THIS COMBINED WITH THE VERY LIGHT STEERING AND ACCELERATOR EFFORT LEADS TO A VERY UNSTABLE FEELING OF NOT BEING IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN EVEN AND STEADY ACCELERATOR PRESSURE AND STEERING DIRECTION. DEALERSHIP HAS ROTATED AND BALANCED TIRES AND PERFORMED ALIGNMENT, BUT HAS MADE ZERO DIFFERENCE. DEALERSHIP HAS MADE 3 ATTEMPTS SO FAR TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TOYOTA IS WORKING ON THE ISSUE. *TR

DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT.

THIS DID NOT HELP. SHOP FOREMAN CALLED THIS THE "TUNDRA BOUNCE" AFTER HE DROVE IT AND CONFIRMED MY COMPLAINT. AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA TO START THE ARBITRATION PROCESS. *TR
