| 2009 | STEERING | I RECENTLY TRADED A 2007 COROLLA SPORT BECAUSE OF STEERING DIFFICULTIES THAT I THOUGHT RESULTED FROM 2 TIRES SIMULTANEOUSLY GOING FLAT ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. THESE TIRES HAD BEEN INSTALLED BY A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD NEGLECTED TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEMS. SINCE THAT INCIDENT I FELT THAT THE STEERING WAS "OFF." I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND THEY ALL SAID THE STEERING WAS FINE. I DECIDED TO TRADE IT FOR A 2009 TOYOTA XLE. I JUST BOUGHT IT LAST THURSDAY. THE MORE I DRIVE IT, THE MORE I NOTICE THAT THE STEERING IS WAY OFF ALSO! THE CAR DRIFTS IN LEFT/RIGHT DIRECTIONS WITH TOTAL UNPREDICTABILITY. IT'S LIKE DRIVING A ROLLER SKATE OR A SKATE BOARD. IT FEELS VERY DANGEROUS. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE 2009 I DROVE ORIGINALLY. THEY SOLD ME ONE OF F"THE TRUCK" THAT ALREADY HAD A SUN ROOF IN IT, INSTEAD OF INSTALLING ONE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. IT'S VERY SCARY! *TR |
