3 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2011

I brought 2006-1007 Highlander hybrid vehicle in 2005 from the beginning I am having difficulties with the steering I told dealer multiple times, Toyota company multiple times about the steering problem. As soon as I drive above 25 mph my car pulls towards right very badly I have to apply lot of pressure on the steering to put on the road. Due to this I spent 1000s of dollars to do wheel alignment and steering check due to this I spent 1000s of dollars on my tires I have to change my tires every two years even though the manufacturer gives warranty for 6 years 65k miles.

4 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/27/2010

I have vibration in front two wheels on my Toyota 2006 Highlander. I have replaced the tires, rims, and two alignments, still the same problem before and after. The left rear tire put to the left when changing lanes. The problem always there. The vehicle does go in a straight line, so the alignment is not a question. I can feel the vibration in the steering wheel. My local Toyota dealership tech road tested the vehicle with me felt the same vibration. The vibration starts around 55 mph and increases as the vehicle goes fast. When slowing down, the SUV will wobble. The dealership tech physically inspected the vehicle and found no problem. The agency wrote the ticket as no problems found. What shall I do?.
