| Description of the problem | Toyota venza 2009 constantly pulls to the left. When driving on a bumpy road it will drift to either side and when i step on the brakes, it drifts as well. Dealerships say it's following crown of the road, but it doesn't-it veers off the road. When taking a right turn, the steering is stiff and turns more to the left than right. I have visited 3 dealerships with no resolution. Struggling to keep car on the road and was very dangerous during a recent snow storm between avoiding to hit other cars and veering off the road. I have called toyota hotline and they insist there's no problem. This car is dangerous to drive. |
