While driving brakes and/or steering was over riding his judgment. Vehicle started the pull to the right consumer had a hard time trying to keep the vehicle in line. . . . . While driving on dry flat road about 70 mph vehicle began to pull to the right. Consumer tried to correct back straight but steering did not respond. Turned harder and to leftand car started lef toff the road. Tried to correct back right lightly and steering did not respond. Turne dharder right and car went hard right almost off the road. Consume rhit the brakes to keep from leaving the road. Also, vehicle has bad vibration a thighway speeds from tires.
Car started pulling to the right when travelling 65-70 mph, leading to hitting a bridge wall and going down hill after that. Suspension and steering heavily damaged, also damage to the body of car. I have been driving for more than 4 years now and this is the first time that I saw a car behave so strangely. Since Toyota Camry has so many complaints from consumers saying that the car pulls to the left, I am thinking if the car was tampered with before sale, causing it to pull to the right instead of left to keep the complaints at bay. . Also while driving for the 4 months that I had the car I noticed that the steering would turn to the right when ever I braked(I should have reported this at that very moment) unfortunate that I am doing this after been an horrible accident.
While driving vehicle pulled to the left. Even while driving there was a blind spot. Consumer had an appointment to have the vehicle serviced. However, the problem was not a recall.
2004 solara se sport pulls (drifts) to the left. ( dealership spent 3 days on car, performed bulletin# st002-04 including adjustment spring seats and alignment- still pulls left. ) agreed to drive 3,000 miles until next service interval & await new developments from Toyota ) very concerned about issue, I believe there is a manufacuring or design flaw in steering system. I am a quality engineer in import automotive industry with 17 years experience. ).
