STEERING
WE PURCHASED A 2004 SOLARA SE SPORT V6 ,FROM DAY ONE EVEN AT THE TIME OF THE TEST DRIVE IT PULED TO THE LEFT YOU MUST ALWAYS KEEP PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. WE SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AFTER THE TEST DRIVE AND BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND HE SAID TO ME DONT WORRY BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK AND WE WILL FIX IT, IT MIGHT JUST BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. WE TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT WEEK THEY CHANGED THE TIRES FROM THE LEFT SIDE TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND SAID IT WAS OK. IT STILL PULLED TO THE LEFT, I CALLED AND TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS STILL PULLING TO THE LEFT THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK AND THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR AND THEY HAD IT TWO DAYS. WE PICKED IT UP AND IT STILL PULLED TO THE LEFT .WE TOOK IT BACK FOR THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THEN 2 WEEKS AND I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT TILL IT IS FIXED , THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE CORRECT WAY . THIS HAS BEEN 3 ATTEMPS TO FIX IT AND 17 DAYS OUT OF THE FIRST MONTH OF HAVING THE CAR THAT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP. WHAT ABOUT AT A LATER DATE ABOUT TIRE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR.*AK

STEERING
WE PURCHASED A 2004 SOLARA SE SPORT V6, AFTER THE TEST DRIVE I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER IT PULLED TO THE LEFT HE TOLD US NOT TO WORRY BRING IT BACK NEXT WEEK AND HE WILL GIVE IT A FRONT END ALIGNMENT, WE DID THAT AND STILL PULLS . WE TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AND THEY SWITCHED THE TIRES FROM THE RIGHT SIDE TO THE LEFT AND IT STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT. THEY HAVE NOW HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT PULLING TO THE LEFT BUT DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS IS A BIG SAFTY PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU MUST AT ALL TIME KEPP PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO GO STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. IF YOU LET GO OF THE WHEEL YOU WILL GO INTO THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN BAD WEATHER WITH ICE OR SNOW..... THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIX BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A BAD ACCIDENT CAUSE OF THE CONSTANT PULLING TO THE LEFT... I SUGGEST A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. *AK

STEERING
FROM ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE OF VEHICLE, THE CAR TRACKS LEFT. THE TRACKING TO THE LEFT OCCURS IN ANY LANE AT ANY TIME. I HAVE HAD INTO DEALER THREE TIMES FOR REPAIR. FIRST TWO VISITS RESULTED IN COMMENTS THAT THIS WAS "NORMAL" AND THE CROWN OF THE ROAD. A THIRD VISIT, AT ANOTHER DEALER INDICATED THAT THE TOE WAS "SLIGHTLY" OFF. WHILE THIS HAS AMELIORATED THE PROBLEM, IT CONTINUES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS "TYPICAL" FOR CAMRY'S WITH 16" WHEELS. I FIND THIS SITUATION UNACCEPTABLE. THE 15" WHEEL CAMRY DOES NOT APPEAR TO SUFFER FROM THIS CONDITION.*AK

TIRES:MARKINGS
RE: DUNLOP SP SPORT 4000 TIRES, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY PURCHASED NOV 1999. HE FINAL DIGITS OF THE DOT NUMBER ON ALL THE TIRES IS: 369. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THESE DIGITS ARE SUPPOSED TO INDICATE THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE. BUT SURELY THAT DATE CANNOT BE THE 3RD WEEK OF 1969! SO MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE TIRES DO NOT ACCURATELY INDICATE THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE.*AK
