| Description of the problem | This sounds like a broken record - car pulled severely to left at time of purchase. Toyota's first attempt lessened left hand pull. Toyota's second reduced pull, but now steering is sloppy. Toyota says they "fixed" it. Car feels "twitchy". On crowned roads you will pull hard to whatever side the road leans to. I have parked the vehicle - too scary to drive long distances. There are a couple other non-safety related problems with the car - sharp rattle from rear passenger side, vibration in steering wheel, brake is soft. *jb |
