Steering went out.

- Jackson, MS, USA

There is a squeaking noise whenever the care steering wheel is turned either ways. It gets a little bit difficult to turn sometimes. I have checked the power steering fluid level and it is okay as prescribed. I have just gotten back from my mechanic and he informed me that his vehicle Toyota is having the same problem. Please let me know if there has been some issue with this car.

I am having problems with my 2001 Lexus GS300, with it wanting to "pull/follow/wander" when driving on certain roads. I have addressed this concern with Lexus, but their help was unsuccessful. They tell me that this is the nature of the vehicle, even when another Lexus GS300 (2003) does not have this problem. I have had this problem since the day I purchased my Lexus. When I took it in for the 1000 mile check-up- I brought up the concern, but what I got was that the steering loosens, a little as the car ages. when I mentioned this to one Lexus dealer- he indicated that that was not true and that was an unacceptable answer. Today, I continue to have this problem and it has not been an address by Lexus, except for the fact that they say itS the nature of the car. This car currently has Lexus oem 17 wheels from a Lexus GS430- the GS300 has 16 wheels, but even with these itS a problem. Thanks danny zamora.

I am deeply disappointment with the steeing on my 2001 Lexus GS300 and I've only had it for a year. It is so loose it is almost scary. I can turn it almost a half turn at say 5 mph with almost no change in direction of the car, that and the fact that I can do this with one finger on the wheel. I've had an incident, where I lost control of the steering (shaking steering wheel) and cause me to hit the curb on a local street. I have been reading the posts on clublexus about the L-tuned steering ECU and figured that had to be a solution (even though half the posts only say it affects high speed feel). However, I ran into a friend today with a 2000 GS400. I test drove his car and the difference was amazing (and we both have the exact same 17" tires). His steering was firm and direct and is completely stock without the L-tuned ECU. Now my question - how in the world am I going to convince my dealer that I have an issue with my car's steering? I know there is an adjustment that can be made, but from other posts it seems as if dealers are reluctant to do this.
