UPDATE: Federal safety officials say they will look into complaints from Toyota Corolla drivers about difficulty with the steering on their vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received about 80 complaints from drivers of 2009 and 2010 Corollas. Many say their cars can wander when they drive on the highway, making it hard to stay in lanes.

Just as Toyota moves from one crisis, the Prius recall, it now can move to yet another: mounting complaints about electric power steering on 2009 and 2010 Corollas.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is thinking of opening another investigation, Automotive News reports. This time, it would look into possible power steering defects in the Corolla, the nation's second-best-selling car last year with 874,000 sold.

Toyota has received 83 complaints about power steering problems, 76 of which caused the car to veer right or left at speeds over 40 miles an hour, the News found. The reported defect has resulted in 10 accidents and six injuries. Reporter Neil Roland writes:

Complainants have compared the movement to being buffeted by strong winds, sliding on black ice, or hydroplaning. They said that after trying to straighten the car, it can overcorrect -- requiring the driver to use a tight, persistent, two-handed grip on the wheel to travel in a straight line.

"If you take your eye off the road for a second, the car will drift into another lane," said one driver in an Oct. 18 complaint. Another describes it as the most terrifying thing that ever happened to them.

The Corolla is already one of eight models that Toyota stopped selling until its accelerator pedal assemblies could be retrofitted to stop unintended acceleration.
