2009 Corolla is drifting left and right on the highway. Some vibration.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) I have a Toyota Corolla 2009, I have reported to north town Toyota in buffalo new york of my car having a steering problem. When driving the car it is constantly fighting your steering. It almost feels like where the rack meets the pinion, that they bounce and separate causing it to not steer properly. The Toyota dealership says that Toyota is not going to fix problems with the steering yet, of course it is our only vehicle, and we have no choice but to drive it. This is very frustrating. They have addressed the peddle recall, as well as repaired a failed left rear abs speed sensor, and bearing, but when I asked that they do both right and left at the same time they refused, now my vehicle is out of warranty, and will have to pay for it when it fails. I am not an uneducated person I have a mechanical degree, and have worked in several industrial plants dealing in industrial maintenance, it is standard practice, that when a bearing fails, and there are more than one in the same area, you replace them all at the same time, just like when one cv boot fails on the searing column they always replace them in pairs, as well as brake pads, drums and rotors.
