During both wet and dry conditions at times the car doesn't realign after making turns, grinds while turning, pulls to the right, pull and shake violently when having to come to or make an abrupt stop. With car in park, turned off, and keys out of the ignition the steering wheel shakes violently and tries to oscillate. Can provide video upon request.

When i start to drive my car the steering either goes to the left or right and does not stay straight. It is happening periodically. I had it checked, had an alignment and they could not come up with anything that would cause this. On the highway it is not much of a difference but driving on the street it seems as if someone is grabbing the steering wheel and pulling it to either side.

The steering started pulling left or right after the car was started and driven . Would stop after the the ignition was turned off and turned back on. I think the problem is when the battery is low on amps and you turn on the ignition the low amps messes up the elecyrical power assist or the steering sencer and locks the steering problem in when you start the car and then it"s running off the electrical alteranor.…

If steering wheel is turned to the right or left when i start the engine, while driving the wheel pulls in that direction while going down the street. If the steering wheel is straight when i turn on the engine and drive, the car goes straight down the street, no pull left or right. So i always straighten the wheel before i shut off the engine.

As soon as i bought the toyota 2016 unit and started driving it i noticed that the vehicle was apparently disaligned. But in an awkward manner: the steering wheel would forcibly turn left. Another time right. Sometimes, specially after starting the engine. It is an erratic behavior. Took it to a certified mechanic and was aligned. The mechanic mentioned that it was a bit disaligned. Next day i experienced the same…
