2015 Toyota Camry Steering Problems

While driving at low speeds, your power steering suddenly stopped working, making it difficult to control the vehicle. This loss of steering assistance led to a crash that totaled your car. You believe this may be related to a known defect in the electric power steering system. The repair would likely involve diagnosing and replacing the power steering motor or electronic control module.

Your EPS (Electric Power Steering) warning light is turning on and you're experiencing power loss in your vehicle. Although your VIN wasn't included in a recall notice for this exact issue, your symptoms match those described in Toyota recall 15V144000 from March 2015. A technician should inspect your electric power steering system to determine if the recall applies to your vehicle or if there's a related electrical problem causing the power loss.

Your car's Electric Power Steering (EPS) warning light comes on intermittently while driving on the highway, sometimes causing the steering wheel to lock up. When this happens, several other systems reset on their own — including your stability control, tire pressure monitor, radio, and check engine light. The problems temporarily clear after you turn the car off and back on, but then happen again randomly over the next 1-3 hours of driving. You believe this matches a known Toyota issue, but the dealer and Toyota Customer Service are refusing to repair it or acknowledge it may affect your vehicle. The fix would likely require Toyota to issue a recall and reprogram or replace the electrical power steering control module.

Your 2015 Camry's electronic power steering control unit may be failing, which could cause you to lose steering control while driving. A mechanic identified this issue and linked it to a known recall, but Toyota says your VIN isn't listed as affected—yet the manufacturer advised you not to drive the car due to safety concerns. Resolving this will likely require Toyota to either update their recall database to include your vehicle or perform diagnostic testing and replacement of the power steering control unit.

Your car's electronic power steering stopped working properly while you were driving, forcing you to manually steer the wheel back to center after turning. No warning lights appeared on your dashboard. A mechanic found that a steering sensor had failed, which relates to a known Toyota steering issue (Campaign 15V144000). The steering system may need sensor replacement or recalibration to restore power steering function.

Steering pulls and is loose. Worse when braking. Intermittent problem. Acts like what I see has been recall on the 2015 Camry. Why not my vehicle? Just started. I have owned vehicle since 2017.

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated, and the RPM’s decreased to 0 and the vehicle jerked. The check engine warning light, electronic stability control, and traction control warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that she was able to veer the vehicle off the road. The vehicle was taken to a transmission specialist where the contact was informed that the electrical had failed and the EPS and ECU needed to be replaced. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V1440000 (Steering). The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number and advised to contact the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

The steering is loose and rattles. Difficulty with car control over 40 mph. Mechanic said they didn't see a safety issue but there is a broken part in the steering mechanism. No warning lights.

Over this past year my power steering light flickered on and off randomly and my radio/lights will turn off completely while driving. Over the last 30 days it has been difficult to turn my car , especially in slow or tight turns and the car make a loud humming/grinding sound in turns.

The car start having a small sound like something is loose, and over time the sound is more aggressive Steering column problem was been confirmed by a independent service center And the call was made to one of the Toyota centers asking for any recalls for that problem the car is having , and a prize for the part, they give the information that lately they already repair a hundred cars with the same problem !! Imaging the risk of that steering column represent The car has low miles

When the battery voltage is low, the power steering is loose. It becomes difficult to steer.

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, a warning chime sounded. The steering warning light and other unknown warning lights illuminated; however, the vehicle continued to operate normally and without incident. Upon investigation, the contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V144000 (Steering) which she associated to the failure. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

?The steering wheel buttons not woeking I can't see my speed limit and I can't hunk the whole thing is not working, , it is a safety issue I contacted them they will not change it for me, they said there is no recalls. but when I goolged it there is alot of peaple habe the same problem.

When traveling down the road, the car veers to the left and I must keep turning the steering wheel to the right to correct the pulling. Usually happens when the engine is cold, but is intermittent. Happens two-three time per month. I once brought to dealer while happening, but they found no issues. They kept the vehicle overnight but couldn’t repeat the problem. A week later it started pulling to the left again. I asked dealer if others had the same problem, they knew of none.

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving, the steering wheel was pulling to the right. The contact called the local dealer where an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

The car steering wheel turns to the right and lock and make it very difficult to control the vehicle . I almost crashed the car twice due to the steeling wheel locking up.... i need help ... i opened a case with Toyota ( case #: 211104000229) and they told me that i need to pay for the repairs... i explained to Toyota that my car is involved in a recall but they told me that yes but my VIN # is not listed... "WOW"... please see below the case study or information on the recall ... i don't have any money to fix the car ... i am taking the car in to Toyota tomorrow at 8:45am Garland Toyota in Gainesville, Florida... DATE ANNOUNCED MAR 13, 2015 VEHICLES AFFECTED 110,085 NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 15V144000

The steering wheel veers hard to the right and is very loose, uncontrollable, and inconsistent. In a situation that would require rapid response, this malfunction would make it dangerous because you lose the precise and responsive steering functions necessary to maneuver accurately. This has happened about six different times and seems random. It will disappear when I turn off the car. The vehicle has not been inspected for the problem. There were no warning lamps or other indicators.

