Seriously, people. This is proof that people who buy and drive Corollas aren't good drivers.
Today Automotive News reports the following:
Toyota Motor Corp. faces yet another possible federal investigation, this time of the electric power steering in 2009 and 2010 Corollas.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is considering a formal investigation of alleged defects reported in the compact car, agency spokeswoman Karen Aldana said.
Automotive News found that the Corolla has been the subject of 83 power-steering complaints since April 2008, 76 of which have reported that the vehicle unexpectedly veers to the left or right at 40 miles an hour and up.
Complainants have compared the movement to being buffeted by strong winds, sliding on black ice, or hydroplaning. They said that after trying to straighten the car, it can overcorrect -- requiring the driver to use a tight, persistent, two-handed grip on the wheel to travel in a straight line.
Really? They have to hold the steering wheel to make the car drive straight? No shit?
I think the Toyota drivers deserve what they get. When you veer off the road and crash, one less idiotic driver on the road for me to contend with.
Also today, Toyota has announced it is recalling all 2010 Prius models, to install new software to make the brakes work.
After all of these recalls and investigations, will anybody buy Toyota's blandmobiles anymore?
