Hi, Does anybody out there that experiencing rattling on the 2009 Corolla? If so, did any of you bring the car to the dealer to have it fixed? In any given day, especially when it a little cold, I experience rattling in the right side right above the glove box. It is really annoying. I have no problem with my 2007 TCH, so it can't be the roads near where I live. thanks |

Replying to: louie_jr2005 (Jun 07, 2008 6:39 am) Took it for a test drive yesterday on the highway and took note of the pulling on the steering as I was driving, thanks to all the blogges who brought my attention to it. I missed it the first quick test drive out through the 'burbs. My huband was with me and said you probably just need to get used to it. So we switched drivers. He was worse than me. I thought the wind picked up or something they way he kept having to jerk it (over corrects) back. Some other blogger mentioned that if he took his eyes off the road to look at something for a second or two, by the time he looked back, he was wandering into the other lane. That was us yesterday. I was all set to buy the car. The dealer was giving us 500 over invoice and I walked away. It was an exhausting experience. I went next to test drive the Honda Civic, it was effortless compared to the Toyota Corolla. I'm so bummed. I'm going to phone service today or maybe try to locate another XLE based on what your experience has been to see if there isn't different play in each car.

I don't think I have a problem with my 09 Corolla S but, everytime I start the car and begin to takeoff, I hear what sounds like a pump noise from the front of my car. Anyone else experiencing this? It doesn't last long, maybe a half to a full second. Kind of reminds me of when you start your car on a cold day and you hear the fuel pump for a second or two. Just like that but, not as long, and only when you begin to go. Maybe it has something to do with the TRAC or VSC? Oh, by the way, once you get used to the electric steering it's not that bad. Thanks much.

I'm not sure if it's the engine, suspension, or both in my 2009 Toyota Corolla S. Lately I've been feeling a new vibration in the steering wheel. I experience it even on seemingly-smooth roads, such as the highway. I don't know if it's in my head or what, but when you're driving slowly on a road (such as just taking the foot off of the gas and letting the car advance itself, does anyone else get the sensation their car is dipping slightly to the left in a repeated pattern (like it's not riding perfectly flat and smooth on the road)? I've experienced this in the last couple of cars I've had, so I don't know if this is normal and I'm expecting too much from the car or not. I expect my car to be a sanctuary of peace, and ride perfectly smooth on smooth surfaces. Between the vibration and the dipping sensation I am quite irritable.

| When I first got my 09 I was feeling what felt like vibration in the car. I checked out the tire pressure and it was high. I corrected the tire pressure and the car smoothed out. Another thing with the steering is after 1200 miles I seem to be adjusting to the steering and it doesn't seem quite as touchy as it first did. | |