Pulls hard to the left at times at speeds less than 40 mph It is an intermittent problem Not caused by tires or wheels - they have been changed

THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER NOR DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,868.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HEADLIGHTS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY CUT OFF , FUSES KEEP BLOWING, GEAR SHIFT LOCKS UP, AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO FALLON FORD-TOYOTA (1351 W WILLIAMS AVE, FALLON, NV 89406; (775) 423-2171) WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE.

RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A SOFT STEERING RESPONSE, AND THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY VEERS TO THE RIGHT (AT ANY SPEED). WEIRDLY THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT HAS BEEN SPORADIC, BUT MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 1/19/21. SURPRISINGLY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, AND THEN ON AGAIN, THE ISSUE DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. OUR BIGGEST FEAR IS IF THIS ERRATIC STEERING ISSUE WERE TO SUDDENLY START ACTING UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. OUR CAMRY WAS PURCHASED IN DEC'14, AND WE HAVE NOTICED THERE WERE A RECALL FOR SOME CAMRYS' OF THAT YEAR. COULD OUR CAMRY BATCH HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEMS NOT AS APPARENT AS THOSE ALREADY RECALLED? PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS STEERING ISSUES SEEM TO BE THE TOP PROBLEM FOR THE 2015 CAMRY ON CARPROBLEMZOO.COM, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE ALSO NOTING THE SAME DEFECT BUT THEIR CAR'S VIN IS NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST. THIS COINCIDENCE SEEM QUITE HIGH ESPECIALLY FOR A YEAR WITH STEERING PROBLEM RECALLS, BUT SOMEHOW ONLY COVERING CERTAIN VINS.

NORMAL STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING GOES SOFT AND VEERS TO THE RIGHT. CHECKED AIR PRESSURE REPORTING NORMAL. WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENT DURING THE FORTY MINUTE DRIVE. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE.

VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY STEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN MOTION. DOESN'T MATTER IF ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT THE ISSUE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 66K MILES.

CAR SPORADICALLY PULLS TO THE LEFT WHETHER OR NOT I AM TURNING. AFTER IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THEN CAR STARTED, CAR DRIVES NORMALLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 OR 6 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS FOR AN ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS ALSO STATED BY MANY OTHER OWNERS ONLINE..

THE WHEEL STARTS PULLING RIGHT AND THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO VERY HARD TO TURN WITH A POPPING NOISE THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS MORE OFTEN AND ONLY WANTS TO TURN RIGHT. IT ALSO DOES IT ON MAIN STREETS HIGHWAY ETC OFF AND ON SEEMS DANGEROUS.

AS I DRIVE DOWN A ROAD MOSTLY WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED, THE STEERING GOES VERY ERRATIC. IT GETS A WIDE RANGE OF MOVEMENT AND FEELS AS IF I AM LOSING CONTROL. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AS I DRIVE IT. MY HUSBAND LOOKED IT UP AND THERE HAD BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR STEERING IN THE 2015 CAMRY, BUT, NO RECALL FOR MY CAR WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN #.

THE STEERING WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT SAFE ON THE HIGHWAY.... HARD STEERING CONTROL... PULL TIRES ON THE HIGHWAY..NOT SAFE

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE STARTS TURNING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT , EVERY SO OFTEN. DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TRIP ,BUT ENOUGH TO REALIZE THERE IS A PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING STEERING STARTED PULLING TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. ALIGNMENT, OUTER, INNER TIE RODS, LOWER AND UPPER BALL JOINTS AND STRUT MOUNTS ALL CHECKED NORMAL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODES. CAR GOES STRAIGHT AFTER TURNING OFF AND BACK BUT CAN SUDDENLY START PULLING. CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND CAR VIN IS NOT PART OF CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING) WHICH IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY PULLED TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GERMAIN TOYOTA OF NAPLES (13315 TAMIAMI TRAIL N, NAPLES, FL 34110) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED DUE TO THE COST. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS NOTIFIED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,700.

WHEN DRIVING MY WHEEL WILL RANDOMLY START VEERING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE WHEEL ALSO BECOMES MUCH LOOSER AND IS HARDER TO CONTROL. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE MY CAR IS STATIONARY OR WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

MY MOTHER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COST HER LIFE. THE BLACK BOX ON THE CAR SAYS THAT THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION IN THE POWER STEERING THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO PULL SHARPLY TO THE LEFT. THIS CAUSED HER TO HIT A CONCRETE MEDIAN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHERE HER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. HER SPINE BROKE IN 4 PLACES AND SUFFERED 7 BROKEN RIBS.*DT*JB

NOISE WHEN STEERING FROM STANDING STOP.

