STEERING
THIS VEHICLE WONDERS IN THE LANE AT 70 MPH AND WHEN THE WIND IS BLOWING IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP IN THE LANE. THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE VERY UNSAFE IN THE RAIN. I DRIVE VEHICLES FOR A LIVING AND THIS IS THE WORSE DRIVING VEHICLE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. TEST DRIVES UNDER 55 MPH WILL NOT REVEAL THE PROBLEM. FOLLOWING A TRACTOR TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE WILL FEEL LIKE SOMEONE IS SHAKING YOU IN YOUR SEAT. SOME TURBULENCE ARE EXPECTED BUT THIS IS OVERWHELMING. BEING PUSHED FROM CENTER LINE TO SIDE LINE WILL MAKE YOU NERVOUS TRYING TO HANG ON. IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON TAKING A TRIP, BE PREPARED TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL THE ENTIRE TIME. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS FACTORY SPECS AND THERE IS NOT CORRECTION NEEDED. SHOP FOREMAN AT TOYOTA TOLD ME IT IS A BIG PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA SAYS IT IS FACTORY SPECS SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAVE OWNED A TOYOTA SINCE 1974 AND HAVE NEVER HAD ONE THAT DROVE THIS WAY. PROBLEMS ARE ON THE WAY WITH THIS STEERING I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT. FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN SHOULD NOT TAKE THEM ON VACATION IN THIS VEHICLE. I DROVE ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS A MIRROR IMAGE OF THIS ONE AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THIS IS A TOYOTA COROLLA LE EDITION. *TR
