05 and told service dept that I thought it was the rack and pinion steering and the checked it said it was the sway bar links and would order.....went back in on the 8 Aug 05 and sway bar links put in and service dept said there was still a noise and needed it back when they had more time with it so it was taken back on 16 Aug 05 and at that time check engine light was on also so they supposedly replaced plugs as they said it was misfiring and they checked rack and pinion and said they found that it needed it needed steering rack so it was ordered and went back in on 24 Aug and check engine light was on again also and they said it was misfiring again....replaced plugs once more and supposedly replaced steering rack but since then I have still noticed the handling of car is not right in the steering as I feel like I have to constantly fight the steering wheel..very hard to handle on uneven and gravel roads and the check engine light came on once again and I have called them and they will look at it again on the 20 Sept 05...I do not feel safe in this vehicle...I have all paperwork involved with all the dates.

The steering suddenly became very heavy when my wife was driving. It would not turn left or right. We took it to nearest garage. That is Goodyear tyre service. They informed me that the power steering pump is not working and needs to be fixed. I called Toyota motor and logged a complaint. Case # 200507130358