CAR PULLS STRONGLY TO THE LEFT. MECHANIC SAID SUSPENSION IS GOOD,MUST BE ELECTRIC STEERING. TIRES ARE GOOD. CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 15V144000

THE STEERING BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, SOMETIMES PULLS ONE WAY OTHER TIMES THE OTHER WAY. THEN IT WORKS FINE, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING ABILITY. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION, AND IT'S HAPPENED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY GOING AT 20 MPH AND WHEN ON HIGHWAY IT SEEMED TO CORRECT IT SELF AT 50-60 MPH??

CAR PULLS SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AFTER STARTING UP AND DRIVING. IF I STOP AND TURN OF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR IT WILL RUN PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF I PARK THE CAR AND HAVE THE WHEELS TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AS WHEN YOU ARE ON A HILL. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I REALIZED I COULD CORRECT THE PULLING BY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WITH THE WHEELS POINTING STRAIGHT.THE 2015 CAMRY HAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING ISSUE (#15V144000) BUT TOYOTA MANUFACTURER STATES THAT MY VIN # ISN'T COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS (50+) ON LINE AND WITH BLUEBOOK ON THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T SEE ANY INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. MAYBE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. IF I PAY TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE AND A RECALL IS ISSUED IS TOYOTA REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE ME? THE PROBLEM STARTED SPORADICALLY IN MARCH 2020 BUT MORE OFTEN NOW. WITH COVID-19 I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING REGULARLY.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND SUDDENLY I COMPLETELY LOSS POWER STEERING CONTROL. I NEARLY CRASHED! MY STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE WHILE IT MADE AN AWFUL "GRINDING" NOISE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING ON LOS ANGELES AVENUE (118 HWY) IN MOORPARK, CA. I DO NOT RECALL IF I WAS TURNING; BUT I RECALL I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THEN TOOK OFF AND SUDDENLY LOSS POWER STEERING. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY EXACT PROBLEM AND MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF MY CAR (2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2.5L AT). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NO RECALL AND WON'T HONOR MY INFORMATION. THE EXACT RECALL # = 15V144000. PLEASE HELP, I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND DON'T HAVE OVER $2000+ TO FIX ACCORDING TO SIMI VALLEY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. [XXX]. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!

CAR PULLS SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT RIGHT AFTER STARTING UP AND DRIVING. IF I TURN OFF IGNITION AND RESTART IT WILL RUN PROPERLY. IT OCCURS AROUND 30 PERCENT OF THE TIME.

HI , I'M REPORTING THIS STEERING PROBLEM CAUSE IT'S GETTING WORSE AND STILL NO RECALL. I TOOK IT IN AND TOYOTA CODED IT ON COMPUTER AND NO CODE CAME UP. THEY NEVER TEST DROVE IT EITHER. CAUSE IT PULLS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND A CONSTANT WHINING. IT DOES THAT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ITS STARTING TO GET SCARY. I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE. IT'S MY ONLY ONE I GOT. PLEASE RECALL MY CAR. IT'S GOT 49,000 MILES AND 2015 CAMRY. THIS IS OVER A 175 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS STEERING PROBLEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR TOYOTA TO CHECK IT AGAIN. IT'S OBVIOUS SOUND NOW. THANKS

WHILE IN MOTION, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY TURNS TO THE LEFT.

AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR AND MOTOR TESTED FINE. WOUND UP REPLACING THE CAR'S BATTERY AND THAT CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED, AND THE BATTERY TESTED WITHIN SPECS BUT WAS ON THE LOW END OF ACCEPTABLE. APPARENTLY IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, BUT STILL WITHIN SPECS, IT CAN AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ELECTRIC STEERING MOTOR AND OR SENSOR AND RESULT IN PULLING IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER.

WHEN DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR DEPLOYED BY ITS SELF AND WOULD NOT STOP THE STEERING WHEEL IS SO LOOSE AND I HAVE NO CONTROLL

CAN GOES OUT OF CONTROL

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD EITHER VEER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU HAVE TO STOP THE CAR TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WILL ALSO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN OR NOT ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN EVEN IF YOU ARE CONTROLLING THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR DOES WHAT IT WANTS. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE ONE TIME WE ALMOST HIT A CURB WITH THE TIRES BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR IT WAS GOING WHERE I WANTED TO. THE TIRES WERE OUT EXTREMELY FAST I NEVER HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES BECAUSE THEY WEAR OUT WAY BEFORE THE WARRANTY THERE LIKE BALD WITH IN LIKE A COUPLE MONTHS SOMETIMES EVEN TO JUST TWO MONTHS AND THEY'RE BALD AND THE ALIGNMENT SPINE I'VE HAD IT CHECKED. I CHANGE ALL THE FLUIDS ON TIME AND TAKING CARE OF MAINTAINING THE CAR I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S DOING THIS CAN YOU PLEASE FIGURE IT OUT?

