veering left

Had complaints of our Toyota 8FBE20U lift trucks veering left and the steering locking when the throttle is quickly lifted , maintenance cannot find anything wrong with trucks. Just wandering if anyone else has experienced a similar condition ? Thank You

We've had the same issue with several of these units. Toyota thinks the problem is caused by static discharge.
Try installing a high carbon content rubber static strap to each drive motor. We did this on a couple of trucks, and so far so good.
