| Description of the problem | Hi -- i am very concerned about the safety of my 2004 toyota camry solara i purchased from ira toyota. The car has had a constant pulling to the left and they have repurchased 1 camry solara from me already. After stating that it was "1 bad car" and that they "had problems with the sport suspension", i purchased an sle without the sport suspension. I am having the same problem and they have told me that it is the 'crown of the road', not the car. The car will go from the left lane to the median strip in less than 1 second and they said that happens with 'all cars'. I have driven 4 separate cars, 2 of which i have had to rent because toyota won't/can't fix the problem and the car is unsafe for highway travel. Please tell me how i can have the car fixed or, again, repurchased. It seems unfair that literally hundreds of people on various web sites (toyota's own, edmunds. Com, yahoo. Com) have the same problem and the manufacturer is not required to fix it and can blame the 'road crown' for the problems with their car. Nm |
