Steering Wheel Problems of Toyota 4Runner

Today, observed significant rust on the passenger side longitudinal frame member. The frame rail was perforated for ~24 inches on the bottom, inside of the rail, next to the muffler and up to and including the mounting point for the rear wheel lower control arm. The rail was perforated to a width of up to ~1 inch. I am concerned about the structural integrity of the frame and am reporting it as it could be safety issue. . Read more...

A steering vibration occurs at highway speeds between 65 mph to 80 mph. A new set of tires where installed and balanced properly at discount tire but the steering vibration would not go away. Then I had the store change the tires and install another set of four thinking bad tires where installed. The tires are dunlop grandtrek at 20 what Toyota originally puts on the car. However, the steering vibration is still there. I have had the tires balanced a multiple times and the problem is not fixed. I even took it to the dealer to balance them and they also checked the steering and suspensions and tires and found nothing wrong. However, there is still vibrations at highway speeds.

Vibration is felt in steering wheel at highway speeds (55 mph or higher). This is especially present when steering wheel is turned slightly to the right. Have had tires rebalanced with no change in vibration. Problem has been with vehicle since purchase. Tire replacement and rotation does not correct vibration.

Vehicle pulls/drifts to the right at highway speed. Steering flutter conditions exist. Consequences include steering and suspension component wear and tear. Vehicle under went two wheel balances, two wheel alignments, a tire rotation, and inspection by a field specialist on 6 separate repair attempts. As of today, condition still exists. Manufacturer will not attempt to fix the problem. A TSB bulletin exists for the model year but manufacturer has said the fix/condition does not apply to my vehicle due to VIN.

While turning the vehicle the power strerring became unstable (hard to turn - then lose) causing the SUV to hit a pole, damaging the corner right bumber.

We taught that we bought the safest car. From the very beginning we noticed that the car vibrates while driiving at highway speeds, and that it is pulling side to side. We complained about the problem on may 20, 2002, june01 and 08, 2002, July 01, 2002, and last time on August 13, 2002. Unfortunately, the car is still having the same safety problem. We want to have it returned or get our money back due to not being able to fix it after visiting the service five times. We have all written documentation that can verify every fact we stated. If you need it we will send it to you. Sincerely, alen & halima nikolajevic mr.
