Steering Is Loose problems of the 2010 Toyota Corolla

I have a 2010 Corolla s model with 44k miles on it . My wife comutes with this vehicle every day for work. I drive the vehicle on the weekends when we travel out of town. Last week while I was driving my wifes car I noticed that the steering felt loose and unresponsive at low and especially at freeway speeds. It almost feels like the car is hydroplaning. I asked my wife if she had noticed any difference in the car since we have owned it. She confirmed with me that the steering did feel significantlly different and descibed the feeling exactlly like I had around the time I noticed it as well. I then got on the internet to do some research on this problem and I seen that there were many 2010 Corolla owners that had the same problem as I. All research seems to to be linked with the electric power steering. I now feel the car is unsafe to put my family in especially since I had saw that there was 8 accidents and 11 injuries and 168 complaints linked to this problem on the (NHTSA) website.

When driving my 2010 Toyota Corolla on the highway, the steering will suddenly drift from side to side giving the sensation that I am hydroplaning or that my tires are bald, even though the roads are completely dry. Luckily, nothing has happened yet, but it is very disconcerting and very scary. I could easily see something happening if I were to overcompensate and steer to the other direction. This would be easy to do because the steering feels so loose. I have not done anything yet. It's such a new car that I'm not sure what I can do - until something actually fails, which would be too late. I really hope NHTSA researches this issue immediately.

On my 2010 Toyota Corolla, at highway speeds (65-70 mph), the vehicle will feel as though the steering is loose. . . Like I'm going over a metal-grate bridge, where the car moves sideways on it's own. I drive approximately 100 highway miles a day, and this is a daily occurrence. I brought the vehicle to Toyota on 3/4/10, but they claim they do not feel the steering problem. I don't feel it was sufficiently tested, as they did not do any highway driving. They've dismissed my fears and will not be correcting the problem.

I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla and at highway speeds the car "drifts" , at lower speeds it does not occur. This issue is very much a concern as at expressway speeds it seems the steering is very loose, effecting the stability and control of the vehicle.

Bought a 2010 Corolla on 12/26/09 with goodyear eagle LS 2 tires. Upon driving home my steering was weaving left to right felt as though I was driving on ice and/or hydroplaning. Toyota regional rep came from corporate, looked at the steering 2 wks ago. Steering improved until driving in rain on 4/4/10 the steering became loose and the car was weaving left to right and I was once again hydroplaning at 65 mph goodyear man said when traction is lost to the road, the vehicle will hydroplane. (these tires are dangerous) the consumer stated it was very difficult to control the steering. The vehicle would wander into the next lane. The consumer also stated the vehicle did not always stop in time when the brakes were applied. The consumer was told the vehicle was equipped with abs and they were much better and safer.

2010 Toyota Corolla s drifts to the left and right at speeds above 40 mph making car require constant adjustment to stay in lane. Longer trips are exhausting as the car has to be actively steered at all times to keep from wandering out of the lane. Steering feels loose and wheel needs to be turned more than 1/6 of a turn to correct vehicle.
