Description of the problem	The car was purchased on 10192010 in a town about 3 hours from where i live. My wife drove the car home. Tire pressures were checked and were at 30 psi per the vehicle's manufacturer's label. I then drove the car (for the first time on a highway) and noticed that the car was indeed unsteady in curves. It wondered left and right and the power steering seemed loose or was adding power steering boost when not necessary. On 11/01/2010 i brought the car to an alignment shop that bighorn toyota uses. They said the alignment was not within specs. Afterwards and on my way home (about 1 1/2 hour drive down interstate and two lane roads) i now noticed that the vehicle, when in left curves, continued to have this slack or loose feeling at highway speeds and would not correct itself or straighten out coming out of the curves. One would have to keep your hands on the steering wheel to compensate for the looseness. Right corners or curves were not loose and the vehicle would correct itself once you came out of the curve. Thinking that the alignment was not done correctly i went to another shop (big o) in craig, co. They said the alignment was perfect (i have both print outs to confirm). At this time i decided (after discussion with the store manager) replace the tires with a higher quality tire. The same problem still existed afterwards. I contacted a toyota service manager, they are aware of the issue but have no fix for the problem as of this date. This may not be a big problem on dry roads but on icy, snow packed or wet roads, this car will be a handful to keep it under control.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
