Approximately 10 working days have past after arbitration of the eps(electric power steering) of my 2012 toyota corolla s in which today in the mail came the denial. I entered into a claim to have don mcgill toyota of houston purchase this car back. Please everyone, the eps system is not a component you have to adjust your level of driving experience to suit theirs. The eps is unsafe and will cause an accident, it's a shame that a death or bloodshed is the only means by which toyota will open their eyes! Sadly though it is often how the consumer at the end of the day has his voice heard.. The steering system on this vehicle can be down right dangerous! You are foolish to buy this car and this is my lesson learned. Heed this warning for anyone wanting to purchase this automobile. I am no longer a loyal toyota customer and the care at which those that represent the automaker afford their customers. I look forward to the day I can rid my hands of this potentially lethal automobile with it's uncontrollable steering system.
The component/system is known in the industry as electric power sterring(eps). I purchased my new corolla s on 26 march 2012. I traded in my 2009 toyota corolla base that did not have eps. My corolla s was ordered and I waited approx 2 months before it arrived. I did not test drive the 2012 model(I trusted the model) and have never driven a car with eps to my knowledge. Since I am a prior owner of a corolla I can write this with very good credibility. I started noticing this over steerage as I began to drive the car at length and distance and speeds up to and over the limits here in texas. This includes my wife as well. Here on this form I have entered two dates but this has been from day 1. At higher speeds it is much more evident, at lower speeds not as noticeable but now my mind is telling me to be careful. The speed I listed here on this form is only an example I really wanted to just enter all if I could. I get the feeling I have no control over the steering system. It's far too sensitive. I feel I have to hold less the steering wheel to keep from compensating for any slight deviation as the system really does what it's seems to do on it's own. This is disturbing and quite dangerous! I delivered my car 04 may to the service dept. To see if they could fix the problem. Yesterday 05 may on a stretch of open highway I exceeded the texas posted speed limit to see what effects would take place. This overage gets amplified! This may cause a serious accident! I feel I have to relearn how to steer a car, is this possible? Please act on this now!
