problem #61

Camry

  • 90,000 miles
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 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?

Camry

  • 2,000 miles
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.

Camry

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.

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.

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.

Camry

  • 52,000 miles
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.

Camry

  • 29,000 miles
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.

Camry

  • 125,000 miles
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.
