Description of the problem | Hello, i drive 100 mile every day from pittsburgh, ca to hayward, ca for school. I recently purchased a 2014 corolla le, because i wanted a reliable car for my daily commute. I have noticed at speeds over 60 mph, my car seems to be blown around by wind and there is no wind gust strong enough to do that. I have visited the dealership (dublin toyota) twice in other to find out the problem, they said everything is up to spec. They have done alignment and even adjusted the tire pressure, yet there is no improvement on the steering or handling of the car. The car waves on the freeway and it is a struggle to keep it in one lane. I really feel unsafe in the car and i have tried everything including loading up my car with weight in order to make heavier. I know something is either wrong with the rear suspension and axle or the power steering is simply bad. Please find out why this is this way from toyota, because i don't feel safe driving the car on the freeway. I noticed this problem starting the day i brought the car. |
