| Description of the problem | I love the venza but there are certain road conditions that cause the driver and passengers to bounce repeatedly. It can be described as porpoising. If you can visualize a semi-truck driver bouncing up and down in his seat, this is what i am experiencing. As i experience this bouncing i observe drivers and passengers in cars next to me or in front of me and do not see them bouncing like i am and i have never experienced this bouncing in my former toyota avalon or my recent chevrolet malibu. Hopefully, toyota will recognize the issue and find a fix. |
