Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2005 COROLLA SE FEBRUARY 2009. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICED THAT IT VEERED HEAVILY TO THE RIGHT AND THOUGHT MAYBE THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS OK. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SO I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AND THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT "ALL TOYOTAS VEERED TO THE RIGHT" AND THAT DOING AN ALIGNMENT WOULD NOT HELP ANY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL ROADS AT ANY SPEED, NOT JUST HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT VEERS AT 25 MPH AND THE TECH ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WONT VEER IF I DON'T ACCELERATE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC IN THAT. IT SEEMS TO ONLY BE GETTING WORSE I HAVE TO HOLD MY STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 10 DEGREES TO THE LEFT AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND NOW I AM STUCK PAYING FOR IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO WILL LISTEN. PLEASE HELP OR INITIATE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR
