| Description of the problem | I purchased a brand new 2004 toyota solara in september of 2003. Since i have had the car it has pulled to the left. I took it in and toyota had my car for three days. They told me that they have talked with toyota specialist at corporate and it's a known problem with the 2004 solara that they are working on a fix. At this time they don't know what the problem is and recommended i drive the car until they figure it out. If tires wear wrong or any other problem they would cover it. This is not an acceptable solution for me. This car is brand new and i shouldn't have to keep a car that has a defect. This would not pass state inspection if i were to get it inspected today, so how could they tell me it's safe to drive when it pulls to the left? I have filed a complaint with toyota and i am awaiting a call back. I am also filing a complaint through nhtsa to further assist my situation. *la |
