Car drifts toward the left thus causes constant correction especially at highway speeds of 30 and above. Controlling this is very tiring and more importantly can cause an accident with the car in the other lane. With this distraction it leaves one not giving other safety observations as much time to monitor.. Toyota has been aware of this in older model years but has failed to address it since not enough owners cars or affected by this drifting or simply thru apathy.
