Default steering problems

I have a 2006 LX (purchased in 2010) and a few months ago my rotors became warped. I took it in and the dealership said they were fine. Shortly thereafter they got really bad so I took it back in and demanded they be replaced but in the meantime I noticed the vehicle started drifting all over the road and the steering became loose (slack). It has been in the dealership so many times over the past 6 months. in and out, in and out! everytime they say it's fixed. I became so upset I called Lexus - they sent a field rep out to look at it. aparently it was fixed but still don't know what they did because I can't seem to get a printout. the drifting has lessened, however there is still so much slack in the steering that it's hard to keep it on the road without a ton of effort! I am taking it this week for another opinion - to a private mechanic who drives his own Lexus and to another Lexus dealership. Anyone out there with the same issues? Please help! I am at my witts end! thanks! One last point...I have driven this vehicle for over a year without any problems or complaints about the steering - it drove great before.....
