This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The wheel starts pulling right and then goes back to normal. Also very hard to turn with a popping noise then went back to normal. The problem persists more often and only wants to turn right. It also does it on main streets highway etc off and on seems dangerous.
As I drive down a road mostly when car is first started, the steering goes very erratic. It gets a wide range of movement and feels as if I am losing control. This is happening more often as I drive it. My husband looked it up and there had been some recalls for steering in the 2015 Camry, but, no recall for my car when I put in my VIN #.
When driving down the road the vehicle starts turning to the left or right, every so often. Does not happen every trip, but enough to realize there is a problem.
While driving steering started pulling to the left or the right. Alignment, outer, inner tie rods, lower and upper ball joints and strut mounts all checked normal. No warning lights or codes. Car goes straight after turning off and back but can suddenly start pulling. Checked for recalls and car VIN is not part of campaign number: 15V144000 (steering) which is exactly the problem I'm having this is a safety concern.

This caused her to hit a concrete median at highway speeds where her airbag failed to deploy. Her spine broke in 4 places and suffered 7 broken ribs.
Car pulls strongly to the left. Mechanic said suspension is good, must be electric steering. Tires are good. Car was in motion on a city street. The problem has happened several times. NHTSA campaign # 15V144000
The steering becomes unresponsive for a period of time, sometimes pulls one way other times the other way. Then it works fine, this has been happening for several days and is very unpredictable and dangerous when you control of your steering ability. It always happens when in motion, and it's happened both on city streets and highway going at 20 mph and when on highway it seemed to correct it self at 50-60 mph??
Car pulls sharply to the right or left after starting up and driving. If I stop and turn of the ignition and restart the car it will run properly. This seems to happen if I park the car and have the wheels turned to the right or left as when you are on a hill. I have come close to having an accident several times until I realized I could correct the pulling by stopping and restarting the vehicle with the wheels pointing straight.the 2015 Camry has a recall on the steering issue (#15V144000) but Toyota manufacturer states that my VIN # isn't covered under that recall. I have seen numerous complaints (50+) on line and with bluebook on the same issue. I don't see any investigation on this issue on the NHTSA website. Maybe the recall needs to be expanded. If I pay Toyota to fix the issue and a recall is issued is Toyota required to reimburse me? the problem started sporadically in March 2020 but more often now. With covid-19 I haven't been driving regularly.
I was driving my vehicle and suddenly I completely loss power steering control.

Hi, I'm reporting this steering problem cause it's getting worse and still no recall. I took it in and Toyota coded it on computer and no code came up. They never test drove it either. Cause it pulls to the left and right and a constant whining. It does that driving down the highway. Its starting to get scary. I don't want to loose control of this vehicle. It's my only one I got. Please recall my car. It's got 49,000 miles and 2015 Camry. This is over a 175 complaints for this steering problem. I shouldn't have to pay for Toyota to check it again. It's obvious sound now. Thanks
At low speeds, the vehicle would pull to either the left or right. Dealership reported that the steering angle sensor and motor tested fine. Wound up replacing the car's battery and that corrected the issue. The battery light was not illuminated, and the battery tested within specs but was on the low end of acceptable. Apparently if the battery is low, but still within specs, it can affect the performance of the electric steering motor and or sensor and result in pulling in one direction or the other.
