#716003December 13, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN REACHING A SPEED ABOVE 55 MPH, ALSO ON HIGHWAY DRIVING THE VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT AND/OR LEFT AT TIMES, DEALERSHIP INDICATES NO PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY WILL ONLY TEST THE VEHICLE ON SIDE ROADS, AS OPPOSED TO HIGHWAY DRIVING WHICH IS WHAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR. THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN ENGAGED, IF YOU HIT THE BRAKES, WHILE THE TIRES ARE STILL TORQUED MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG, AND THE VEHICLE AT TIMES TENDS TO SPEED UP THEN SLOW DOWN. *AK

#715757December 7, 1999
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
BOTH PASSENGER DOORS HAVE A GLUE STICKY SUBSTANCE THAT IS LEAKING FROM THE WEATHER STRIPPING INSIDE THE DOOR. A DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $60.00 PER DOOR TO FIX. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED OFTEN THEN THERE SOUND LIKE A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM IN THE WEATHER STRIPPING OR SOME OTHER COMPONENT WITHIN THE DOOR. THE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURING AROUND NOV. 1997 ALMOST TWO YEARS AFTER THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW. CAN YOU HELP ME IN THIS PROBLEM? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION
I ASKED TOYOTA TO EXPLAIN WHY RACK & PINION NEEDED REPLACEMENT WITH ONLY 18,300 MILES ON CAR. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER BECAUSE OF STEERING PROBLEM. TOYOTA WRITTEN ANSWER WAS THAT CAR WAS OVER WARRANTY PERIOD OF 36 MONTHS AND IT WAS NOW MY RESPONSIBILITY. I HAD THE RACK & PINION REPLACED IN NOVEMBER AND THEN RECEIVED A RECALL FROM TOYOTA ON DEC 2, L999 THAT SAID A LOOSE NUT ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE TIGHTED AND SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALER. THE SYSTEMS DESCRIBED BY TOYOTA WERE THE SYMPTONS ABOUT STEERING I COMPLAINED ABOUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER.
