Description of the problem | 2009 matrix xrs certified vehicle purchased with 33,000 miles around 2010, currently 48,000 miles and has 5 yr, 100,000 mile extended warranty. This vehicle is difficult to drive on the highway. The vehicle wanders into the left or right lanes and driver must fight to keep the vehicle in a straight line. The local chantilly toyota dealership denies the issue and any tsb. The steering on this vehicle is dangerous and warrants further review by ntsb if toyota continues to stonewall its customers regarding safety issues. I will follow up with toyota national. |
