Scion TC Steering problems by year

I was driving on highway 522 going 60mph at 11:30pm. The highway was smooth and had no bumps then randomly the wheel on the rear passenger side broke off the car and went flying. Police officers and state troopers looked for the wheel and they couldn't find it. Luckily I remembered in drivers ed that when a tire blows out (even though this situation is a little different) you firmly hold onto the steering wheel and hold it straight. The car then straightened out and stopped once I ran into the railing.

Steering wheel turns too easily to have a safe amount of control over the vehicle. There is very little traction where the tires meet the roads. I spent $700.00 On cooper tires thinking this would help, but still car slides over the ground. I checked to see if the traction control was off but that was not the case. This is a very dangerous car. I paid cash for my car and have no other recourse but to keep it. I have no more money. Specifically, when the car is in motion there is very little stability or traction on the road, and it is very scary. This kind of driving would be normal on icy roads, but scion tc drives like this on dry roads in warm weather. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 scion tc. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel turned in both directions independently. In addition, the vehicle jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. While driving over a speed bump, the vehicle spun out independently. The contact lost control and the vehicle spun into the grass and stalled. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's...

While driving this car I have felt as if I was going to be slung into traffic on the interstate ,highways, city roads , country roads, and definitely in most curves. It's like the car has a mind of its own going where it wants at low speeds you can't feel or see it to much but after around 35 to 40 is when it's most noticeable I feel that I got I will trade for some this has resulted in my vehicle to be totaled out. As I was going around a turn one day the vehicle suddenly pulled harder into the turn so I tried to adjust but it sent me into a fishtail and before I could get off the road I impacted with another car which deployed seven airbags.

1. I don't know the reason for it but the steering wheel normally turn by themselves at higher speed even my hand is on steering wheel . 2.I felt like I was losing control over the car's steering, particularly at highway speeds. Normally it happens on highway and sometime on city too . Sometime I looked over to see if there is a hole on street that made my steering wheel turning w/o reason but there weren't a hole on city street. *Tr

While driving on the florida turnpike, my scion tc 2007 violently swerved left hitting the center divider. This caused the car to bank off the center divider and proceed with a 180% turn across the turnpike ending in the slow lane facing oncoming traffic. From there a motorcycle hit and totaled the scion vehicle. Upon exiting the car I noticed that the tie rod which allowed the wheel to be controlled by the steering wheel had popped off, causing the accident. The car remains with the insurance company awaiting a more detailed inspection. *Tr

Driving straight at approx 40 mph steering wheel pulled hard to the right. Unable to turn it back and lost control of car totaled. Crashed into a tree. *Jb saw newspaper article about another accident with same description and fatality in miami herald on 9/9/07. Thought it could have been mechanical failure - this should be checked to make sure it is not coincidence before someone else is injured or killed. Updated 12/12/07

I took my 2005 scion tc to dealer to have a routine warranty oil change. Tech told me that power steering fluid was completely black. When pressed for an explanation, I was told this was normal wear (even at only 25,000 mi). I had the fluid replaced for a hefty fee, but called to speak w/ a service manager and was again told that this is a normal wear issue "for all toyota's" and was assured that nothing was wrong with the steering system. I have never heard of this being "normal" as this is a contained system....
