Tires are good ! When I got this SUV it only has 15 k miles I got shimmy on my steering wheel This not acceptable We need a recall on this issues it's very dangerous Please Toyota when need to solve this issues
Steering wheel out of control while driving. My car lost control and crashed. I contacted Toyota Motor North America.Inc. But they said their inspection didn-€™t find evidence that the incident was the result of a defect in my vehicle.
Anytime you go above 60mph the car and steering wheel shake pretty violently. If you take your foot off the gas it goes away temporarily. The same happens at times when braking, the car and steering wheel will shake. Tires have been balanced, rotated, and replaced with no improvement. This seems to be a well known and wide spread problem with Toyota offering no real solution. The vehicle seems hard to control and could be dangerous at speeds above 60. I am around 50,000 miles on my 4Runner and the problem seems to have started when my tires were replaced a few months ago.
Steering wheel shakes and wobbles. At times violently. Occurs at 55-65 MPH. Wheels and tires have been balanced countless times. Alignment is in spec. Correct Tire pressure is used. Truck has been inspected by dealer. Tires have been balanced by dealers and local shops. No one can fix the shake and wobble in the steering wheel. This has been a problem since the vehicle was new and now has over 20,000 miles. There are thousands of complaints as I have found on line forums.
Component: Possible steering rack issue Safety concern: Vehicle steering wheel shakes at speed between 60-62mph. A lot of new 4Runner affected by this issue. Problem is confirmed by Toyota Dealership
