Hi everyone,
I have a 2013 black brz. I have loved this car so much and it is in fact my first new car but an unfortunate event has happened. Here is the backstory:
I was entering a freeway on-ramp that required an almost 90 degree turn with a downward dip. I made the turn a little too quick and the car under-steered right into the curb while the wheel was turned right (saying this in hopes that you can further diagnose what is going on).
The car is currently drive-able and aligned, however there is one nuisance that makes it look like I am a drunk driver. The car seems to veer one direction or the other on slightly uneven roads and even though it may be small, you can feel the weight of the car shifting when its veering left or right. The car needs almost constant correction when going straight. I have talked to some of my car buddies about it and they said it happens. However the part they couldn't understand is why there was no tension in the steering wheel when the car decided to veer on its own.
Now I have taken it to the dealership about 3 times and each time they found something new to fix and have replaced the following:
1. Rack and pinion
2. Power steering rack
3. Front left rim and tire
4. Front axle
As you can already imagine, going separate times means a lot of money for the labor and parts, which according to my estimates have gone into the $3000.00 range.
I am a full time student with 2 jobs so it is hard for me to keep taking my car in for service/repair. I was hoping that some of you may be able to pinpoint this problem in hopes of reducing my visits to the dealership. I will schedule a ride-along with a technician once again so they can also get a feel for what is going on. Thank you for reading this and I look forward to reading what you guys think!
