STEERING BOX LEAKED AND PINION SEAL LEAKING. ALSO THE VEHICLES STEEING WAS ERRACTIC AND THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE AT TIMES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 25MPH. STEERING BOX AND PINION SEAL WERE FIXED. THE STEERING SENSOR WAS CHECKED BY DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE "ERRACTIC" FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS, OCCURING DAILY.

TOYOTA OF ORANGE DID NOT STAND BY THEIR GUARANTEE OF "LEMON" USED CARS. I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE FROM THEM AND CONTINUOUSLY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS, BUT THEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK. I AM NOW PAST THE ELIGABLE TIME LIMIT FOR 'LEMON LAW' BENEFITS AND AM STUCK WITH A DEFECTIVE CAR THAT I CANNOT EVEN SELL FOR THE 'KELLY BLUE BOOK PRICE', BECAUSE IT DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY.

SUB DIED ON THE ROAD. ALTERNATOR REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 60K MILES. STEERING JERKS WHILE TURNING OVER CORRECTING COULD CAUSE CRASH. FRONT DISC BRAKES REPLACED ANNUALLY. REPLACED FRONT LEFT CALIPER AND ROTOR. TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS PEICE OF JUNK BOUGHT NEW. LOCAL DEALERS NO HELP. JUST MILK ME FOR MORE MONEY. NOW TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING AT 67,000. DT

DURING A LEFT HAND TURN, AT APPROX. 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOOSE, THEN STIFF AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE FLUID LEVEL OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS A T IT'S PROPER LEVEL AND THE BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I HAVE HAD IT AT (2) SEPARATE SHOPS AND NEITHER HAVE REPORTED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END AT ALL. *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****770103

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 25 MPH ON RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND BRAKES WERE THEN APPLIED. SPEED REDUCED. BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS ON 2ND "PUMP" OF BRAKE PEDAL AND EXPERIENCED LOSS OF BRAKES. USED EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING VEHICLE TO COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. "CHECK GAGE" LAMP IS ON. STEERING WHEEL IS STILL LOCKED. HAD TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART ENGINE TO UNLOCK STEERING WHEEL AND REGAIN USE OF BRAKES. THIS SYSTEM "LOCK UP" WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THIS OCCURED AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR IF A TURN WAS NEEDED OR WHILE A TURN WAS BEEN EXECUTED. DT

WHILE PUTTING VEHICLE IN GEAR THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE REAR BRAKES AJUSTED. THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THAT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. MR

CAR WILL MOVE ON IT'S OWN EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR. IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR OR BRAKE. IT WILL GO FOR A LONG WHILE AND GOES UP TO 5 MPH. CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSES IT, BUT NOTICED IT WHILE WAITING TO PICK UP DAUGHTER AND IT WAS IDLING SUDDENLY WHILE IN PARK THE RPM SHOT UP WITHOUT MY DOING ANYTHING. I CAN USUALLY CONTROL IT BY PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR THEN THE BRAKE TO STOP THE LOUD IDLING. DT

CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING 60MPH VEHICLE'S SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY TO 40MPH W/O WARNING THEN INCREASED BACK TO DRIVING SPEED. CONSUMER ADVISED THAT PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENLY. TS
