2015 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A SOFT STEERING RESPONSE, AND THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY VEERS TO THE RIGHT (AT ANY SPEED). WEIRDLY THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT HAS BEEN SPORADIC, BUT MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 1/19/21. SURPRISINGLY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, AND THEN ON AGAIN, THE ISSUE DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. OUR BIGGEST FEAR IS IF THIS ERRATIC STEERING ISSUE WERE TO SUDDENLY START ACTING UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. OUR CAMRY WAS PURCHASED IN DEC'14, AND WE HAVE NOTICED THERE WERE A RECALL FOR SOME CAMRYS' OF THAT YEAR. COULD OUR CAMRY BATCH HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEMS NOT AS APPARENT AS THOSE ALREADY RECALLED? PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS STEERING ISSUES SEEM TO BE THE TOP PROBLEM FOR THE 2015 CAMRY ON CARPROBLEMZOO.COM, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE ALSO NOTING THE SAME DEFECT BUT THEIR CAR'S VIN IS NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST. THIS COINCIDENCE SEEM QUITE HIGH ESPECIALLY FOR A YEAR WITH STEERING PROBLEM RECALLS, BUT SOMEHOW ONLY COVERING CERTAIN VINS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER COMPLETING AN OIL CHANGE ON THE VEHICLE, A MONTH LATER THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO PUT MORE OIL IN THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE OIL LEVEL WAS STILL LOW IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER OAK LAWN TOYOTA (4320 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

NORMAL STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING GOES SOFT AND VEERS TO THE RIGHT. CHECKED AIR PRESSURE REPORTING NORMAL. WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENT DURING THE FORTY MINUTE DRIVE. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE.

VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY STEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN MOTION. DOESN'T MATTER IF ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT THE ISSUE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 66K MILES.

CAR SPORADICALLY PULLS TO THE LEFT WHETHER OR NOT I AM TURNING. AFTER IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THEN CAR STARTED, CAR DRIVES NORMALLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 OR 6 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS FOR AN ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS ALSO STATED BY MANY OTHER OWNERS ONLINE..

THE WHEEL STARTS PULLING RIGHT AND THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO VERY HARD TO TURN WITH A POPPING NOISE THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS MORE OFTEN AND ONLY WANTS TO TURN RIGHT. IT ALSO DOES IT ON MAIN STREETS HIGHWAY ETC OFF AND ON SEEMS DANGEROUS.

WHOLE ELECTRICAL BOARD WENT OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO HELP FIX IT.

MY ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT WENT OUT IN THREE YEARS ...NOT ABLE TO PROGRAM ANYTHING OR LISTEN TO RADIO. I UNDERSTAND THAT TOYOTA HAD A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM WITH MODELS FROM 2014 AND 2015.... WHICH MY CAR FALLS IN THERE. THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS PROBLEM AND SAID THEY DONT HAVE A RECALL. HOWEVER TOYOTA DID SEND OUT NOTIFICATION TO MECHANICS TELLING THEM THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THESE ECUS . STANIONARY

AS I DRIVE DOWN A ROAD MOSTLY WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED, THE STEERING GOES VERY ERRATIC. IT GETS A WIDE RANGE OF MOVEMENT AND FEELS AS IF I AM LOSING CONTROL. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AS I DRIVE IT. MY HUSBAND LOOKED IT UP AND THERE HAD BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR STEERING IN THE 2015 CAMRY, BUT, NO RECALL FOR MY CAR WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN #.

TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA SERVICE STATION FOR MAINTENANCE. SERVICE STATION HAD A HARD TIME GETTING HOOD OPENED. THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS RUSTED. I WAS RECOMMENDED TO BUY A NEW ONE, ALSO ADVISED THAT NEXT TIME TO GET IT OPENED IT MAY HAVE TO BE BROKEN OFF. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT THE HOOD MAY GET STUCK IN THE OPENED POSITION, OR COME OPENED. I DID NOT PURCHASE IT. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT SHOULD NOT OCCUR AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED.
