THE TIRES SHOWED SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE WEAR EVERY 15000 TO 20000 MILES. DEALER HAD FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION ALIGNED. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED, BUT EXCESSIVE WEAR STILL OCCURRED. THE DEALER ADMITTED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ALIGNMENT. *AK THE FIRST SET OF TIRES WAS REPLACED AT 17K MILES, 2ND 39K MILES. IN ANY EVENT, THE CAR CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE LEFT DESPITE THE ALIGNMENT AND ROTATION.*CB *JB
PULLING TO ONE SIDE CONSTANT. TIRES CROSS-ROTATED AND PULL CHANGES TO OPPOSITE SIDE. TIRES REPLACED, PROBLEM RECURS. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWO TIMES WITHOUT PERMANENT FIX. TIRES HAVE GOTTEN ONLY 15,000 MILES AND 5,000 MILES RESPECTIVELY. UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS WITH PULL AND POTENTIAL FOR TIRE BLOWOUT DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR.U. *AK
UNSTABLE SUSPENSION, VAN PULLS TO LEFT, RECURRING ELECTRICAL FAILURES. *AK
CONSTANT PULL TO RIGHT. TIRES ROTATED AND THEN SEVERE VIBRATIONS AT 60 MPH. NEW TIRES AT 17,500 MILES AND REPLACED INNER RACK RODS, BUT PULL CONTINUES. *AK
I HEAR A METALLIC "POPPING" NOISE FROM THE FROM WHEEL AREA WHEN I BACKUP OR BEGIN TO DRIVE. THE VAN HAS BEEN LOOKED AT TWICE BY DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECHS ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE NOISE. *AK
WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THEY HAVE DONE AN ALIGNMENT TWICE, AND VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. *AK
THIS VEHICLE HAS A DANGEROUS "DRIFTING" PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING COLUMN HAS BEEN REPLACED BY DEALER, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE APPOINTMENT TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VAN, I'M HOPING THE DEALER CAN RECTIFY. *AK
THERE IS A "ROAD DRIFT" PROBLEM. ALIGNMENTS HAVE NOT FIXED THE ROAD DRIFT PROBLEM.
WHILE TRAVELING STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO LEFT, CAUSING CONSUMER TO FIGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO RETURN TO NORMAL. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED . PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATON. *AK
SINCE DAY ONE THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT WHEN MOVING FORWARD. THE DEALER HAS TRIED REALIGNMENT/NEW TIRES. THIS GREATLY REDUCED THE PULLING BUT THE VEHICLE STILL EXHIBITS A BIAS TO STEER INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC (LEFT). A TOYOTA TECHNICIAN HAS TOLD ME THE FIX WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE BEAM.
VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT, HAS BEEN REALIGNED BUT CONTINUES TO PULL.
