2004 Toyota Camry complaints

CONSUMER STATED WHILE TRAVELING 53 MPH FRONT END STARTED SHAKING HARD. CONSUMER PULLED VEHICLE OVER, AND NOTICED PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEEL WELL WAS ON FIRE. *AK *LA

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT AND CURRENTLY ALL THE TIRES WERE WORN OUT ON THE OUTSIDE. *SC

UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES CONSUMER SOMETIMES DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAUSESD THE VEHICLE TO SURGE FORWARD. BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOTIFIED.*AK

VEHICLE VIBRATED WHEN DRIVEN ON A FREEWAY OR OVER A ROUGH ROAD. VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN BY 3 FACTORY REPRESENTATIVES BEFORE THE THIRD SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THAT VIBRATION WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED, AND COULD NOT BE CORRECTED.*AK

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET OF MY SUBDIVISION AT ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR AND MY CAR SURGED FORWARD ON ITS OWN ON TWO OCCASIONS. AGAIN WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WITH MY BRAKE ON, IT SURGED FORWARD AGAIN AND THEN DID IT AGAIN WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I BARELY GOT IT STOPPED IN TIME TO KEEP IT FROM REAR ENDING AN 18 WHEELER CAB IN FRONT OF ME.*AK

WHENEVER VEHICLE TRAVELED UP AN INCLINE AND THE CONSUMER RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS. *PH THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN GOING UP A HILL AND THE SMALLEST HILL. AS SOON AS THE DRIVER'S FOOT RELEASED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE AND THE SECOND ONE'S FOOT WAS TAKEN OFF THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WENT FORWARD. THIS WAS EXPERIENCED A FEW TIMES A WEEK. *SC *JB

WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, AT A FASTER ENGINE SPEED OF ABOUT 2,800 TO 3,000 RPM, THERE IS A ROUGH SPOT OR ROUGH NOISE. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AT LOWER ENGINE SPEEDS A NOISE IS NOT NOTICEABLE. FOR A LONG TIME I THOUGHT THE NOISE WAS FROM ROUGH SPOTS IN THE ROADWAY, BUT THE NOISE KEPT OCCURRING ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT. THERE IS A DEFINITE DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION.*AK

CONSUMER WAS PARKING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE JUST KEPT GOING ,CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERS. OWNER DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE DONE. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. *AK 9/26/2005 - THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS RETURNING HOME AFTER THE REPAIRS (THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE AGAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIR. THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL FEELS SOFT/LOW. *DSY

TRANSMISSION "SHUDDERS" WHEN UPSHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AT RPM NEAR 3,000.*AK

THE CAR HAS PULLED OR VEERED TO THE LEFT SINCE PURCHASE ON 12/12/2003. THE CAR HAS BEEN ALIGNED TWICE AND THE TIRES ROTATED TWICE BUT THE CAR STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR PULLS INTO INCOMING TRAFFIC. THE TIRES WILL BEGIN TO WEAR UNEVENLY.*AK

CAR CONSISTENTLY PULLS TO THE LEFT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *NM

MY 2004 CAMRY XLE HAS VERY POOR BACK UP LIGHTS. I CAN NOT SEE THE STREET WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY NORMAL LENGTH DRIVEWAY, OR OUT THE REAR WHEN IN AN AREA WITH NO LIGHTS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND THE POSSIBLR CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS.*AK

SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 1/1/04. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER TO HAVE LEATHER PUT ON THE SEATS, I TOLD THEM IT WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT. SUPPOSEDLY THEY ALIGNED THE FRONT END BUT THEY DIDN'T PUT ANYTHING IN THE COMPUTER ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES, SWITCHED THE TIRES, ALIGNED THE FRONT END, PUT A NEW RACK ON IT ETC. ETC. THE LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I SHOULD READ THE OWNERS MANUAL ON HOW TO OPERATE IT. I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS FOR 3 MONTHS AND NO SATISFACTION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD THEM I WANTED ANOTHER CAR. THEY GAVE ME ONE TO SEE IF I LIKED IT AND THEN PULLED MINE IN TO WORK ON IT AGAIN AFTER I HAD TOLD THEM NO MORE. THEY CALLED ME TODAY TO TELL ME IT WAS FIXED. RIGHT!!! I HAVE CALLED MY LAWYER. *JB

