STEERING
POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AND WARNING LIGHT (ON THE DASHBOARD) WAS ON. STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON THE PARKING LOT, AND NOT ON MY WAY BACK HOME (TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY) WHICH FOR SURE WOULD RESULTED IN CAR ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE CONTACT TOYOTA HOWEVER AT THIS POINT THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED IN THIS MATTER AS SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL NOT COVER ANY EXPENSES FOR SUCH REPAIR (POWER STEERING ELECTRICAL UNIT/ RELAY WAS REPLACED_PARTS~ 900$ AND LABOR ~500$). *TR

STEERING
WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY PULLS TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT THEN WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT THE STEERING OVER CORRECTS THUS JERKING THE CAR IN WHICH EVER DIRECTION YOU ARE TRYING TO CORRECT. THIS ACTION OCCURS EVERY DAY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, AT ONE WE WERE TOLD THE FRONT TIRES WERE SWAPPED AND AT THE OTHER THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING AND THAT WITHOUT A RECALL THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD OR WOULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
