Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The power steering is not suitable for highway speeds of over 50 mph. This steering is so sensitive at highway speeds that it requires 150% concentration and effort to keep the steering straight. Natural wind, wind produced by cars, small bumps on the roads, concrete separating lines... Anything and everything will cause this car to shift direction to the sides in the highway. It was simply poorly designed and not stiff enough. This is a safety concern. In sport mode i do believe the power steering hardens/tightens a bit but it is not even enough. Please have this checked out. - owner of 2014 corolla |
