Washington -- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reviewing about 80 complaints from owners of Toyota Corollas who say they had problems with the steering system.

 

But NHTSA isn't ready to open a formal investigation and is treating these complaints like the 30,000 or more it receives annually.

 

"We are reviewing steering complaints with the Corolla to determine if a safety defect investigation is warranted, as is standard procedure with all complaints," NHTSA spokeswoman Karen Aldana said.

 

 

The complaints are for 2009 and 2010 model Corollas; many said the vehicle unexpectedly veered sharply at highway speeds of 40 miles per hour and above.

 

Automotive News reported that the complaints site 10 injuries and six accidents.
