What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, she attempted to turn left but the steering wheel pulled to the right. The contact stated that she applied the brakes but that caused both of the passenger side tires to become lifted off the ground. As result, the vehicle flipped onto the driver's side and rolled over several times. The contact sustained minor cuts and bruises however, the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
I purchases a new 2012 toyota corolla this year. On (first day) the way home from the dealer I noticed the vehicle tends to sway in the freeway. It feels similar to driving on a windy day. I am concerned about the safety of the vehicle. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer two times, however, the problems still persists. What rights does the customer have in these types of circumstances?
