| Description of the problem | My car is a 2016 toyota camry se 4-cylinder automatic with 67k miles. It is on it's second set of tires which have about 25k miles on them, and have been rotated one or two times since purchased new. Key point: there has been no work (incl. No tire rotations) done to the car recently... Everything was fine until last week when i noticed a strong pulling of the car to the left. The next time i drove the car i noticed a strong pull to the right, which seemed very strange since it was not the left as before. This pulling to one side or the other has happened a few times over the last week now. Through experimentation i have learned that turning the ignition off and restarting seems to clear the problem - if the front wheels are pointed straight forward. I believe having the front wheels pointing straight forward when i shut off / restart seems to correct the pulling problem. But if the wheels are pointed left or right when i restart the car, the car pulls that direction when restarted. I'm no automotive mechanic, but based on what i think i've learned, this problem seems to be an electronic one. Seeing others incidents being entered with the same problem on 2015 and 2016 camrys, please look into this asap. |
