Description of the problem | I went to pick up my vehicle on september 3, 2012. On the way i found the vehicle was rigid and the suspension was not working properly. When car hit various imperfections in the road there was a banging noise and the car would vibrate. I felt dizzy as during my time spent driving car. The car seems unsafe to use. This should not occur on a vehicle that cost $31k and on the first day that i am driving vehicle. In addition the steering felt more weighted on the left as opposed to the right. When i turned left there was greater resistance. I contacted the customer relations manager that same day and he indicated he felt it maybe a tire pressure problem. He then stated that i should bring the car in for service department to see what the issue is. I later discovered that the radio sound fluctuated. I had contacted the service department to confirm my appointment and discovered that an appointment was never made. I notified toyota main office and they provided me with a case # [xxx]. The main office at toyota indicated that they would contact the customer relations manager. I will be going to advantage toyota in valley stream, ny on 9/8/12. Please have someone investigate the issue regarding the suspension on these vehicles. I don't want someone else to incur the same issues i have.
