| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The car pulls to the left or right and there is alot of play in the steering wheel, and occasionally the wheel will jerk slightly. There is a popping/ knocking in the wheels and steering wheel. I have taken it to get an alignment twice and was told that it is not the alignment. Put new brakes and rotors on the front. Did some research and found that this was a recall on this model of vehicle, ran a vin number check and my car did not show up with having a recall. Called toyota and asked about a recall for the steering. Toyota stated that because my vin number did not show up as a recall for this problem that there was nothing they could help me with. Also see that there was a recall or complaint about the transmission. I really think that if there was a history of recalls for this make and model that toyota should still check this out for free and fix the problem. Just because the vin number is not showing up as being recalled doesn't mean that this can not happen. I have only had the car 2 weeks and have not been happy with the way it drives. |
