| Description of the problem | I brought 2006-1007 highlander hybrid vehicle in 2005 from the beginning i am having difficulties with the steering i told dealer multiple times, toyota company multiple times about the steering problem. As soon as i drive above 25 mph my car pulls towards right very badly i have to apply lot of pressure on the steering to put on the road. Due to this i spent 1000s of dollars to do wheel alignment and steering check due to this i spent 1000s of dollars on my tires i have to change my tires every two years even though the manufacturer gives warranty for 6 years 65k miles. |
