MY MOTHER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COST HER LIFE. THE BLACK BOX ON THE CAR SAYS THAT THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION IN THE POWER STEERING THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO PULL SHARPLY TO THE LEFT. THIS CAUSED HER TO HIT A CONCRETE MEDIAN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHERE HER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. HER SPINE BROKE IN 4 PLACES AND SUFFERED 7 BROKEN RIBS.*DT*JB

THE STEERING BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, SOMETIMES PULLS ONE WAY OTHER TIMES THE OTHER WAY. THEN IT WORKS FINE, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING ABILITY. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION, AND IT'S HAPPENED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY GOING AT 20 MPH AND WHEN ON HIGHWAY IT SEEMED TO CORRECT IT SELF AT 50-60 MPH??

CAR PULLS SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AFTER STARTING UP AND DRIVING. IF I STOP AND TURN OF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR IT WILL RUN PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF I PARK THE CAR AND HAVE THE WHEELS TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AS WHEN YOU ARE ON A HILL. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I REALIZED I COULD CORRECT THE PULLING BY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WITH THE WHEELS POINTING STRAIGHT.THE 2015 CAMRY HAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING ISSUE (#15V144000) BUT TOYOTA MANUFACTURER STATES THAT MY VIN # ISN'T COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS (50+) ON LINE AND WITH BLUEBOOK ON THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T SEE ANY INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. MAYBE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. IF I PAY TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE AND A RECALL IS ISSUED IS TOYOTA REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE ME? THE PROBLEM STARTED SPORADICALLY IN MARCH 2020 BUT MORE OFTEN NOW. WITH COVID-19 I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING REGULARLY.

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). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NO RECALL AND WON'T HONOR MY INFORMATION. THE EXACT RECALL # = 15V144000. PLEASE HELP, I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND DON'T HAVE OVER $2000+ TO FIX ACCORDING TO SIMI VALLEY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. [XXX]. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!
