After getting roughly 150 complaints from Toyota Corolla owners saying that they were having trouble steering their vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into steering issues on half a million Corollas.
The vehicles affected are 2009 and 2010 Corollas, the NHTSA said.
