Consumer Description

MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS DRIFTS WHEN I'M TRYING TO DRIVE THE CAR STRAIGHT. THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT AHEAD POSITION. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT THEN RIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR DRIFTS BOTH TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. IT WON'T GO STRAIGHT FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS. IT'S NOT THE DRIVER AS I HAVE LET OTHERS DRIVE THE CAR AND THEY NOTICE IT TO. IT IS ALSO NOT THE ROAD SURFACE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON ALL ROADS. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I'VE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM FROM THE 1ST DAY I OWNED IT. AT 1ST WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I THOUGHT IT WAS ME AND THAT I NEEDED TO GET USED TO THE CAR. BUT THE CAR STILL ACTS THIS WAY, DRIFTING LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN I'M TRYING TO GO STRAIGHT. *TR
