| While driving my steering wheel sometimes jerks to the left or right so when i drive my had is always firm on the steering wheel because i don't know when it my jerk again, it happens mostly happens on roads that are not strait surface, my biggest worries is that when i was driving to work and was on left lane the car jerked to the left and almost went strait to the concrete barrier. i took it to sewell lexus and they could not identify the problem at the time they said it was my bad break pads and bad front rotors, so i got that done thinking it would fix the problem the cost do get that done was $1,002.92 and after driving off the dealer the car still had the same problem. the car drives smooth but it has those sudden steering jerks that really concern me. | |||
