    Hi Guys please help me out,

    My 2017 4Runner Limited, have a very strange issue, it come to a point that it becomes very dangerous to drive on highways and I am thinking to get rid of this vehicle

    The issue is when ever I am on a highways at speed more than 62 mph (100 km/hr), only on turnings either direction sometimes turning toward right or sometimes turning towards left direction,
    it become very hard to control vehicle as it start getting out of lane, and when I try to bring it back on lane it feels like vehicle will roll over, then I have to apply breaks to bring the vehicle on lane, which makes dangerous for vehicles coming behind me

    Please guide me, and help me out if anyone of you go through similar situation, as it get so much on my nervous that my confidence on driving on highways are shaken,

    Thanks & Kind Regards

    Have you taken it to a mechanic to have it looked at?

    I had taken it to Toyota dealership, their mechanic checked they told me everything is ok, and he drove on highway, and checked everything and said all is good, the problem is it doesn't happen on low speed, and highways also if I drove more than 2 hours then its started

    I would find a new mechanic. Perhaps take them on a highway with you.
    Snickel Fritz is right. Answers to your problem can't be given on the internet. If I were having the issues you do, I would find a new mechanic and perhaps take them for a ride for them to experience the issue. I would also stop driving the 4Runner until this issue is resolved. It is hazardous to the safety of yourself and others on the road

    Newtotoyota beat me too it, that is my recommendation as well. That being said, based off your description of the issue it sounds like you may have an problem with your power steering. I would recommend asking the mechanic to pay attention to this particular area.
