Car pulled suddenly in opposite direction on 4 separate occasions when making turns at reasonable speeds. On another occasion, car pulled forcefully to the right when breaking. Accidents were avoided in all instances, even though the car spun out of control momentarily. Brought the car into the dealer three times and they could not diagnose problem. As the problem was intermittent and unpredictable, they were unable to pick it up on test drives. Replaced front tires, had brakes checked, but happened again. Just had the rear tires replaced and alignment done, but really feel that the problem is in the steering. How can I be sure the car is safe?

Check engine light came on 11/14/10 and car started slam shifting, and died on freeway. The car started again, and I took it to xx in moreno valley next day. Dealer said faulty ECU (dtc P2716) and the part must be ordered. I asked if they could provide a loaner car because I don't feel safe driving the car with a faulty ECM. I was told part will most likely be in Tuesday or Wednesday. The dealer said a loaner car would not be provided unless the car totally stop operating. I live in san bernardino and work in moreno valley, approx 26 miles one way. I have aaa towing basic for 6 miles. I would usually purchase aaa southern ca automobile club towing for up to 100 miles, but because I bought a new reliable Toyota, I just got the basic towing in case the battery died. I don't have towing to get the car to moreno valley in case it completely stops running. I'm worried about safety and logistics! I don't trust this Toyota Corolla. Dealer will not keep the car and give me a loaner until the part arrives. Will Toyota be responsible if this car stalls again in traffic and causes an accident" will Toyota be responsible if this car needs to be towed to the dealer? will Toyota be responsible if the transmission becomes damaged from the hard shifting? will Toyota be responsible if the car catches fire from faulty electrical wiring" this Corolla has had brake and steering problems. Brake fluid always low, although brakes verified as repaired and okay by technician. The wheel bearing on the front driver's side wheel is going bad and the tire will not hold air. The tire has been examined and is good. I smell electrical burning once in awhile. The belt tensioner pulley bearing bad. Occasionally, smell antifreeze, which indicates a leaking head gasket. Wind noise, windows creak when moved up/down. The locks squeak. The interior rattles. The paint job is runny, weld points are sloppy. Car stalling, slam shifting, then cutting off. The car has a little over 50,000 miles.

2007 Toyota Corolla sometimes won't start. Turns over fast with starter, but won't start. Then, the next try, it does. May be related to the same problem as stalling. Also the steering feels too stiff, makes it hard to keep in the lane when it is windy.

My steering wheel has been locking up in my 2007 Toyota Corolla le. It will lock and not allow me to turn the key in the ignition, and I have to lift the steering wheel, and hope it will then allow me to turn the key. Thus far, it has not locked while driving, but I am afraid it could. It sometimes happens once a week, or as often as five times a day! this began July 14, 2010 and continues today August 24, 2010. The Toyota dealership will be replacing the locking cylinder as soon as the ordered parts come in because they believe that is the problem.

I own a 2007 Toyota Corolla. If it is windy on the freeway when I drive, I get blown all over the road. I have literally been blown of onto the shoulder of the road or into the other lane. Passing semi-trucks is also extremely dangerous in windy conditions. I look for similar movement in other small cars while I am driving and I do not see them being blown all over the road so I think that this must be a problem special to the Corolla. I is extremely scary when I'm traveling the posted speed limit on the highway and my car gets completely blown off of the road. The steering is so loose that I feel like I have very little control when being blown around by wind, and in reality, I probably do have very little control. Please look into this. I would be willing to place a bet that there have been fatal crashes involving Corollas under windy conditions.

I currently lease a 2007 Toyota Corolla which commenced on February 23, 2007. I have experienced an issue with the steering since day one. It is as follows: Depending on the level of road unevenness, the car drifts left or right and requires nearly constant correction and then, over-correction just to maintain a straightforward course. The car does not weave erratically all over the road, but it is just simply a chore to drive, especially in windy conditions or in the draft of a passing Transport truck. I was very concerned with the steering performance as being a safety issue at the outset. I approached my Toyota dealer, and then Toyota Canada with my problem but it was quite simply shrugged off. I have since "learned" how to drive this car in the past three years because I have been unable to rid myself of the lease. I have suffered no accidents or injuries because of this car. My purpose in reporting this complaint at this time is to inform you that the Toyota Corolla steering issues date back at least as early as the 2007 model year. Indeed, at the time in 2007, after doing some research on the internet, I found I was only one of many who experienced this same problem. My hope is that my experience may be of some use to you.
