What 211 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Toyota Corolla

I have been driving my car since 2016, however since Nov 24, 2023. Incidents that alarm me have happen. I have filed a police report but don't have the funds to get vehicle swept. All of these events occur while I am driving. Passenger windows goes up in and down a lot. Static in my speakers. Steering wheels lock. somethings draining my battery. though I have ensured nothings on or there isn't any short fuses. Doors unlock. Door beeps though someone has had access. Trunk pops open. I am reaching out to NHTSA because my safety is at risk. Is any other Corolla owners reporting this. Please assist me.

I was exiting a freeway offramp and as I was turning at a speed of approximately 35 mph, I had both hands on the steering wheel and full control, but the actual car wheels disengaged from the steering. The car went in a different direction than the steering wheel and hit a wall. I was able to reverse. But, as I kept driving, the steering wheel was not controlling the car wheels correctly. When I would turn the steering wheel, the car's wheels wouldn't obey.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 10-15MPH. A CAR WAS WAITING TO TURN AT A STOP SIGN 200 FEET AHEAD. THE ROAD HAD MILD SNOW AND ICE AND WAS ON A 20 DEGREE SLOPE, SO I STEPPED GENTLY ON THE BRAKE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR. I STEPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND STEPPED DOWN A LITTLE HARDER. THERE WAS MILD RESPONSE. I CONTINUED PUSHING ON THE BRAKE, AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR DID NOT STOP. 50 FEET BEFORE COLLISION, I ATTEMPTED TURNING THE WHEEL TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THE CAR ONLY SHIFTED 3 FEET BEFORE I COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT CAR. 50 MINUTES AFTER THE INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING THE SAME CAR HOME AT 25MPH. THE CITY STREET WAS FLAT AND STRAIGHT, AND THERE WAS MILD SNOW AND ICE. A CAR WAS TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION 250 FT AHEAD. I WAS WORRIED THIS TIME, AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE EARLIER AT MODERATE PRESSURE (PEDAL HALF DOWN). IN THE PAST, THAT TYPE OF PRESSURE COULD DECREASE THE CAR FROM 35 TO 10MPH IN 100FT. THIS TIME, THE CAR ONLY DECREASED FROM 25 TO 15MPH IN 245FT. I WAS LUCKY THE DRIVER AHEAD TURNED, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SECOND COLLISION IN ONE DAY. *TR
