“I've owned my 2001 solara since I purchased it new in april 2001. I haven't had any real problems with it (I've had all of the normal maintenance, wear & tear stuff done), until about 2 years ago. My wife & I were out of town and were turning around at a strip mall shopping center when the steering locked up. It had just rained extremely heavily and there was a lot of surface water on the road. I just assumed that perhaps the power steering drive belt got wet and was slipping (although I didn't hear any squealing). After that the steering seemed ok. …”

“Car steering drifts left, 8 trips to the dealer and it cannot be fixed (caster is not adjustable). Web searches reveal that this has been a pervasive problem for years with the manufacturer offering no resolution.”
