2004 toyota solara - pulls to the left and cannot be aligned. Safety hazard problem. Must hold onto steering wheel tight or vehicle goes left. Dealership aware of this problem but cannot fix it. Has had many problems with this type of vehicle. What will happen on icy/snow covered roads? Needs to be recalled. *la

I bought a 04 camry le in nov.03 but found it kept pulling to left. Since then i have brought it to dealership twice for fix.

I purchased a brand new 2004 toyota solara. Since day one the car has drifted to the left. I have had the front end aligned 4 times, rotated the tires and checked air pressure. Nothing has helped this car. This is a safety hazard and should be recalled, before somebody gets killed.
