STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO MANEUVER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE SLOWLY, MAKING WIDER TURNS WHEN TURNING. *AK

*STEERING* I WENT TO VISIT MY DAD & RUN SOME ERRANDS IN LA COUNTY ON JULY 6TH 2013. I RESIDE IN ORANGE COUNTY SO I HAD TO GET ON THE FREEWAY. THE SPEED LIMIT ON CALIFORNIA FREEWAYS IS 65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I GOT UP TO 65 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR STARTED VEERING OFF TO THE LEFT & I HAD KEEP A FIRM GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS TO KEEP THE CAR IN MY LANE. THE SPEED LIMIT IN IRVINE ON MOST STREETS IS 50 MILES PER HOUR. I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE VEERING PROBLEM AT 50 MILES PER HOUR OR LESS LIKE I DID AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. VERY SCARY. *ENGINE PROBLEMS 2 TIMES SO FAR* ON 8/14/13 I TRIED TO START MY CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND & IT WOULDN'T START. I TURNED THE KEY TOWARDS ME & TRIED TO START IT AGAIN THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A ONE TIME INCIDENT SO I LET IT GO. EARLIER TODAY 8/17/13 THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TURNED THE KEY & NOTHING HAPPENED, IT DIDN'T START UP. ONCE AGAIN I TURNED THE KEY TOWARDS ME THEN TURNED IT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION & IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 6/9/13 & AFTER THE TEST DRIVE IT HAD 5 MILES ON IT WHEN I DROVE OFF OF THE DEALER'S LOT "POWER TOYOTA CERRITOS" AKA AUTONATION. I CURRENTLY HAVE 649 MILES ON MY CAR. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT ON 8/19/13 TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED. IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS I'M GOING TO CONTACT A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY. I HAVE A DISABLED CHILD THAT I USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT TO & FROM DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS. I BOUGHT A TOYOTA BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION OF DEPENDABILITY THAT THE NAME CARRIES. NOW I'M NOT SO SURE. *TR
