I was driving at about 20-25 MPH when I felt the steering wheel get out of control I tried to steer it in the right direction but it just steered to the right and at the moment the steering wheel locked up and I couldn't control the car causing me to run into a side walk and almost hitting a pole also the accident caused my whole wheel and suspension to completely break also the cv drive shaft came off no one was hurt but I am really concerned that if this had happened on a highway road there could have been…
I have a 2011 corolla le which has 12k miles on it. Till 12k everything was fine and I loved this car very much. While returning from a road trip (550 miles one way) I started noticing loosing control on the steering and the vehicle started wandering all over the lane. I thought it was due to the high winds on that day. But I got tired frequently due to this and had to take many breaks. Then I tried to reach some toyota dealer on the way but they had no service due to easter sunday.
