2013 Toyota Camry

VEHICLE DOES NOT TRAC STRAIGHT ON IT'S OWN. I FIND MYSELF CONSTANTLY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY LEFT TO RIGHT, RIGHT TO LEFT IN ORDER TO GO STRAIGHT. IF YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY LEFT OR RIGHT IT WILL CONTINUE TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION. FINDING THE EXACT STEERING WHEEL POSITION TO GO STRAIGHT AND KEEPING IT STRAIGHT IS A CHORE AND TIRING. *TR

WE LEASED A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE ON FRIDAY MARCH 29TH, 2013 AT 9:00 PM. FROM MANHATTAN BEACH TOYOTA IN MANHATTAN BEACH CALIFORNIA. THE VERY NEXT DAY, SATURDAY MARCH 30TH, 2013 WHILE DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 99 NEAR BAKERSFIELD AT 65 MILES PER HOUR TO LINDSAY CALIFORNIA FROM INGLEWOOD CALIFORNIA, I HEARD A "DING" SOUND AND I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN UP. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY HOLD ON TIGHTLY TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO TRY AND KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. I THEN NOTICED ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAD TURNED ON. I ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE GAUGES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. MY WIFE AND I WERE VERY TERRIFIED AS WE IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF THAT POOR FAMILY THAT LOST THEIR LIVES DURING A TOYOTA MALFUNCTION. AS I TRIED TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR, LOOKING FOR AN EXIT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I REALIZED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER, BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TAKE THE CAR TO BILL WRIGHT TOYOTA NEARBY. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR THAT DAY AND I HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE. THE CAR WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR 6 DAYS AS I WAS TOLD THAT A TOYOTA ENGINEER NEEDED TO GO TO BAKERSFIELD AND FIX THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT. *TR

VEHICLE IS OK AT APPROXIMATELY <50MPH BUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT REQUIRES 100% CONCENTRATION TO NOT VEER OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE. IT WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD ON ITS OWN. IT BEHAVES LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING IN A SEVERE CROSS WIND THOUGH THERE IS NO WIND PRESENT. MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND I HAVE FORBIDDEN MY FAMILY FROM DRIVING IT AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING IT. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS NEW CAMRY AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT, IT SEEMS FINE AT LOWER SPEEDS. WHEN YOU GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR FREEWAY SPEEDS THE CAR ALWAYS SEEMS TO WONDER FROM SIDE TO SIDE. YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO MAKE CORRECTIONS WITH THE WHEEL. IF YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR A SECOND YOU CAN VERY EASILY WIND UP IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF A TWO WAY HIGHWAY. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE JUST ME, SO I HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE IT AND THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. THE STEERING IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. BESIDES THIS ONE PROBLEM, I REALY LIKE THIS CAR. *TR
