| Description of the problem | I purchased a used/certified 2008 toyota camry in 2012. I had not noticed any problems with the car until about a month ago when i kept hearing a bumping sound coming from the the passenger rear tire, after having the tires air pressure checked the problem seemed to be gone. However, later the car began pulling to the left, whenever i drove on a side street, the pulling was not there on the freeway. Things changed on this past sunday, on my way to take my grandchildren home from church the steering wheel was uncontrollable and the car pulled sharply to the left and i decided to pull off the street, i was afraid to continue driving because i didn't want to put my grandchildren in any further danger. I had to call my daughter to come pick us up. The car was taken to the repair shop to get a wheel alignment. I told them about the problem with the steering wheel they assured me that they would be able to take care of the problem. The problem with the steering is still there, why hasn't there been a recall for this problem. I am afraid to drive my car! |
