2015 Toyota Camry

THE 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SPORADICALLY PULLS HARD TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AT SLOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS (BETWEEN 5-50 MPH). THIS JUST SUDDENLY BEGAN TO HAPPEN. WITH FORCE THE VEHICLE CAN BE KEPT IN LINE, BUT THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. I CHECKED AND THIS VEHICLES VIN IS NOT IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL.

2015 CAMRY HAS EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THE SAME TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE 2012-2014 MODELS THAT WERE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THIS YEAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE ON THIS YEAR. STARTED OUT WITH SHUDDER AROUND 25-30MPH, NOW IT'S ALSO HAPPENING AROUND 35-45MPH, VEHICLE WILL ALSO REV OUT IN GEAR GIVING NO ACCELERATION. NOW THIS CAR IS BARELY EVEN DRIVABLE. THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING UP TO THE HIGHEST GEARS EVEN WHEN SPEED IS VERY LOW, AS THOUGH YOU WERE DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE AT 15MPH IN FIFTH GEAR. THE ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS THAT HELPED AND NOW NO LONGER WILL, WERE PUNCHING THE THROTTLE DURING A SHUDDER TO DOWNSHIFT, OR DOWNSHIFTING IN THE MANUAL MODE. UNHOOKING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN THE SYSTEM POWER TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO LEARNING MODE, WHICH HELPED FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL THE VEHICLE WENT RIGHT BACK TO THE SAME ISSUES. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE LIMPS AROUND WITH ANY TYPE OF DRIVING, SHIFTS TO GEARS THAT ARE TOO HIGH FOR THE APPROPRIATE SPEED WITH DANGEROUSLY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION OR NONE AT ALL, AND SHUDDERS IN TWO SPEED RANGES.

I GOT CAMRY SE 2015 IN AUGUST 2015 AND AFTER 18 MONTHS BATTERY TOTALLY OUT OF FUNCTION SO I REPLACED BATTERY NOW LAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE ISSUE WITH STEERING TROUBLE SHOOOTING. STEERING DOING BUZZING WEIRD SOUND AND I CONTACT TO TOYOTA BECAUSE I HEARD THAT 110,000 RECALLS THOSE TIME FOR STEERING ISSUE AND THEY SAID AS PER YOUR VIN NUMBER YOUR VEHICLE NOT RECALL. I WENT TO CAR MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ABLE TO FIND A THIS SOUND. I AM WORRYING ABOUT ANY MY CAR IS EFFECTED ANY MANUFACTURER ISSUE BECAUSE WITHIN SHORT TIME BATTERY GONE AND NOW STEERING ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED AND PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE FORCE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO TOYOTA OF SURPRISE (13543 N AUTOSHOW AVE, SURPRISE, AZ 85388, (623) 469-6027). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

TWICE NOW, WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, AFTER PULLING INTO MY SUBDIVISION STREET THE CAR HAS PULLED SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT BUT AFTER DRIVING SLOWLY AROUND FOR A WHILE AND STOPPING AND BACKING UP THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IF THE CAR WERE TO CONTINUE TO PULL SO SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT IT WOULD BE UNSAFE AND UNDRIVABLE. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS AN INTERMITTANT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING OR PERHAPS A STICKING PARKING BRAKE OR STICKING BRAKE CYLINDER. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK IT AFTER THE FIRST TIME BUT HE COULDN'T REPEAT THE PROBLEM (BUT HE ONLY DROVE THE CAR AFTER IT HAD ALREADY CLEARED UP).