WHILE DRIVING UNDER 30 MPH THE STEERING PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT, DIFFICULT TO KEEP STRAIGHT AND IN THE LANE. STEERING FELT LIGHT AND SLOPPY, LIKE A LOW TIRE OR STEERING GEAR ISSUE, VERY DANGEROUS. FASTER SPEEDS NOT AS BAD. TOWED TO DEALER, DIAGNOSED AS A "LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY". CAR STARTED AS USUAL WITH NO WARNING OF INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WARNING LIGHT BUT IT NEVER CAME ON. THE MANUAL SAYS IT MAY COME ON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE STEERING ACTS UP WITHOUT ANY OTHER WARNINGS. THIS IS PROBABLY A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND NOT ISOLATED TO JUST MY CAR, ANY TOYOTA WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING.

CAR PULLS EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. WHEN MAKING A TURN STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN. THE CAR JUST KEEPS TURNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON VERY LOW SPEEDS OR SPEEDS OF 35 TO 45 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SENSOR PROBLEM, ALTERNATOR PROBLEM OR SOMETHING INVOLVING THE TOW BAR OR RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER:[XXX]. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,900. *LN *BF CONSUMER STATED BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT STILL HAS ISSUES WITH THE STEERING, WHERE CONSUMER HAD NO CONTROL OVER STEERING.

MY 2015 CAMRY PULLS TO THE RIGHT AT A LOW SPEEDS (5-35MPH) THE STEERING IS VERY SENSITIVE, AND WHEN I CORRECT THE POSITION AND LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL, IT GOES BACK TO THE RIGHT. HOWEVER IT DOES ALIGN AFTER I REACH A CERTAIN SPEED (40MPH>), AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING OR WHEN I GO SOMEWHERE AND HAVE TO START THE CAR UP AGAIN.

VEHICLE DRIVING NORMALLY UNTIL 85000 MILES. SPORADICALLY NOW PULLS HARD TO RIGHT OR LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS. SEEMS DEPENDENT UPON WHEEL POSITION WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS, TURNING THE WHEELS TO STRAIGHT POSITION PRIOR TO TURNING IGNITION OFF SEEMS TO CORRECT TEMPORARILY.

LEFT MY HOME AT 7:55 AM THIS MORNING TO DRIVE TO WORK ON CITY STREETS. MAX SPEED 55. ARRIVED AT WORK APPROX. 7 MIN LATER AND PARKED. LEFT WORK AT 5:30 PM TO GO HOME. ON THE WAY I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MISALIGNED AND THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT AT MODERATE SPEEDS. MAX SPEED 45MPH. IT SEEMS TO ROLL STRAIGHT AT SPEEDS BELOW 10 MPH AND PULLS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 10 MPH.

WO WEEKS AGO THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WOULD NOT STOP PULLING UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. SOMETIME TURNING THE IGNITION OFF DID NOT HELP. YESTERDAY STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE LEFT! WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL IGNITION TURNED OFF. PROBLEM IS WORST AT LOW SPEED, OR STOPED AND THEN ACCERATING SLOWLY. CITY STREET IS WORST, AND TURING WHILE ACCERATING CAR PULLS EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AT RANDOM

MY CAR WILL START PULLING TO THE RIGHT, AFTER I PARK IT , IT WILL START PULLING TO THE LEFT AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. MY CAR HAS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, DRIVING DOWN HWY 249 I COULD ONLY DRIVE 45 MILES A HOUR WITH MY EMERGENCY FLASHER ON. I AM 71 YES OLD AND I HAVE TO USE MY CAR FOR WORK.

STEERING PROBLEM- 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE RIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT ALIGN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PARKED, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART ENGINE AND START DRIVING, THE STEERING PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THE WHEEL IS PERFECTLY ALIGNED AT LOW AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TURN THE CAR ON LATER AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE RIGHT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING, THIS SYMPTOM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROX. 3 DAYS. LOOKED UP HELP ONLINE AND FOUND 'ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)' AND 'STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM' DAMAGES DURING MANUFACTURE PROCESS OR MANUFACTURE PART DEFECT. THIS SPORADIC STEERING PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 46,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS ONLY USE TO GO TO WORK AND HOME AND DRIVEN ON AVG 20 MILES DAILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER ASSIST FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED TOYOTA CASE NUMBER: 1908190590. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

STEERING INTERMITTENTLY PULLS THE DRIVING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. SOMETIMES DOES AND OTHERS NO.

