general problems of the 2015 Toyota Corolla

I am not sure exactly what happened but their was indeed an internal systems failure of some sort that definitely needs to be resolved and the public needs to be made aware of. I lost control of my vehicle do to some circumstance beyond my control and I was nearly killed an a father and son as well. I hope the government gets to the bottom of this and makes all humans aware of this threat to our way of life and human's lifes in general. Regardless I was driving and minding my own business and causing no harm to anyone when I lost control of my vehicle and it swerved to the right in an intersection causing an accident. Please utilize our tax money properly and make sure the people responsible for this are held accountable in accordance with the law and make the public aware of who they are. I thank you for your assistance in making sure humans and businesses are held accountable under the law of the laws of the country in relations to vehicle safety.

Rack and pinion steering rack failure. Car only has 119k miles. Diagnosed by peterson Toyota on 08/16/2024. Repair cost is $2,000. 00! rack and pinion failure created very tight steering characteristic and banging, knocking noise.

The top of the steering wheel has a bulge or is buckled. I took it to a Toyota direct shop in columbus ohio and was told it could be due to the constant glare from the sun. It makes it hard to drive the car. I noticed it around October 2023.

Steering wheel locked up and hole operating the vehicle and the key broke in the ignition.

When I push the start button on my vehicle it takes a minute to start. It doesn't start up right away like it used to. Then the steering wheel becomes locked making it hard to steer. When I drive the vehicle the wheel then gets loose.

Power steering hard when I turn engine on after about ten second is normal.

Jerking front prior perhaps twice on the day in question I reversed to go in a friend house and the car went a full half circle and end in the neighbor hose next door. My car ended in to her fence where a swing was there. Due the defective her property needs to be fix as soon as possible had the car towed to dick dyer killian road today. I have witnesses to verify how the car did a half moon.

I purchased a used 2015 Toyota Corolla with about 27,085miles, in June 2016. Three months later, the steering wheel locked while driving down the street. I could not turn the wheel and the brakes would not work. By having no control of the car, it crashed into a parked vehicle. There was minor damage to the parked vehicle. The Corolla had major damage because all the air bags were deployed. This occured three blocks from home, on a city street. No speeding was involved and no citations were issued by the police.

Electric power steering is extremely over boosted. I have to struggle to maintain a straight line at speeds excess of 50 mph as any input results in extreme angle. Difficult to driver at highway speeds, even with cruise control. Please fix this!.

My teenage licensed daughter was driving down resler, on a four lane street, she was on the second lane to the right and she made a slight right turn following the lane, while approaching the intersection with cloudview and resler the steering wheel got stuck. She didn't have control over the front wheels. The steering wheel was if it had a lock on it and she started to verge to her right and she pressed on the breaks, but she still merged to the right enough to hit the car next to her causing an accident. Nobody was hurt, but the car was badly damaged.

The steering wheel locked up and failed to rotate while I was making a left turn in a busy intersection. Using my full weight I was able to turn the wheel and thankfully oncoming traffic avoided hitting me. Toyota towed my car to the dealership. I have owned the vehicle for only two months, and it was purchased with less than 10 miles. After a day of testing, I was told that an electrical item malfunctioned. The piece has to be replaced and is on backorder. It was an extremely scary incident and unbelievable considering the age of my vehicle.

Car drifts toward the left thus causes constant correction especially at highway speeds of 30 and above. Controlling this is very tiring and more importantly can cause an accident with the car in the other lane. With this distraction it leaves one not giving other safety observations as much time to monitor. . Toyota has been aware of this in older model years but has failed to address it since not enough owners cars or affected by this drifting or simply thru apathy. As I understand it, it is caused by a defective ecu unit that is part of the steering unit. My prediction is that nothing will come out of this complaints as with other owners have reported on google.
