I got Camry SE 2015 in August 2015 and after 18 months battery totally out of function so I replaced battery now last few weeks I have issue with steering trouble shoooting. Steering doing buzzing weird sound and I contact to Toyota because I heard that 110,000 recalls those time for steering issue and they said as per your VIN number your vehicle not recall. I went to car mechanic and they said they are able to find a this sound. I am worrying about any my car is effected any manufacturer issue because within short time battery gone and now steering issue.
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel failed and pulled to the left. The contact had to use force to steer the vehicle. The failure occurred intermittently. The contact pulled the vehicle over and had it towed to Toyota of surprise (13543 N autoshow ave, surprise, AZ 85388, (623) 469-6027). The dealer diagnosed the vehicle, but did not find a failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 37,000.
Twice now, within a few weeks, after pulling into my subdivision street the car has pulled severely to the right but after driving slowly around for a while and stopping and backing up the problem goes away. If the car were to continue to pull so severely to the right it would be unsafe and undrivable. I don't know if there is an intermittant problem with the steering or perhaps a sticking parking brake or sticking brake cylinder. I had a mechanic look it after the first time but he couldn't repeat the problem (but he only drove the car after it had already cleared up).
Steering suddenly started pulling hard to the left at slow speeds. According to the complaint forums, this is a very, very common defect. This defect is highly dangerous. There was a limited recall on this defect already. Why are so many people getting cheated by being excluded from the existing recall on this widely known dangerous defect?
At random times the steering would start pulling either left or right pretty hard. It seems like if the wheel is turned in a certain direction when the vehicle is started that's the direction it would pull to. Toyota recalled over 110,00 of that year and model for an electronic power steering ECU and my vehicle isn't a part of that recall but the same thing is happening to a lot of other people. While driving it would be as straight as an arrow and then all of a sudden it would start pulling left or right. If I turned the car off and straightened the wheel out and turned it back on, the problem would disappear and then randomly it would happen again a few days later

While driving car consistently pulls left then after parking and shutting the car off the car pulls right while driving. So far this has happened 3 times in a row right then left then right. The VIN is not part of the current recall.
After starting the car unexpectedly pulls left until driven for a while, then at next start it pulls right. After driving for a while the problem seems to disappear. The steering feels imprecise and just after starting the car actually pulls into other lane
This started happening this week. If the front tires are pointing to the left or right when the car is first started, the car will pull hard to that side when I start driving down the road. I can turn the car, but the steering seems less responsive than normal. Pulling over with the front tires facing straight ahead, shutting off the car and then restarting the car seems to reset something in the steering and the steering will work normally. This has happened numerous times. There is something really wrong with the steering on this car. I checked and my VIN is not part of any recall. I have an appointment to have the dealership look at, but it's clear from reading other reports online that this is a common and unsolved problem with this particular vehicle.
Driver's seatbelt is hard to release when applied steering wheel makes a noise when making turns, wether or not vehicle is in motion;like if it needed fluid but checked the steering wheel fluid and level is ok, but still steering wheel makes noise like if something it defected.
While operating at low speed, the car started to steer to the left, requiring physical restraint to keep it moving straight. Without restraint, it would have gone into the curb. After the car was turned off, and following a 2 hour delay, the car was restarted and did not exhibit the problem. When I called Toyota customer care, they indicated that this VIN was not covered by the NHTSA recall notice about the same problem that affected other Camry's of the same year. This appears to be a very dangerous condition that Toyota is not addressing.
My 2015 Toyota Camry SE loss power steering and veered left on a straight road. The stering was hard to control and had to keep turning right to go staight. This episode could have caused a major accident on a busy 4 lane highway in Virginia. Will not drive car until the mechanic let me know the problem. NHTSA needs to recall all 2015 Camry to fix the electronic boards before fatalities.. thank you.
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same failure as listed in NHTSA campaign number: 15V144000 (steering). The dealer (precision Toyota of tucson, 700 w wetmore rd, tucson, AZ 85705, 1-(520) 795-5565) and the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was excluded from the recall campaign. The vehicle was not diagnosed and remained parked due to the intermittent failure. The manufacturer was notified and expected the vehicle owner to have the dealer diagnose and repair the vehicle. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Electric steering system all of a sudden failed. I have to manually force the wheels to turn. Steering is a little better at high speeds but still has a limited range of steering, especially at slower speeds.
My 2015 Toyota Camry starting having serious steering issues. As of Monday, October 1, the steering wheel will randomly pull to either the right or left side and seems feel very loose while driving, as if there is no self sustained stability or resistance. I have researched, and found that the year/make/model of my car has a recall for failed "electronic power assist system". unfortunately though, the recall only applies to a limited amount of vehicles. I have also noticed that there are several others logging the same complaint regarding the same make/model/year vehicle, which leads me to believe that this issue may very well stretch far beyond the vehicles fortunate enough to have been included in the recall. I believe it would be wise of Toyota and/or NHTSA, as well as beneficial to many Toyota customers (both current and future) to revisit the limited recall with the idea of expanding it to include more 2015 model Camry's. this is a hazardous, and potentially life threatening, issue.
It all started back in June of 2018. My car suddenly started to pull to the left and I initially thought that I have a flat tire, but it was not the case. Here is what happens. When my car is turned on and start moving, the steering wheel pulls to the right or to the left. It pulls mostly to the left and loses accurate control of steering while driving. It doesn't stop pulling until the ignition is turned off and turned back on. Then steering is back to normal. I took my car to a Toyota dealership (worldtoyota, 5800 peachtree industrial blvd, atlanta, ga 30341) on July 19, 2018 and reported the problem. The diagnosed the vehicle and didn't find the problem. The problem has been worsening and happens all the time right now.
Steering will stop at left or right position while driving instead of stopping at straight position. Restarting the car will fix the problem but will occur after few days. Same situation occured multiple time so got alignment done yesterday but problem still there. Searched online and saw other people having similar problems with 2015 Toyota Camry, but also mentioned that their VIN number was not on recall lost. Checked my VIN number and it was not in the recall list. This situation is dangerous and need to be fixed. I have experienced driving with this problem and it is not safe specially on highways.
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. While the contact's daughter was driving at unknown speeds, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called the local dealer (newbold Toyota, 1282 central park dr, O'fallon, il 62269, (618) 628-7000) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15V144000 (steering). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 1808291305. The failure mileage was 60,000.
I filed a vehicle safety complaint last month in reference to my electric power steering symbol came on in my car. I didn't drive my car for 2 weeks because I didn't want to take a chance on having a crash. So on August 18, 2018, I decided to drive my car around the block to see if the light would come back on and the light didn't come on, but my steering wheel pulls from the left and the right if my hands are taken off the wheel for a minute. As I was driving around the block the wheel became very loosely to the touch of slightly holding it. It steer in the direction of left as I'm traveling straight up the road.
