| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In my highlander hybrid, when traveling at speeds of 0-15 miles per hour holding the steering wheel straight and firmly with both hands if full throttle is utilized, the vehicle will pull uncontrollably to the right then back to the left. on 3 different occasions, i almost side swiped a vehicle on the passenger side of the car. i reported this problem to my dealer and then took my vehicle to the dealer to test drive and verify the problem, which they did. the dealer response was" it is just the way the vehicle is and they all do this" and "unless a warning light comes on there is nothing they can do". so now i am afraid to accelerate when needed due to lack of control of the vehicle. toyota is sending a factory rep out to evaluate the vehicle. *nm |