MY CAR WAS DRIVING AND MY LIGHTS WENT CRAZY AND WHEELS LOCKED UP I CHANGED BATTERY CHANGED ALTERNATOR AND SOMETHING STILL DRAINING BATTERY AND IT'S THE ECU FOR MY POWER STEERING

I HAVE 52,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I NEVER HAD PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING UNTIL RECENTLY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 5-55 MY CAR WILL PULL HARD TO THE LEFT. WHEN I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, IT STOPS BUT AFTER A LITTLE WHILE OF DRIVING AGAIN IT WILL PULL HARD TO THE RIGHT. IT'S ALWAYS AT RANDOM TIMES AND I NEVER KNOW WHICH WAY IT WILL PULL AND IT DOESN'T PULL AT ALL TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND LAST WEEK I STARTED TO HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY GARAGE I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AS I PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET. I THOUGHT THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING FLAT. UPON CHECKING ALL TIRES THE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT. I THEN TOOK THE CAR OUT AGAIN AND THE STEERING CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE LEFT. I RETURNED TO HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR OUT AND IT PERFORMED NORMALLY. I DROVE IT FOR TWO MORE DAYS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. ON THE THIRD DAY AS I WAS DRIVING I TOOK A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR WANTED TO CONTINUE TURNING LEFT. FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MILES THE CAR CONTINUED PULLING LEFT. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY SUGGESTED THE NORMAL THINGS TIRE PRESSURE, ALIGNMENT, ETC. HOWEVER A CHECK OF THOSE PROVED NOT TO BE THE CAUSE. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHER 2015 CAMRY OWNERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A LIMITED RECALL ON THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. TODAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS NORMAL. IN THE LAST WEEK I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE INSTANCES OF THE VEHICLE PULLING SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND CONTINUED PULLING TO THE LEFT FOR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE IT RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THIS ALL HAPPENED DURING CITY DRIVING WITH SPEEDS BELOW 45 MPH. THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR FRONT END COLLISION FOUR MONTH AGO. THE DAMAGE WAS COSMETIC INCLUDING THE FRONT BUMPER GRILL AND HOOD. THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL DAMAGE AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN A BODY SHOP AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST WEEKS INCIDENT WITH THE STEERING.

THE 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SPORADICALLY PULLS HARD TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AT SLOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS (BETWEEN 5-50 MPH). THIS JUST SUDDENLY BEGAN TO HAPPEN. WITH FORCE THE VEHICLE CAN BE KEPT IN LINE, BUT THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. I CHECKED AND THIS VEHICLES VIN IS NOT IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL.

I GOT CAMRY SE 2015 IN AUGUST 2015 AND AFTER 18 MONTHS BATTERY TOTALLY OUT OF FUNCTION SO I REPLACED BATTERY NOW LAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE ISSUE WITH STEERING TROUBLE SHOOOTING. STEERING DOING BUZZING WEIRD SOUND AND I CONTACT TO TOYOTA BECAUSE I HEARD THAT 110,000 RECALLS THOSE TIME FOR STEERING ISSUE AND THEY SAID AS PER YOUR VIN NUMBER YOUR VEHICLE NOT RECALL. I WENT TO CAR MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ABLE TO FIND A THIS SOUND. I AM WORRYING ABOUT ANY MY CAR IS EFFECTED ANY MANUFACTURER ISSUE BECAUSE WITHIN SHORT TIME BATTERY GONE AND NOW STEERING ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED AND PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE FORCE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO TOYOTA OF SURPRISE (13543 N AUTOSHOW AVE, SURPRISE, AZ 85388, (623) 469-6027). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

TWICE NOW, WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, AFTER PULLING INTO MY SUBDIVISION STREET THE CAR HAS PULLED SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT BUT AFTER DRIVING SLOWLY AROUND FOR A WHILE AND STOPPING AND BACKING UP THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IF THE CAR WERE TO CONTINUE TO PULL SO SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT IT WOULD BE UNSAFE AND UNDRIVABLE. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS AN INTERMITTANT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING OR PERHAPS A STICKING PARKING BRAKE OR STICKING BRAKE CYLINDER. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK IT AFTER THE FIRST TIME BUT HE COULDN'T REPEAT THE PROBLEM (BUT HE ONLY DROVE THE CAR AFTER IT HAD ALREADY CLEARED UP).

STEERING SUDDENLY STARTED PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT AT SLOW SPEEDS. ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINT FORUMS, THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON DEFECT. THIS DEFECT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS A LIMITED RECALL ON THIS DEFECT ALREADY. WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE GETTING CHEATED BY BEING EXCLUDED FROM THE EXISTING RECALL ON THIS WIDELY KNOWN DANGEROUS DEFECT?

