I cant keep this car in its lane, it veers to the left at all speeds and even worse at highway speeds. This is very dangerous and needs to be corrected by toyota because the car will not take an alignment and pulls the driver into oncoming traffic constantly. *tr

My first thought was, i had a flat tire, but i did not. Since it was not far, i decided to take my car to pohanka toyota where i purchased it and have it serviced. The dealer replaced the right rear wheel hub, bearing and shock…

The car requires almost constant driver input in the steering to maintain it within the lane of traffic at freeway speeds. There is play in the steering wheel and the car does not track securely while driving on a freeway. As a result it is fatiguing to constantly have to correct from right to left and back again left to right while driving at freeway speeds. Toyota rep and dealer mechanics claim there is no…

Backing out of driveway onto the street and noticed the steering was somewhat difficult and felt thick. Driving down the road to turn the corner it felt similar, but not as bad. Got home and asked my wife if she noticed anything previously and she stated now that i mentioned it she did, but didn't think to tell me. Drove it for another few days and no improvement was noticed. Contacted my toyota dealer and scheduled…
