Description of the problem | This has been occurring for some time now and is related to my breaks. At first not so bad but is becoming much worse over the last year and a half. Let me describe as i did to my toyota service center last week before my last service and multi point inspection. When i am on the highway and i apply the breaks to slow the vehicle the steering wheel violently jumps back and forth in my hands. The harder i apply brake pressure the worse it gets. I just returned from a trip with some friends golfing. We traveled from cumming, ga to huntsville, al. This was chronic and getting a bit scary. We purchased the truck new and it has only about 40,000 miles. I take good care of the vehicle but this is not good. We (my wife and i) are making a trip to green bay, wi to visit family and friends. This is serious and should be fixed. It feels unsafe. Our current service center is beaver toyota of cumming ga. We are leaving june 6, 2019 to travel to green bay..... It would be nice it were fixed before we leave! J my telephone (cell) is (xxxxxx) please call.