AT RANDOM TIMES THE STEERING WOULD START PULLING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT PRETTY HARD. IT SEEMS LIKE IF THE WHEEL IS TURNED IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THAT'S THE DIRECTION IT WOULD PULL TO. TOYOTA RECALLED OVER 110,00 OF THAT YEAR AND MODEL FOR AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ECU AND MY VEHICLE ISN'T A PART OF THAT RECALL BUT THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD BE AS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD START PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT. IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STRAIGHTENED THE WHEEL OUT AND TURNED IT BACK ON, THE PROBLEM WOULD DISAPPEAR AND THEN RANDOMLY IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER

WHILE DRIVING CAR CONSISTENTLY PULLS LEFT THEN AFTER PARKING AND SHUTTING THE CAR OFF THE CAR PULLS RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A ROW RIGHT THEN LEFT THEN RIGHT. THE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY PULLS LEFT UNTIL DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, THEN AT NEXT START IT PULLS RIGHT. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR. THE STEERING FEELS IMPRECISE AND JUST AFTER STARTING THE CAR ACTUALLY PULLS INTO OTHER LANE

THIS STARTED HAPPENING THIS WEEK. IF THE FRONT TIRES ARE POINTING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED, THE CAR WILL PULL HARD TO THAT SIDE WHEN I START DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN TURN THE CAR, BUT THE STEERING SEEMS LESS RESPONSIVE THAN NORMAL. PULLING OVER WITH THE FRONT TIRES FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD, SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTARTING THE CAR SEEMS TO RESET SOMETHING IN THE STEERING AND THE STEERING WILL WORK NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THE STEERING ON THIS CAR. I CHECKED AND MY VIN IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT, BUT IT'S CLEAR FROM READING OTHER REPORTS ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND UNSOLVED PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.

DRIVER'S SEATBELT IS HARD TO RELEASE WHEN APPLIED STEERING WHEEL MAKES A NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS,WETHER OR NOT VEHICLE IS IN MOTION;LIKE IF IT NEEDED FLUID BUT CHECKED THE STEERING WHEEL FLUID AND LEVEL IS OK,BUT STILL STEERING WHEEL MAKES NOISE LIKE IF SOMETHING IT DEFECTED.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN TURNED OFF

WHILE OPERATING AT LOW SPEED, THE CAR STARTED TO STEER TO THE LEFT, REQUIRING PHYSICAL RESTRAINT TO KEEP IT MOVING STRAIGHT. WITHOUT RESTRAINT, IT WOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE CURB. AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, AND FOLLOWING A 2 HOUR DELAY, THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND DID NOT EXHIBIT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE, THEY INDICATED THAT THIS VIN WAS NOT COVERED BY THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM THAT AFFECTED OTHER CAMRY'S OF THE SAME YEAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING.

MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SE LOSS POWER STEERING AND VEERED LEFT ON A STRAIGHT ROAD . THE STERING WAS HARD TO CONTROL AND HAD TO KEEP TURNING RIGHT TO GO STAIGHT. THIS EPISODE COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON A BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN VIRGINIA. WILL NOT DRIVE CAR UNTIL THE MECHANIC LET ME KNOW THE PROBLEM. NHTSA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL 2015 CAMRY TO FIX THE ELECTRONIC BOARDS BEFORE FATALITIES.. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING). THE DEALER (PRECISION TOYOTA OF TUCSON, 700 W WETMORE RD, TUCSON, AZ 85705, 1-(520) 795-5565) AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND REMAINED PARKED DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND EXPECTED THE VEHICLE OWNER TO HAVE THE DEALER DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM ALL OF A SUDDEN FAILED. I HAVE TO MANUALLY FORCE THE WHEELS TO TURN. STEERING IS A LITTLE BETTER AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT STILL HAS A LIMITED RANGE OF STEERING, ESPECIALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS.

MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY STARTING HAVING SERIOUS STEERING ISSUES. AS OF MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL RANDOMLY PULL TO EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE AND SEEMS FEEL VERY LOOSE WHILE DRIVING, AS IF THERE IS NO SELF SUSTAINED STABILITY OR RESISTANCE. I HAVE RESEARCHED, AND FOUND THAT THE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR HAS A RECALL FOR FAILED "ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM". UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH, THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO A LIMITED AMOUNT OF VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS LOGGING THE SAME COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE MAY VERY WELL STRETCH FAR BEYOND THE VEHICLES FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE WISE OF TOYOTA AND/OR NHTSA, AS WELL AS BENEFICIAL TO MANY TOYOTA CUSTOMERS (BOTH CURRENT AND FUTURE) TO REVISIT THE LIMITED RECALL WITH THE IDEA OF EXPANDING IT TO INCLUDE MORE 2015 MODEL CAMRY'S. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS, AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING, ISSUE.

