| Description of the problem | I bought my 08 camry in 2010 as a used but certified toyota. I noticed right away that the car seemed out of alignment. I mentioned before we closed the deal and they told me not to worry they would re-align the vehicle at my convenience. Long story short, the dealer stood behind their word and re-aligned the vehicle several times. Nothing has fixed the problem! The car constantly pulls, usually to the left but even sometimes to the right. It's like the steering has a mind of its own. The dealer has chalked it up to "sensitive steering". I've put new tires and new brakes all the way around the vehicle and it has made no difference. If i'd known this steering problem was going to persist i would have never bought the vehicle. |
