| Description of the problem | 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!