IT ALL STARTED BACK IN JUNE OF 2018. MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO PULL TO THE LEFT AND I INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT I HAVE A FLAT TIRE, BUT IT WAS NOT THE CASE. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS. WHEN MY CAR IS TURNED ON AND START MOVING, THE STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT. IT PULLS MOSTLY TO THE LEFT AND LOSES ACCURATE CONTROL OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING. IT DOESN'T STOP PULLING UNTIL THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. THEN STEERING IS BACK TO NORMAL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (WORLDTOYOTA, 5800 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD, ATLANTA, GA 30341) ON JULY 19, 2018 AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DIDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN WORSENING AND HAPPENS ALL THE TIME RIGHT NOW.

STEERING WILL STOP AT LEFT OR RIGHT POSITION WHILE DRIVING INSTEAD OF STOPPING AT STRAIGHT POSITION. RESTARTING THE CAR WILL FIX THE PROBLEM BUT WILL OCCUR AFTER FEW DAYS. SAME SITUATION OCCURED MULTIPLE TIME SO GOT ALIGNMENT DONE YESTERDAY BUT PROBLEM STILL THERE. SEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY, BUT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THEIR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON RECALL LOST. CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND IT WAS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST. THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE FIXED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED DRIVING WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT SAFE SPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS.

TAKATA RECALL FEELS LIKE A LOOSE PART MOVING WHEN TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (NEWBOLD TOYOTA, 1282 CENTRAL PARK DR, O'FALLON, IL 62269, (618) 628-7000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1808291305. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT LAST MONTH IN REFERENCE TO MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYMBOL CAME ON IN MY CAR. I DIDN'T DRIVE MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON HAVING A CRASH. SO ON AUGUST 18, 2018, I DECIDED TO DRIVE MY CAR AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON AND THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON, BUT MY STEERING WHEEL PULLS FROM THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT IF MY HANDS ARE TAKEN OFF THE WHEEL FOR A MINUTE. AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK THE WHEEL BECAME VERY LOOSELY TO THE TOUCH OF SLIGHTLY HOLDING IT. IT STEER IN THE DIRECTION OF LEFT AS I'M TRAVELING STRAIGHT UP THE ROAD.

I WAS FUELING UP MY CAR, AND UPON ME TURNING THE KEY TO START UP MY AUTOMOBILE, IT DIDN'T RESPOND. I NOTICED THE SYMBOL ON THE DASHBOARD THAT HAD A CIRCLE WITH A TRIANGLE DRAWN DOWNWARD WITH A CIRCULAR ITEM AT THE TOP OF THE TRIANGLE SYMBOL WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT SYMBOL BESIDE IT. I ALSO INFORMED TOYOTA THAT MY SEATBELT DIDN'T BEEP TO LET ME THAT IT WASN'T CLICKED.I THEN NOTIFIED MY LOCAL TOYOTA COMPANY TO SEE IF I COULD BRING MY CAR IN FOR A INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST SINCE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TAKATA RECALL- I NOTICED THE LAST WEEK AS I'M DRIVING MY SPEED FEELS AS IF IT'S DECREASING BUT THE SPEED ODOMETER IS NOT DECREASING AND WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL ( LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS) IT MAKING SCREECHING SOUNDS, AT FIRST THE SOUNDS WAS LIGHT BUT YOU CAN HEAR IT BUT TODAY (8-3-18) AS I TURN IN THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT IT WAS VERY LOUD AND I BARELY WAS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. ONCE I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR, CUT THE IGNITION ON AND BACKED OUT THERE WAS NO SCREECHING SOUND BUT AS I'M DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HEAD HOME THE SPEED STARTS BACK DECREASING A LITTLE, WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DIVE WAY THE SCREECHING SOUND STARTED BACK.

IS MAKING A NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE AND THE STEERING IS FUNNY

AT 25-40 MPR THE STEERING UNEXPECTEDLY VEERS RIGHT OR LEFT. WHEN MAKING A TURN, STEERING FREQUENTLY DOES NOT RETURN TO NORMAL. ON OCCASION, THE STEERING SLOWLY PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT AS IF THE TIRE HAS LOW INFLATION. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS STEERING COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2015 CAMRY, THE DEALER SAID THAT OUR VIN# IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. I WOULD APPRECIATE ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA.

CAR WILL PULL HARD LEFT ON OCCASION WHILE DRIVING. ONCE CAR IS STOPPED AND RE-STARTED, ISSUE GOES AWAY. PULL IS HARD ENOUGH TO FORCE CAR INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC. ALL EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND VERIFIED IN GOOD WORKING ORDER MULTIPLE TIMES. MECHANICS BELIEVE ISSUE MAY BE WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL BUT CANNOT VERIFY AS ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AND IS RANDOM. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON HIGHWAYS, PARKING LOTS, CITY STREETS, ETC. CONDITION IS NOT AFFECTED BY DRIVING SURFACE. LAST OCCURANCE WAS 7/7/18.

