Description of the problem	Have had the vehicle for a month now. I went back to the dealer after the first week with noticeable vibration in the steering wheel and the vehicle in general from approx. 45 mph and above. Dealer balanced wheels. Returned again another week later with same symptoms. Dealer again attemped to balance tires and analyzed rims, speed balance, etc. And determined it was the tires. After the song and dance about the dealer being unable to replace the tires without a long drawn out process, i was directed to the local bridgestone dealer for tire replacement. Had tires replaced the following tuesday. Same symptoms re-occurred after a few days. Back to the dealer a third time this past friday. Re-balanced the new tires again, service manager drove it afterwords and said everything was fine. Left that afternoon on a trip, and the symptoms re-occured again. Have had enough ! I am filing a lemon law notice to toyota this week with one last chance to repair. If unsuccesful, will be filing for arbitration to receive a refund.*ak
