| I have a copied a post i found regarding 2007 fj's, as i had the same problem with my '07 fj, and after 6 months of repairs and no solutions, i traded it in for a 2010 fj, and now i'm having the same exact problems, as described below: i have a 2007 toyota fj. the steering seems terribly weak and unpredictable. i've had the wheels aligned three times, but the problem continues. toyota says the there is no issue but that the steering on this style vehicle is just sensitive. while i really enjoy the vehicle, i'm always on full alert when driving knowing that at any given time, the steering may suddenly take the vehicle left or right with no predictability. i have never experienced a newer vehicle that requires so much attention to the steering. it may go left or right when the roadway surface changes, when encountering uneven roadway surfaces, when transitioning from wet to dry or ice to clear pavement, or for seemingly no reason at all. often i find myself actually counter steering (inputting opposite tension on the wheel) to keep the vehicle from going leaving the lane i'm traveling in. it is very unpredictable while changing lanes. as i begin a slow move to an adjacent lane, the steering may suddenly just pull me over to which i then have to counter steer to keep from going too far. i took my 2010 fj to a toyota dealer where i bought it here in abq, and they said they couldn't find anything wrong, of course. they said they would file a complaint with toyota headquarters and sent me on my way. with my '07 fj i had the front brakes done, all new lug nuts, new tires, new shocks and struts, 7 alignments, and 3 rotation and balances (on the new tires), all within only six months using 5 different shops, and it still wasn't fixed. i am very unhappy and do not feel safe on the road in my 2010 fj. please help. | |||