WHEN IN MOTION AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS, THE STEERING OFTEN VEERS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT UNEXPECTEDLY, AND AFTER MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING TENDS TO REMAIN IN THE TURN AND DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY RETURN TO A NEUTRAL POSITION.

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTS TO PULL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND LOOSES ACCURATE CONTROL OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING.

SEERING WHEEL WAS SHIFTING RIGHT AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT THIS TIME TO THE LEFT, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN MADE IT STOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,100.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING: AT TIMES CAR WOULD PULL VERY HARD TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS. THE PULL WAS SO STRONG THAT IT WOULD PULL YOU OFF OF THE ROAD IF YOU WEREN'T GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY. THE PROBLEM WOULD PERSIST UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED REACHED APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND DETERMINED 'TORQUE SENSOR FOR STEERING OUT OF WHACK NEEDS BOTH GEAR, COLUMN, AND ECM COMPUTER.' THE 2015 CAMRY HAS A RECALL ON THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BUT I AM TOLD MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS DEFECT IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED UNEXPECTEDLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

STEERING WHEEL LOSE CONTROL AND THE HAS TO BE HELD DOWN, TAKING THE WHEELS OUT OF CONTROL AND SWAYS FROM SIDE TO SIDE, SOMETIMES ON THE LEFT SOME TIMES ON THE RIGHT (STEERING WHEEL ASSIST)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND INDEPENDENTLY RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. TOYOTA DIRECT (4248 MORSE RD, COLUMBUS, OH 43230, (614) 476-1979)WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WOULD BE A COST ASSESSED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,048.

WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AT REGULAR OR SLOW SPEED, THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT FLASHES ON FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS WHILE TURNING LEFT. MAINTENANCE TO THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN PERFORMED BY A TOYOTA DEALER.

THERE USED TO BE WHINING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL WHILE LEAVING PARKING. THIS MONTH I NOTICED THE STEERING SOMETIMES FEELS LOOSE WHILE DRIVING EITHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. SOMETIMES IT VEERS LEFT, SOMETIMES VEERS RIGHT AND SOMETIMES NORMAL.

THE CAR WAS IN OPERATION MODE ON THE FREEWAY, WHILE EXITING THE RAMP- THE CAR STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE STEERING FAILED TO MANEUVER , I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE STEERING TO LEFT AND RIGHT- NO IMPROVEMENT. I HAD TAKEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A FAIL ATTEMPT AS THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. FINALLY, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP QUOTED $350 JUST TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. I HAD NEARLY SPENT OVER $1000 IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS- THE FEES DO NOT INCLUDE TOWING FEES. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THIS OCCURRED THE EXIT OF THE DIRECTION.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON FRIDAY AUGUST 18TH AT ABOUT 35 MPH. ON A STRAIGHT ROADI SUDDENLY LOST MY STEERING. WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT IT THE RIGHT FROM WHEEL WAS TURNED 90 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT. WHEN LOOKING AT IT IT LOOKS LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT AXEL BROKE OR TIE RODS OR WHATEVER IS UNDER THERE. WHEN THE COLCHESTER POLICE CAME THEY DID NOT FILE AN ACCIDENT REPORT SINCE IT WAS THEIR BELIEF THAT SOMETHING ON THE CAR HAD BROKEN. THE OFFICER TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY TO ONLY BE GOING 35 AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 65. WHEN THE WRECKER CAME HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS ON A CAMRY. I DID NOT HIT A POTHOLE OR CURB OR ANYTHING ELSE. NOW TOYOTA (HERITAGE TOYOTA, SOUTH BURLINGTON VT. IS NOT CONVINCED THAT IT WAS A DEFECT. THEY ARE WAITING FOR THEIR REGIONAL OFFICE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION. JUST TALKED TO HERITAGE TOYOTA AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A DEFECT. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT SAY WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY ARE ACTING LIKE THIS IS AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS IN CASE ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT AT TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILE WAS 75,000.

DURING AUG 2016 I WENT TO GET SOME LUNCH AND WHEN I TURNED OFF THE PARKING RAMP THE CAR WAS FINE. ONCE I ENTERED ON TO THE FWY AND APPROACHED THE SPEED OF 50 MY STEERING WHEEL FROZE AND WOULD NOT TURN EITHER WAY. I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN ON THE FWY FOR FEAR OF BEING HIT, SO I JUST STAYED IN MY LANE AND BEGIN TO EXIT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL ONCE I CAME TO A STOP I HAD HELP GETTING THE CAR TO MY HOUSE AND CALLED AAA TO TOW THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP BY MY JOB AND FOUND OUT THE POWER STEERING UNIT JUST STOPPED. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE RACKNPENION. THE LIGHT WHERE YOU SHIFT GEARS WENT OUT, SO CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WHAT GEAR I'M IN. DRIVE OR REVERSE.
