STEERING
2010 TOYOTA COROLLA - THE CAR HAS POOR STEERING. IT DRIFTS ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION LIKE I AM DRIVING IN HEAVY WINDS. I BROUGHT IT INTO A TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAY I NEED TO GET USED TO ELCTRONIC ASSISTED STEERING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW, AND I CANNOT "GET USED TO IT".

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN BRAKING ENGINE SPEEDS UP, HAVING THE IMPRESSION OF LOSS OF CONTROL. THE CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED IF MY FOOT IS RESTING ON THE EXTREME RIGHT EDGE OF THE BRAKE PAD AND THEN APPLYING THE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. WHEN BRAKING, MY SHOE COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSING IT SLIGHTLY, SPEEDING UP THE ENGINE. THE DRIVER'S IMMEDIATE REACTION IS TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, EXACERBATING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS EASILY SOLVED BY INCREASING THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR SIMPLY BY CHANGING THE THICKNESS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL PAD. I HAVE TESTED MY TOYOTA AVALON 1998 FOR THIS CONDITION AND FIND THAT THERE IS NO SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THAT VEHICLE. *TR
