I was driving my vehicle and suddenly I completely loss power steering control. I nearly crashed! My steering became very difficult to manage while it made an awful "grinding" noise when I attempted to steer the vehicle. I was driving on los angeles avenue (118 hwy) in moorpark, ca. I do not recall if I was turning; but I recall I was at a stop light, then took off and suddenly loss power steering. I googled this issue and noticed that there was a recall for my exact problem and make/model/year of my car (2015 toyota camry se 2.5l at).