CONSUMER NOTICED IN FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM BECAME DISABLED. DEALER ADMITTED THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.*AK CONSUMER IS HEAVY SET AND WELL OVER THE MANUFACTURERS THREASHOLD OF 80LBS, 6.2 IN HEIGHT AND THE PSIR WILL NOT ACTIVATE ALMOST 100% OF THE TIME WNEH SEATED IN THE PASENGER FRONT SEAT. WHEN OTHER PEOPLE GET INTO THE SEAT THAT WEIGHT LESS THEN CONSUMER THE PSIR CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM WILL ACTIVATE. CURRENTLY IN ARBITRATION. DEALER CAN NOT FIX VEHICLE.CW

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, CONSUMER LOST CONTROL AND HIT A TREE. DRIVER SUSTAINED LOWER BACK INJURIES. *AK

DRL WILL NOT TURN ON HEADLIGHTS THAT THE OWNERS MANUAL ON PAGE 98 SAID THAT IT WILL, THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE AUTO IS A NEW 2004 CAMRY XLE, WITH 902 MILES AT THIS TIME. THE LIGHTS SHOULD COME ON AS STATED IN THE BOOK, OR A WARNING SHOULD BE IN THE MANUAL, THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL COME ON WHEN THE LIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE DRL.*AK

AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY NEW (LESS THAN ONE MONTH OLD) TOYOTA CAMRY 2004 SURGED FORWARD AT A HIGH VELOCITY AND I HIT A BRICK WALL DAMAGING MY VEHICLE. INJURY: SPRAINED RIBS AND BRUISES TO CHEST AND KNEES. *AK

WHEN I SHIFTED FROM PARKING TO BACK, MY 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LE WENT FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARD, WHICH REALLY SURPRISED ME. SAME SITUATION HAPPENED AGAIN 20 DAYS LATER.*AK

WHEN BRAKING VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT TWO OTHER VEHICLES. *AK

A NEW 2004 CAMRY SE WILL NOT ALIGN AND HAS SEVERE STEERING PROBLEMS. TO FOLLOW TOYOTA'S SUGGEST THE ALIGNMENT COMPUTER GENERATED REPORT WILL NOTE: CROSS CAMBER ACTUAL "THIS VALUE IS NOT WITHIN SPECIFICATION. TIRE WEAR, HANDLING AND SAFETY PROBLEMS MAY RESULT." *JB

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. THE FIRST TIME, THEY SAID IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND ALIGNED ALL 4 WHEELS. BUT IT STILL PULLED. THE SECOND TIME THEY CROSS ROTATED TWO TIRES AND SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED THE TOE(AS THEY TOLD ME). THIS TIME IT IS SLIGHTLY IMPROVED. HOWEVER, I FOUND THE STEERING IS NOT SYMMETRICAL, I.E. TURNING LEFT AND TURNING RIGHT GIVE ME DIFFERENT FEELING. SO I GUESS THE FIX THEY DID WAS NOT THE RIGHT FIX. THEY JUST TRIED TO COMPENSATE THE LEFT PULL BY PLAYING WITH THE TOE ANGLES. IT STILL PULLS! RECENTLY I NOTICED MANY CAMRY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED BY A SO-CALLED "ROTATING UPPER SPRING INSULATOR BY 25MM CCW" MEOTHD. AND THE PROBLEM IS BECUASE OF AN ASSEMBLY ISSUE. SO I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO HAVE MY PROBLEM ADDRESSED. THEY SHOULD FIX THEIR ASSEMBLY ISSUE AND NOT LET CUSTOMERS KEEP COMPLAINING WITHOUT RESULTS!!!*AK

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.

