To the esteemed officials of the US Department of Transportation, My name is [XXX] and I am the owner of a 2015 Toyota Camry SE. I recently had my car repaired for a completely separate issue and while I addressed a problem with the steering, my mechanic made me aware of a 2015 recall for the Electrical Power Steering electronic control unit. I was provided with information regarding it. While my VIN number was not listed as an automobile affected by this issue, it is evident that this is what's occurring. My days have been spent on the phone with the manufacturer and was told numerous times that my VIN number was not identified in said recall. As a result, I was told not to drive my car due to it being a safety concern, meaning I could lose overall control of the car, and I am now lacking transportation. Please advise on how to proceed, I would like to get this matter resolved in a reasonable time. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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 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.

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 Camry' 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.
