RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A SOFT STEERING RESPONSE, AND THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY VEERS TO THE RIGHT (AT ANY SPEED). WEIRDLY THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT HAS BEEN SPORADIC, BUT MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 1/19/21. SURPRISINGLY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, AND THEN ON AGAIN, THE ISSUE DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. OUR BIGGEST FEAR IS IF THIS ERRATIC STEERING ISSUE WERE TO SUDDENLY START ACTING UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. OUR CAMRY WAS PURCHASED IN DEC'14, AND WE HAVE NOTICED THERE WERE A RECALL FOR SOME CAMRYS' OF THAT YEAR. COULD OUR CAMRY BATCH HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEMS NOT AS APPARENT AS THOSE ALREADY RECALLED? PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS STEERING ISSUES SEEM TO BE THE TOP PROBLEM FOR THE 2015 CAMRY ON CARPROBLEMZOO.COM, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE ALSO NOTING THE SAME DEFECT BUT THEIR CAR'S VIN IS NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST. THIS COINCIDENCE SEEM QUITE HIGH ESPECIALLY FOR A YEAR WITH STEERING PROBLEM RECALLS, BUT SOMEHOW ONLY COVERING CERTAIN VINS.

VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY STEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN MOTION. DOESN'T MATTER IF ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT THE ISSUE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 66K MILES.
