2009 Toyota Camry steering problems

Filed Jan 18, 2025 · Brakes, Engine · IL

I have 2009 Toyota Camry LE, the problem is engine oil, if I changed/filled the engine oil in certified stores, but after 400 miles the engine oil is not in the engine chamber I checked the leaks or any other sort of damage but there's nothing like that I verified the same thing with the dealership too. Basically my point is due to extensive consumption of engine oil the engine will brake in the middle of driving and there are chances it will explode and there's a DANGER while driving the car it's like pulled the granite pin and sit above it. And due to this the braking system will fail and the person loose his life and the dependses will be suffered a lot. Please look at this issue. Thank you.

Vsc warning appeared on dashboard. Abs warning light and ps light is on too. I had the ABS actuator replaced in february 2019 when the vsc warning first appeared. I am having the same issue plus the power steering warning light. Vehicle was parked at the store, when I returned to my car and turned car on, the lights started flashing and will not turn off.

So I noticed that my 2009 toyota camry hybrid steering is requiring extra power to turn the steering. It's very stiff and I could hardly be able to make both left and right turning.

Left axel cv joint is bad at under 59,000 miles on the car. It is effecting the steering when turning left and jerks the wheel back - dangerous!

At 150k miles steering wheel is locking up while in motion. Usually occurs when trying to turn right, locks for 2 or 3 seconds then jerks slightly back to the left. Has done this 3 times recently, twice leaving me paused momentarily in opposite lane of traffic! Fortunately no traffic was in that lane during those moments before it unlocked. The third situation was in motion but not our of parking lot yet. Also makes a screeching sound while this is going on! I see where there are similar complaints about later year model camrys but haven't seen one on 2009. Also have not seen screeching sound mentioned. Trying to find out if others have experienced with 2009?

I was taking my father to the doctor in a town 2 hours away. I stopped to pick him up (car was shut off and I went inside to get him) and when we got into the car, it would not start and the "key indicator" light was on. I checked the nissan manual which informed me the car would need to be taken to the dealer. I had my car towed the next day and taken to a local nissan mechanic. I also did research regarding the icon light and found that thousands of 2009 nissans had experience the same problem. My mechanic called with the news that the electronic steering column lock needed replacing at a charge of 910.00. This is certainly an issue that nissan needs to consider as a recall. Our mechanic had 2 more calls with the same issue after we brought our car in last week. I hope nissan will do the right thing and issue a recall immediately and reimburse all those who have replaced this part.

The vehicle was in motion when the steering wheel locked suddenly. It hit a sidewall on the right and careened to the left and finally came to a stop when it hit another vehicle. At this point, the steering wheel was still locked despite the fact that the engine was running and it was still in drive
