The owner of this lexus has no knowledge in the physics whatsoever! Any car in the world will steer itself slowly to the right (or to the left in other case) on that kind of road. Cant he realize the roadway is made sloped from center to sides for rainwater to flow off the road for his safety sake!? What a winer...
find the brakes have some travel before they start to bite. Checked them and all was fine and they stop good, is that brake travel just normal for Toyota?
Have you tried driving in the middle of the road. Roads have crest that can pull the to the right or left depending which side of it you are on. Also are you tire pressures equal? Maybe tires?
Hmmm.. A solution is to come to my house and give me your car, than you can go buy another car.. hehe x) jk! this isnt the company's fault, its a problem that must have happened over time. anyways i still love Lexus & Toyota, Although they had recent recalls they have a fix for it. plus shit happens in life =[ hehe
Perhaps he should trade it in for a Gubbermint Motors Buick Lacrosse...LOL! at the poster who talked about torque steer - the ES 350 is a front wheel drive car with almost 300 hp driving those wheels - the dealer is absolutely correct. Don't like it, get an LS 460. This guy is gonna worry himself to death nitpicking...
A problem not mentioned is a defective tire. I had this problem with my Nissan. Some tires come out of the factory with a manufacturing defect that cannot be corrected by balancing the wheel. Try swapping the front and rear tires and see if that corrects the problem.
Tire pressure! Had the same problem on my '09. Dealer fixed it by putting the same amount of air on both sides. Do yourself a favor, buy a nice tire guage for $40 and get rid of the one you bought for $3.99
At what point are you planning on not holding the steering wheel while not driving? I have a Camry (which is the same car) and it does the same thing on uneven roads and bad pavement.
@jay5566f4 Parents own a Camry and an 07 es350 . IT is essentially a dressed up Camry. Drives the same, and same power but just a much better interior and amazingly quiet.
@dukviper90 Dont you feel the difference? my grandad owns 5 camry, also the asia version, yes they are more luxrus.. but then you still feel the difference on the road tho, well.. at least that's how I feel.. ofc, getting an ISF soon, i am a lexus fanboy, so i might be bias as well..
@jay5566f4 I'm all nissan. I have an 03 G35. The ES350 is a great car for what it's suppose to be. Can't complain. Load of technology and features and the quality is great.
hause, the car barely had 10K miles when it started exhibiting this behavior. Car has been in 4 times for alignment. No problems with the tires. Just that there is some problem with the steering itself that Lexus is in denial about. They have refused to fix my car and blatantly lied about it. How else do u explain the car drifting to the right on a crown that leans to the left when braking?
roads don't have crowns in India? What a minor bitch this is,it's a front strut that needs to be replaced.
Also, get a life while you're at it.

Shoulda bought a Trans Am or Corvette, much better cars, better handling, more power, and people won't think you are borrowing your girlfriends car.

the sales people lied to you. an RWD car will NEVER produce torque steer, EVER.
your car must be a Lemon car. try and look up the lemon laws for your state and testify against the dealership. tell me what happens.

All cars will drift when accelerating without holding the steering wheel!!!
You may need new tires or an alignment
