Normal steering while driving at 40 MPH, then all of a sudden steering goes soft and veers to the right. Checked air pressure reporting normal. Would happen intermittent during the forty minute drive. Thought it was strange.

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.
While car is in motion at regular or slow speed, the maintenance light flashes on for about 2 seconds while turning left. Maintenance to the car has always been performed by a Toyota dealer.
Car sporadically pulls to the left whether or not I am turning. After ignition is turned off and then car started, car drives normally. This has occurred 5 or 6 times within the last month. I understand there is a recall on this for an electronic steering component, but my VIN is not included in this recall. This is also stated by many other owners online..
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.
Over this past year my power steering light flickered on and off randomly and my radio/lights will turn off completely while driving. Over the last 30 days it has been difficult to turn my car , especially in slow or tight turns and the car make a loud humming/grinding sound in turns.
When you are driving down the road, sometimes the car would either veer to the left or the right and you can't control the steering wheel. You have to stop the car turn the car off and then turn it back on and then start driving again. Sometimes it will also accelerate on its own or not accelerate on its own even if you are controlling the gas pedal the car does what it wants. This is very scary because one time we almost hit a curb with the tires because you couldn't control the car it was going where I wanted to. The tires were out extremely fast I never have to pay for new tires because they wear out way before the warranty there like bald with in like a couple months sometimes even to just two months and they're bald and the alignment spine I've had it checked. I change all the fluids
While operating at low speed, the car started to steer to the left, requiring physical restraint to keep it moving straight. Without restraint, it would have gone into the curb. After the car was turned off, and following a 2 hour delay, the car was restarted and did not exhibit the problem. When I called Toyota customer care, they indicated that this VIN was not covered by the NHTSA recall notice about the same problem that affected other camry's of the same year. This appears to be a very dangerous condition that Toyota is not addressing.
The car start having a small sound like something is loose, and over time the sound is more aggressive Steering column problem was been confirmed by a independent service center And the call was made to one of the Toyota centers asking for any recalls for that problem the car is having , and a prize for the part, they give the information that lately they already repair a hundred cars with the same problem !! Imaging the risk of that steering column represent The car has low miles
While driving under 30 MPH the steering pulls hard to the left, difficult to keep straight and in the lane. Steering felt light and sloppy, like a low tire or steering gear issue, very dangerous. Faster speeds not as bad. Towed to dealer, diagnosed as a "low voltage battery". Car started as usual with no warning of indications of a problem and no warning lights came on. There should have been a warning light but it never came on. The manual says it may come on. This is a very dangerous situation when the steering acts up without any other warnings. This is probably a wide spread problem and not isolated to just my car, any Toyota with electric power steering.

When accelerating from a complete stop or when slowing down to make a left turn, it hesitates as if the car has stalled when stepping on the gas pedal to go. It will go about 5 -10 feet just enough to get you out there into traffic and then nose dives because it loses all forward power, steady pressure on gas pedal and milking gas pedal does not make it resume any faster. So far it has lasted 30 to 45 seconds and then resumes. The rpms stay at about 1 (idle) and the eco light flashes randomly but car does not stall so far just loses forward motion and wont accelerate out of the way of traffic oncoming and behind you. This has happened 9-10 time oct 2016-dec 2016
The sunroofs have a drain which sometimes can plug up. This car was maintained several times a year since purchase by Toyota dealer. When the drain plugged up this fall, water backed up and came down inside of the passenger compartment on top of the electrical fuses, body computer. The leak IS NOT DETECTABLE by owner or occupant. But when it manifests itself, it does so with the Blind Spot Monitor failing randomly, the seat belt warning lights might or might not work, the airbag safety system fails, sometimes the whole instrument dash acts erractic including random on/off blinking, the tire pressure monitoring system fails. All these problems can occur before owner is ever aware of the problem. Since one of the items that is getting corrosion is a fuse block - potential fire whi
My electronic control unit went out in three years ...not able to program anything or listen to radio. I understand that Toyota had a manufacture problem with models from 2014 and 2015.... Which my car falls in there. They are not acknowledging this problem and said they dont have a recall. However Toyota did send out notification to mechanics telling them there was issues with these ecus . Stanionary
Whole electrical board went out. This is a known issue with these cars and Toyota refuses to help fix it.

After my 25,000 mile maintenance check I began noticing a foul odor upon entering the car. Oddly enough, this odor is most pronounced when the car has been sitting for a few hours. While the car is running and the fans are blowing, the smell reduces in strength. However, anytime the car is off, the cabin fills once again with this horrible foul odor. To describe the smell I would say that it's similar to a gym locker room mixed with garbage. This is extremely disappointing as my car is under 2 years old and it is solely used for commuting. Food is not consumed in this vehicle and only water is drank. The fact that the smell disappears when driving with the fans on leads me to believe that there is not a dead animal present in the chassis. This seems like a mechanical issue. *tr
I was trying to pass a line of cars, and the car hesitated, for about 4 minutes, and I almost was hit by traffic coming from behind and would have been hit between the drivers door and passenger door, if the person coming had not been paying attention and managed to go around me. It has happened 3 other times. On a highway

When I accelerate to about 40 MPH there is shudder and rough ride like running over rough road. The car has 79,500 miles on it. The Toyota dealer says the problem is the torque converter. I have seen other reports of the problem on the internet.one person indicated it might need a software update but that is the only report like that I have seen. The dealer, team Toyota of princeton says it will be a $2,880 repair. Based on additional internet reports this seems to be a common problem.

When driving on a sunny day---or at night on a lighted thoroughfare---with the windows rolled up, the following occurs: the ac outlet on the driver's side, as well as the ac outlet on the front passenger side---both of these images (that is, the entire ac outlet, including the chrome bezel surrounding it) are reflected onto the driver & front passenger side windows---and then subsequently reflected onto the 2 outside mirrors. The result is that, when another auto is approaching on either the left or right side of your vehicle, then you will see the approaching car in the outside mirror, but superimposed over it will be the entire reflection of the ac outlets. Thus, it would appear that, when light enters the car & hits on the ac outlets, then the image is reflected onto the side windows, &
