Toyota Corolla pulling problems

Filed Oct 7, 2026 · Driver assistance, Steering · NM

My daughter was on the interstate using cruise control; wet roads but no heavy rain or puddling. The LTA pulled her car off the road, She had to fight to get control of the car to prevent hitting the middle concrete barrier. Once she got the car back into the lane, it jerked the other way down a gravel embankment resulting in scratches and damage to the undercarriage shield. Toyota said the LTA was functioning properly when they tested it in their repair center but also advised to turn that technology off if it was malfunctioning. The repair was $600 but this could have resulted in injury or death. I have a 2025 Camry and the same thing has happened to me more than once but without damage to the car. 2024 Toyota Corolla (TSS 3.0) distinct complaints from drivers: • Sticking and Hard Steering Pulls: Some owners report a distinct "notchy" or sticking sensation when trying to fight the system's automatic steering corrections. Some drivers on Reddit have noted that subtle factory wheel alignment or caster angle imbalances can cause the Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) to constantly over-correct or pull hard to one side. • Deep Menu Navigation: To adjust or turn off the system, drivers have to dive into deep menus via the steering wheel controls on the instrument cluster screen. Toyota owners frequently complain about the aggressive, erratic, and unpredictable steering corrections caused by Toyota's Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) and Lane Departure Alert (LDA) systems. • "Ping-Pong" or Over-Correction: Drivers report that LTA causes the vehicle to bounce back and forth between lane markers or jerk the steering wheel unexpectedly. • False Triggers: The camera and sensors often misinterpret dark skid marks, patched cracks, construction lines, or roadside cyclists as lane lines, pulling the car off course. Safety Concerns: Some owners on Reddit have described near-miss accidents where the system violently steered them toward the edge of the road or into adjacent traffic lanes

I was t-boned by a driver on 5/16/2023. Since this occurred, my vehicle has been repaired. However I have a shake and hoovering noise coming from the front of the vehicle. It has been aligned, tires have been rotated, and suspension has been checked. My mechanic can find no fault. However he has stated that he can feel the shake and can hear the noise. He also says it pulls to the left really hard when accelerating. These issues were not present before my accident. Also my seatbelts on my driver and passenger side were replaced shortly after my accident. I felt like this wasn't checked by the body shop.

I have been experiencing a lot of highway wanders and I have replaced tires and had three or more alignments done since january of this year. It feels as if the wild is blowing a hundred miles an hour around me and pushes my car all over the freeway. I feel it getting worse as well. I'm not sure what else to do or who to contact. I really need to get this fixed asap and we have tried many things.
