Description of the problem	I was pulling up to subway and i noticed that my steering was a little tight. I went and ate and then headed to my friends house in orlando. While i was on the highway i almost hit a car because the steering started to jerk violently towards the right and left. I made it to a toyota dealership in orlando because it was right next to me, but as i was parked and the engine still running the wheel wouldn't stop moving back-in-forth. That is when i found out toyota will not pay for the repairs for free, even though i could of killed or injured myself and other people around me. Toyota needs to do something about this and fix it!!!
