WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT SEEMS TO JUST LOCK UP AND DOESN'T WANT TO TURN, AND I HAVE TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET TURN THE CORNER FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IT'S LOCKING UP WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALSO. I READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE ON OTHER 2010 TOYOTA COROLLAS.

TAKATA RECALL THIS REMEDY HAS NOT YET BEEN PERFORMED AFTER CONTACTING THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND BURNSVILLE (MN) TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER DIRECTLY 3 TIMES. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED THE LETTER ON 02/12, SPOKE TO PAM , AFTER SHE SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE CENTER, ADVISED ME THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED IN 2-3 DAYS. ON 02/21 I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND THE REP STATED THE PARTS WERE NEVER ORDERED, SO SHE PUT IN A REQUEST AND ADVISED ME TO WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS. I CALLED ON 02/26 DIRECTLY TO BURNSVILLE TOYOTA, SARAH SAID THE PARTS WERE NEVER ORDERED AND SHE WOULD "PUSH IT THROUGH" DURING OUR PHONE CALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE DUE TO THE FACT I FEEL THAT I'VE BEEN FAILED THIS REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I'M WAITING TO GET MY OIL CHANGE DONE SAME DAY. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED AND THIS NOTICE WAS TO INFORM ME OF AN IMPORTANT RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. PLEASE ADVISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

TAKATA REVALL, I WENT ON MY OWN LAST YEAR AFTER CONTACTING TOYOTAS 800#, APPT SET UP AND SOENT ALL DAY FOR THEM TO SAY I NEED A NEW AIRBAG AND THEY HAVE NONE! MIDSING A FAY OF WORK. TOYOTA ON HYLAN BLVD STATEN ISLAND,NY SHOULD HAVE THEM IN STOCK BEFORE JUST PUTT8NG MY CAR BACK ON THE RAOD WITHOUT REPAIRING IT.
