Camry 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 6,000 miles
When the car was only six months old, the power steering started to make noise. I took the car to the dealer and was told the power steering pump had to be replaced, but that they would have to order the part. So, I had to make another trip to the dealer to have the work done (under warranty). After the repair the noise stopped, but the steering still didn't feel right to me. I took the car back to the dealer and they drove the car and inspected the steering system and told me everything looked fine. Nonetheless, I am quite sure the steering is different than when I first got the car. Sometimes the steering seems to catch and I feel like I don't have good control, particularly during a wide left turn through a large intersection.
