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.
2015 Toyota Camry steering complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 105, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Steering wheel locked while driving and eps light came on and then turned off
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 federal safety agency 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. The federal safety agency needs to recall all 2015 camry to fix the electronic boards before fatalities.. Thank you.

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 the federal safety agency, 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.
Takata recall feels like a loose part moving when turning.

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.
I was fueling up my car, and upon me turning the key to start up my automobile, it didn't respond. I noticed the symbol on the dashboard that had a circle with a triangle drawn downward with a circular item at the top of the triangle symbol with an exclamation point symbol beside it. I also informed toyota that my seatbelt didn't beep to let me that it wasn't clicked.I then notified my local toyota company to see if I could bring my car in for a inspection. I was told that they didn't have any appointments until the end of the month.

Takata recall- I noticed the last week as I'm driving my speed feels as if it's decreasing but the speed odometer is not decreasing and when I turn my steering wheel ( left and right turns) it making screeching sounds, at first the sounds was light but you can hear it but today (8-3-18) as I turn in the grocery store parking lot it was very loud and I barely was turning the steering wheel. Once I got back into the car, cut the ignition on and backed out there was no screeching sound but as I'm driving on the interstate head home the speed starts back decreasing a little, when I turned into my dive way the screeching sound started back.
Is making a noise on passenger side and the steering is funny
At 25-40 mpr the steering unexpectedly veers right or left. When making a turn, steering frequently does not return to normal. On occasion, the steering slowly pulls left or right as if the tire has low inflation. I consider this to be a danger to myself and others. Although there are numerous steering complaints regarding the 2015 camry, the dealer said that our VIN# is not on a recall list. I would appreciate additional investigation by the federal safety agency.
Car will pull hard left on occasion while driving. Once car is stopped and re-started, issue goes away. Pull is hard enough to force car into on-coming traffic. All equipment has been checked and verified in good working order multiple times. Mechanics believe issue may be with electronic steering control but cannot verify as issue cannot be duplicated and is random. This has occurred on highways, parking lots, city streets, etc. Condition is not affected by driving surface. Last occurance was 7/7/18.
When in motion at relatively low speeds on city streets, the steering often veers to the left or right unexpectedly, and after making a turn, the steering tends to remain in the turn and does not automatically return to a neutral position.
The vehicle suddenly starts to pull one way or the other and looses accurate control of steering while driving.
Seering wheel was shifting right and would not stop until the ignition was turned off. A few days later the same thing happened but this time to the left, turning the car off and then on again made it stop

Electric power steering: at times car would pull very hard to either the left or right at low speeds. The pull was so strong that it would pull you off of the road if you weren't gripping the steering wheel firmly. The problem would persist until the vehicle speed reached approximately 40 MPH. I took the car to the dealership, and after getting the car to replicate the problem, they ran a diagnostic and determined 'torque sensor for steering out of whack needs both gear, column, and ECM computer.' the 2015 camry has a recall on the electric power steering but I am told my car is not part of this recall. This could be a dangerous defect if the problem occurred unexpectedly in heavy traffic.
Steering wheel lose control and the has to be held down, taking the wheels out of control and sways from side to side, sometimes on the left some times on the right (steering wheel assist)

While car is in motion at regular or slow speed, the maintenance light flashes on for about 2 seconds while turning left. Maintenance to the car has always been performed by a toyota dealer.
There used to be whining noise when turning the wheel while leaving parking. This month I noticed the steering sometimes feels loose while driving either highway or city street. Sometimes it veers left, sometimes veers right and sometimes normal.
The car was in operation mode on the freeway, while exiting the ramp- the car steering suddenly stopped working. The steering failed to maneuver , I attempted to move the steering to left and right- no improvement. I had taken to several shops to detect the problem. It was a fail attempt as the technician was unable to identify the problem. Finally, the toyota dealership quoted $350 just to run a diagnostic. I had nearly spent over $1000 in several occasions- the fees do not include towing fees. I was very fortunate this occurred the exit of the direction.
I was driving home on friday august 18th at about 35 MPH. On a straight roadi suddenly lost my steering. When I got out to look at it the right from wheel was turned 90 degrees to the right. When looking at it it looks like the right front axel broke or tie rods or whatever is under there. When the colchester police came they did not file an accident report since it was their belief that something on the car had broken. The officer told me I was lucky to only be going 35 and not on the interstate doing 65. When the wrecker came he said he had never seen anything like this on a camry. I did not hit a pothole or curb or anything else. Now toyota (heritage toyota, south burlington vt. Is not convinced that it was a defect. They are waiting for their regional office to make a determination. Just talked to heritage toyota and they said it was not a defect. However they did not say what was wrong with it. They are acting like this is an every day occurrence. I just want to make you aware of this in case anyone else had the same issue.
