Description of the problem | The steering column has failed on my 2004 camry. A little browsing of the internet reveals that this is a common problem with the camry model. My dealer in covington, la has said that about 1 in 8 camry's have this problem, but would not offer to held repair my vehicle since only the powertrain warranty remains. A call to toyota customer assistance yielded the same results. The steering wheel make a grinding noise at slow speeds, and the dealer (northshore toyota in covington, la) has told me my steering bearings are "shot." this problem was first reported to my dealer at about 50,000 miles. |
