Description of the problem | 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. |
