“Toyota 1999 Sienna ce: steering pulls to left. I have to hold steering tight to keep it to right. I already got alignment done two times and new tires changed but pulling to left starts right away. It is very disappointing.”
NHTSA complaint #10360000, filed 2010-10, 149,500 miles“Shortly after purchasing my 1999 Toyota Sienna minivan, in may, 1999, I noticed a severe pulling to the right. I could not let go of my steering wheel for even a second or this vehicle would pull. I took it to our local Toyota dealership (neill sandler in murfreesboro, tn) and they said there was nothing wrong with it. I took it another dealer and the lady working there just acted like it was in my head. Later I tried taking it to the dealership that I bought it from and they would not diagnose it since I had taken it to the other dealership - would not even look at the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10159813, filed 2006-06, 100 miles“The tires showed signs of excessive wear every 15000 to 20000 miles. Dealer had front and rear suspension aligned. The tires were rotated, but excessive wear still occurred. The dealer admitted something was wrong with the alignment. The first set of tires was replaced at 17k miles, 2nd 39k miles. In any event, the car continued to pull to the left despite the alignment and rotation.”
NHTSA complaint #10044963, filed 2003-12, 15,000 miles“This vehicle has a dangerous drifting problem, the vehicle is hard to control when traveling on the highway. The steering column has been replaced by dealer, but the problem still exists. I have appointment to return the vehicle to the service dept. Again. This is a very serious problem that needs to be investigated. There are several other issues with the van, I'm hoping the dealer can rectify.”
