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?.
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.
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.
While driving 45-50 mph on freeway vehicle became erratic. Steering became very loose. Please provide any further information.
