This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
If vehicle is in drive with engine running on a hill and rolls back a significant distance while in gear engine may shut off leading to a loss in power steering and brake control once booster looses reserve. also delays ability to move vehicle increasing risk for accident that could be avoided. am able to duplicate concern reliably.
Everytime the weather get cold my car make a whining noise that now of the Toyota dealers can figure out. I believe there a steering issue with Toyota.
The contact owned a 2011 Toyota Camry. While driving at an unknown speed, the steering wheel seized. As a result, the vehicle veered to the right, flipped over, and landed in a ditch. The driver sustained minor bruising that required medical attention. The driver was wearing a seat belt during the failure and the driver's seat belt fractured when the vehicle was upside down. The driver was unable to exit the vehicle without force. None of the air bags deployed. The contact forcefully exited the vehicle as a fire erupted under the hood. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed by the insurance company to a tow yard. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V732000 (suspension). The manufacturer was contacted and indicated that they sent an investigator, but the contact did not receive a written confirmation of the investigation from the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.
The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. While driving approximately 60 mph, the steering ability seized without warning. The failure occurred approximately ten times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.
Sun visor driver side is falling down on Camry 2011. Wont stay in the up position. Also took car to the dealership for noise in the steering and they said it was the steering shaft which is not covered under the 5 year warranty. Car only 58000 miles.
Steering column has a popping in it when turning. This happens while stationary and while moving. This is apparently a common problem through multiple generations of the Toyota Camry. It started around 50K miles and continues to get worse with time.
Since I bought this car, I have to repair everything, and I am making the payment every month. I was told the day I bought the car that the car was clean with no accident. I found out that the car got accident

The car star to shake when braked were applied at 55 mph this happened when the car was 2 years old now shakes really bad only when the brakes are use at high speed.
Entering the highway from and entrance ramp during rainy weather and as I turn the wheel the vehicle begins to loose control and the traction light comes on as I slide sideways off the ramp. This vehicle is very dangerous due to the steering problems it has that can't be fixed, also on dry ground this car is very difficult to keep in its lane especially at highway speeds. A recall was issued but my car isn't included even though I have the issue reported.
I cant keep this car in its lane, it veers to the left at all speeds and even worse at highway speeds. This is very dangerous and needs to be corrected by Toyota because the car will not take an alignment and pulls the driver into oncoming traffic constantly.
Car always makes a whining sound that gets louder upon acceleration, vehicle is impossible to keep in my lane especially at highway speeds, constant correcting needed to stay out of oncoming traffic or out of the lane left of me as car veers to the left. Cars has a transmission issue that causes jerking and slippage which also causes the car out of its lane.
I was driving in the right lane in a school zone, on a straight stretch. No other cars were near me. The steering wheel suddenly pulled to the right, causing the car to hit the curb. My first thought was, I had a flat tire, but I did not. Since it was not far, I decided to take my car to pohanka Toyota where I purchased it and have it serviced. The dealer replaced the right rear wheel hub, bearing and shock absorber....updated 10/22/14
The car requires almost constant driver input in the steering to maintain it within the lane of traffic at freeway speeds. There is play in the steering wheel and the car does not track securely while driving on a freeway. As a result it is fatiguing to constantly have to correct from right to left and back again left to right while driving at freeway speeds. Toyota rep and dealer mechanics claim there is no problem. It feels as though the electronic variable assist power steering is not decreasing when at freeway speeds as it is supposed to which causes the car to not track securely within it's lane. There are no tire or alignment issues. Toyota is pretending there is no problem and hoping I will go away.
