Steering column is loose and vehicle steers to the right.
Vibration at speeds of 40mph and higher. Vibration most apparent at 60mph and higher. When steering wheel vibrates, car feels unsafe/unstable. Vibration is very apparent throughout the car. Hands shake and can feel in arms and legs. Vibration causes my lower back to hurt everytime I drive it. Never had back problems before. Dealer states that they reblanced the wheels. Claims the vibration is the road. However, no other car I've ever driven has had so much vibration. Can even see passenger seat constantly vibrating. Have taken the car to the dealer three times. Second time dealer states that they rechecked the wheel balance and phase matched front tire. Left car at dealer for three days they did not even look at the car. Dealer refuses to repair the car. Help! help! help!.
Steering wheel starts to vibrate at speeds between 65 and 68 mph, and usually stops beyond that range. It does not seem to jeopardise the safety but is worrysome and annoying considering a brand new car of this make.
Steering wheel vibrates when speeds of 65 mph and higher,dealer has attempted to repair 4 times and problem has not been repaired.
The steering wheel vibrate during acceraltion at all speeds. The steering wheel vibrates at normal driving conditions at all speeds. The vibrations are at the greatest at speeds greater than 50 mph. The car was brought back twice to the dealer and each time it was dismissed as rounding of the tires. To this dat ethe car has approx 5600 miles and the vibration continues.
On flat roads,steering wheel binds or locks into a left turn requiring driver to use clockwise force to the steering wheel to return it & maintain vehicle on (center) straight path. (steering wheel does not return to the center). If I let the steering wheel go, vehicle will turn into the left lane or center divider in about 5 seconds. I am an outside salesperson and on two ocassions I have had to sharply steer the car away from the left to avoid hitting oncoming traffic,I had no expectation the car would steer itself to the left so quickly. I understand that solara and sienna share same platform,powertrain & steering. . . Siennas had a similar problem (odi pe99-070) & owners had new modified steering rack guides replaced to correct the problem & and that the solara steering rack has quietly been modified with new part # 44250 06081. I took my solara to the dealer to check alignment about 6 times(first time when car had about 300 miles), rotated, balanced tires,dealer told me bridgestones potenza tires were to blame,I replaced them with b. F. Goodrich but the steering wheel continues to bind or lock into a left turn.
Serious unsafe vibration at 60mph and up. Dealer has replaced tires 3 times, balanced the tires 5 times and performed alignment. Still has problems. Had a highspeed balncing performed to no avail also.
Consumer states the steering squeaks when turning, the dealer found lower steering column universal dry and noisy, the dealer lubricated the lower steering column joint.
