STEERING
WHILE DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK I HAVE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING OF MY 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING OVER 40 MPH. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY VEER AND I HAVE TO COMPENSATE BY STEERING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO BRING IT BACK ONTO THE ROAD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WIND BLOWING MY CAR TO THE SIDE BUT EVEN ON CALM DAYS IT HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE MY CAR WHO HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN TO THEM. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVER DAY BUT AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK I EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. *TR