I OWN A 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA AND FORM FORUMS I BEEN GOING TO 3 OUT OF 5 OWNERS SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WHICH IS THAT THE NEW CARS SEEM TO PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN EVER SPEEDING UP ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR KEEPS GOING OFF... SO FAR TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT BUT FROM WHAT I KNOW ONE OF THE OWNERS OF A 2004 SOLARA HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM WHICH IS THAT THE PROBLEM RESIDES IN THE SPRING PRESSURE (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT). THEY BASICALLY NEED TO ROTATE THE SPRINGS SEATING IN THE PERCH ABOUT A QUARTER INCH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THAT WAY IT WOULD STOP THE CAR FROM PULLING TO THE LEFT AND ALSO NOT CAUSING THE LIGHT INDICATOR TO GO OFF.... *CB

I PURCHASED MY 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY LIMITED EDITION IN NOVEMBER OF 2003. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT WHILE I'M DRIVING - ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IN ADDITION THE CAR IS VERY SENSETIVE TO THE ROAD CROWN AND WIND. IT IS ACTUALLY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IT IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE CONSTANTLY IN SOME TYPE OF STRONG CROSSWIND. THE LEFT PULL IS SO NOTICEABLE THAT I CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M SURPRISED SOMEONE HASN'T WRECKED AS A RESULT OF THIS. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISES ME THAT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE ENGINEERING OF THE AUTOMOBILE AND THAT THEY GET THIS COMPLAINT QUITE OFTEN. I CONSIDER THIS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE THUS I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. *AK

THE NEW MODEL YEAR 03 AND 04 TOYOTA CAMRY SEDANS, SIENNA MINI VANS HAVE POORLY DESIGNED AND OR MIS-ADJUSTED HEADLIGHTS CAUSING BLINDING GLARE TO ON COMING DRIVERS OR DRIVERS IN FRONT OF THESE VEHICLES. THE EXCESSIVELY GLARING LIGHT CAUSED EYE PAIN TO OTHER DRIVERS AND TEMPORARY BLINDNESS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE NEW MODEL YEAR 03 AND 04 CADILLAC ESCALADE SUVS HAVE TOO HIGHLY MOUNTED AND POORLY DESIGNED AND OR MIS-ADJUSTED HEADLIGHTS CAUSING BLINDING GLARE TO ON COMING DRIVERS OR DRIVERS IN FRONT OF THESE VEHICLES. THE EXCESSIVELY GLARING LIGHT CAUSED EYE PAIN TO OTHER DRIVERS AND TEMPORARY BLINDNESS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *AK

2004 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA CONSTANTLY PULLS TO THE LEFT. HAVE RETURNED TO DEALER THREE TIMES. ON THIRD TIME THEY ADJUSTED THE SPRINGS. HAS HELPED THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR STILL DRIFTS TO THE LEFT.*AK

TWO WEEKS AGO WE PURCHASED A NEW 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA SLE V6. IT HAS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE DRIFTED TO THE LEFT. TODAY 12-29-2004 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (RIGHT TOYOTA OF SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA) TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY REVERSE MOUNT AND BALANCED THE LEFT FRONT TIRE (PER TSB ST005-01). IT DROVE SOMEWHAT BETTER BUT WHEN I GOT HOME AND CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AFTER SEVERAL HOURS IN THE GARAGE I FOUND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AT 37+PSI WELL ABOVE THE REQUIRED 32 AND 4.5 HIGHER THEN THE RIGHT FRONT.*AK

CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT. WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR DRIFTS TO THE LEFT. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM, JUST "MINOR ROAD VARIATIONS".*AK

WE PURCHASED A 2004 SOLARA SE SPORT V6 ,FROM DAY ONE EVEN AT THE TIME OF THE TEST DRIVE IT PULED TO THE LEFT YOU MUST ALWAYS KEEP PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. WE SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AFTER THE TEST DRIVE AND BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND HE SAID TO ME DONT WORRY BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK AND WE WILL FIX IT, IT MIGHT JUST BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. WE TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT WEEK THEY CHANGED THE TIRES FROM THE LEFT SIDE TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND SAID IT WAS OK. IT STILL PULLED TO THE LEFT, I CALLED AND TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS STILL PULLING TO THE LEFT THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK AND THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR AND THEY HAD IT TWO DAYS. WE PICKED IT UP AND IT STILL PULLED TO THE LEFT .WE TOOK IT BACK FOR THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKS AND I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT TILL IT IS FIXED , THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE CORRECT WAY . THIS HAS BEEN 3 ATTEMPS TO FIX IT AND 17 DAYS OUT OF THE FIRST MONTH OF HAVING THE CAR THAT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP. WHAT ABOUT AT A LATER DATE ABOUT TIRE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR.*AK

