Minor steering adjustments stick and don't self-correct. Pronounced binding zone near center prevents smooth return. SYMPTOMS: After curves, wheel returns 80% but stops visibly off-center requiring manual correction. Minor lane adjustments stick and require counter-correction. Constant manual steering correction causes driver fatigue. Progressive worsening since purchase. SAFETY: Incomplete return at highway speeds causes drift. Sticking divides attention from hazards. Emergency maneuvers require manual straightening during critical response time. SERVICE: February 2026 - McGovern Toyota technician documented \"VEHICLE DID NOT RETURN OR SELF CENTER\" but Toyota corporate refused repair claiming \"normal characteristic.\" Had 6+ alignments with no improvement. Recent alignment caused binding to flip sides, proving internal mechanical binding not alignment issue. RELATED: Toyota issued CSP 22TE02/TSB T-SB-0028-22 (2022) for 2018 Camry with identical \"reduced return to center\" caused by intermediate shaft binding. My 2024 Corolla has same defect Toyota acknowledged in 2018 models but refuses to repair. INDUSTRY PATTERN: Honda HR-V TSB 24-094 (2024), Mazda CX-90 Recall 24V-022 (26+ failed fix complaints, 2 crashes), GM Bolt TSB 17-NA-148, Ford Explorer ST owner reports - all for steering not returning to center.
