Toyota Corolla electrical problems

WHILE DRIVING A 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE THE STEERING WHEEL UNEXPECTEDLY JERKED AWAY FROM MY CONTROL. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEM IS MAKING STRANGE SOUNDS, SUCH AS HISSING, PINGS AND CRACKS. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND MECHANIC STATED IT IS PROBABLY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HE ALSO STATED THAT TOYOTA WILL PROBABLY RECALL CAR DUE TO COMPLAINTS WITH POWERSTEERING. DUE TO THE ABOVE ISSUES AND RECENT RECALLS ON MY CAR, MY WIFE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND SECURE IN CAR. WE ARE SCARED OF DYING LIKE OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE IN THE PAST. WE WOULD LIKE A FULL REFUND OF $17, 209.97 FROM TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA. *TR

MY CAR ACCELERATED ON REVERSE WHEREIN INSTEAD OF MAKING A 90 DEGREES ANGLE THE CAR WENT SWIPING IN 180 DEGREES. BOTH TIMES WAS RAINY. BOTH TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS & THE WINDSHIELD WIPER & THE BACK WINDOW DEFOGGER IS ON. DURING THIS BACK UP WHEN I TURN MY HEAD , THE REAR BACK WINDSHIELD WAS VERY BLURRY & TWICE THIS HAPPENS TO ME. BOTH TIMES I WAS MAKING A REVERSE LEFT SIDE CORNER. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE LEFT BACKLIGHT IS DAMAGED. I PUT THINGS TOGETHER THAT MAYBE THE SAME THING HAD HAPPEN TO THE FIRST OWNER OF MY CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN IN ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR 18 YEARS, WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE HIGHWAYS BUT THE ONLY TWO ACCIDENT I HAVE WITH SO FAR IS ON THIS CAR IN MY OWN BACKYARD, ON THE SAME EXACT MOTION, SAME WEATHER CONDITION. THE CAR WAS ON REVERSE. THE TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED WAS VERY IDENTICAL TO EACH OTHER.

TOYOTA COROLLA S 2010 [XXX] WITH EXTRA STABILIZER BAR KIT, PURCHASED 11-30-09 WITH DELIVERY IN 12/09. 1) APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE ,THE CAR STARTING TO VEER SHARPLY RIGHT THEN LEFT WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS/IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL REQUIRING A TIGHT GRIP ON THE WHEEL. IT FEELS LIKE STRONG WINDS ARE MOVING THE CAR BUT WINDS ARE ABSENT AND ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL. THIS EVENT COMES AND GOES UNEXPECTEDLY, GENERALLY LASTS THE DURATION OF MY COMMUTE ONCE STARTED, SOMETIMES OCCURS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE BUT NOT ALWAYS, SOMETIMES OCCURS AFTER RAPID BRAKING. IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE AN ALIGNMENT OR BALANCE PROBLEM, THE CAR DARTS FROM ONE END OF THE LANE, TO THE MEDIAN OF THE LANE ON ITS OWN. ON THIS DATE 2-24-10 MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FILLED THE TIRES, AND MADE A SLIGHT CHANGE TO THE LEFT ALIGNMENT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED "THIS COULD BE A MATTER OF PERSONAL PREFERENCES" REGARDING HOW I FELT THE CAR DROVE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE TOYOTA MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME TODAY THAT THEY UNDERSTAND "THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO DIRECTION ON HOW TO REPAIR IT." WHEN ASKED THEN IF HE COULD GUARANTEE MY SAFETY AND THAT THIS WOULD NOT OCCUR AGAIN HE STATED NO, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING FOR HIM TO DO. NO INJURIES TO DATE. I DO NOT FEEL TOYOTA IS MAKING REASONABLE EFFORTS TO QUICKLY ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM, ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM, AND DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE THIS WITH STATEMENTS REGARDING MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE FOR THE DRIVE, AND SINCE THIS IN THEIR OPINION IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE FOR THEM IT IS NOT A VIABLE PROBLEM FOR THEM TO REPAIR. 2) ON APPROXIMATELY 2-11-10 I HAD TO USE MY BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IN WHICH MY BRAKES WERE TEMPORALLY NON-RESPONSE. I HAD TO DOWNSHIFT THE GEARS, REMOVE MY FOOT TOTALLY FROM THE GAS PEDAL ,AND MANEUVERED THE CAR AWAY FROM THE OTHER STOPPED CAR. NO ABS WAS FELT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FULLY, THIS OCCURRED AT HWY SPEEDS. NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PROBLEM OR REMEDY PROPOSED BY TOY CURRENTLY. *TR

2006 AND OTHER YEARS OF TOYOTA COROLLA. ECM DEFECT CAUSES HAD SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION AND HAS RESULTED IN SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER WHEN DRIVING. CASES OF THIS PROBLEM ARE WIDELY REPORTED ON THE INTERNET BY OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE NHTSA TO ORDER A RECALL OR TO HOLD THE COMPANY LIABLE TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. WHERE IS THE FOCUS OF THE NHTSA??? *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND MY ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT IT WOULDN'T START. I COASTED INTO A SPOT, AND THEN I RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS TIME IT STARTED FINE. THE ENGINE REVVED LOUDLY. I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD, BUT IT STALLED AGAIN AFTER A FEW FEET. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ECM WAS BAD, BUT THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY WHAT HAD CAUSED THE DEFECT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CROWDED 4 LANE STREET IN WADSWORTH OHIO , MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION, IT DID NOT STALL BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SPEED REDUCED TO 5 TO 10 MILES INSTANTLY WITH BUSY TRAFFIC ALL AROUND ME, I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS COMING BEHIND ME AT NORMAL SPEED, I SLOWLY MOVED MY CAR CAUTIOUSLY TO THE FURTHEST RIGHT LANE, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GO INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE HOOKED IT UP TO A COMPUTER ANALYZER, THE RESULT SHOWED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE PERFORMANCE CODE P0607, WHICH IS A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION, WE HAVE CONTACTED A TOYOTA DEALER, WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO DO THERE OWN DIAGNOSIS, AND HOPEFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM, IN THE MEAN TIME I CANNOT DRIVE CAR AND NOT WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY ON THE ROAD. *TR
