| Description of the problem | My 2015 toyota camry starting having serious steering issues. As of monday, october 1, the steering wheel will randomly pull to either the right or left side and seems feel very loose while driving, as if there is no self sustained stability or resistance. I have researched, and found that the year/make/model of my car has a recall for failed "electronic power assist system". Unfortunately though, the recall only applies to a limited amount of vehicles. I have also noticed that there are several others logging the same complaint regarding the same make/model/year vehicle, which leads me to believe that this issue may very well stretch far beyond the vehicles fortunate enough to have been included in the recall. I believe it would be wise of toyota and/or nhtsa, as well as beneficial to many toyota customers (both current and future) to revisit the limited recall with the idea of expanding it to include more 2015 model camry's. This is a hazardous, and potentially life threatening, issue. |
