Description of the problem | 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. |