WE PURCHASED A 2004 SOLARA SE SPORT V6, AFTER THE TEST DRIVE I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER IT PULLED TO THE LEFT HE TOLD US NOT TO WORRY BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK AND HE WILL GIVE IT A FRONT END ALIGNMENT, WE DID THAT AND STILL PULLS . WE TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AND THEY SWITCHED THE TIRES FROM THE RIGHT SIDE TO THE LEFT AND IT STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT. THEY HAVE NOW HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT PULLING TO THE LEFT BUT DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A BIG SAFTY PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU MUST AT ALL TIME KEPP PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO GO STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. IF YOU LET GO OF THE WHEEL YOU WILL GO INTO THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN BAD WEATHER WITH ICE OR SNOW..... THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIX BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A BAD ACCIDENT CAUSE OF THE CONSTANT PULLING TO THE LEFT... I SUGGEST A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. *AK

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 JUST BOUGHT A 2004 CAMRY LE THAT PULLS TO THE LEFT, AND I HAVE TO KEEP A RIGHT PULL ON THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE TIME TO MAKE THE CAR RUNNING STRAIGHT.*AK

PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA IN SEPTEMBER 2003. CAR HAS PULLED LEFT FROM DAY ONE. HAVE TAKEN CAR IN 5 TIMES. DEALER TOLD ME TOYOTA IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON FIX. A CASE NUMBER WAS ASSIGNED TO MY CAR AND DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY FIXED CAR BY ADDING WASHERS TO THE STRUT BOLTS ON THAT SIDE TO "SHIM" THE CAR. DEALER FAILED TO TELL ME THAT THEY ALSO ADDED 5 EXTRA POUNDS OF PRESSURE TO THE TIRE ON THAT SIDE TO MAKE THE CAR GO STRAIGHT. NOT ACCEPTABLE--THE CAR IS NOT FIXED. I HAVE FILED A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA 2 WEEKS AGO AND AM AWAITING A CALL BACK (THEY HAVE 30 DAYS TO FIX) AND HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. *LA

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA IN SEPTEMBER OF 2003. SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR IT HAS PULLED TO THE LEFT. I TOOK IT IN AND TOYOTA HAD MY CAR FOR THREE DAYS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE TALKED WITH TOYOTA SPECIALIST AT CORPORATE AND IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 SOLARA THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON A FIX. AT THIS TIME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND RECOMMENDED I DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT. IF TIRES WEAR WRONG OR ANY OTHER PROBLEM THEY WOULD COVER IT. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION FOR ME. THIS CAR IS BRAND NEW AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP A CAR THAT HAS A DEFECT. THIS WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION IF I WERE TO GET IT INSPECTED TODAY, SO HOW COULD THEY TELL ME IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT PULLS TO THE LEFT? I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND I AM AWAITING A CALL BACK. I AM ALSO FILING A COMPLAINT THROUGH NHTSA TO FURTHER ASSIST MY SITUATION. *LA

I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA SLE V-6 A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAVE SOME PROBLEMS. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS DRIFTING TO THE LEFT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE FIRST TIME I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM OURISMAN FAIRFAX TOYOTA THE STEERING PROBLEM WAS WORST THAN WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. "ALIGNED TO TOYOTA SPECIFICATIONS" THEY SAID. THE SERVICE MANAGER ROTATED THE TIRES MANY TIMES AND ADJUSTED THE ALIGNMENT "OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS" TO TRY AND MAKE THE CAR TRACK STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. HIS ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CAR HAS FAILED AND I AM CERTAIN THAT THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO PRODUCE ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR BECAUSE OF THE ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE CAR. I FEEL CHEATED BY TOYOTA. THIS IS A 27,000 DOLLAR CAR AND THE 15,000 DOLLAR COROLLA RENTAL THEY GAVE ME FOR THE DAY HAD PERFECT STEERING. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. DRIFTING TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IF YOU DON'T KEEP CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL THE CAR WILL GO LEFT AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE AMOUNT OF DRIFT IS SO BAD THAT IF YOU REMOVE YOUR HAND FROM THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL TURN LEFT BY ITSELF. THE AMOUNT OF AUTO WHEEL TURN IS BETWEEN 3 TO 12 INCHES. THIS IS VERY UN-SAFE AND I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT CAN BE OF SOME HELP TO OTHERS AND ME. *LA
