Everytime the weather get cold my car make a whining noise that now of the Toyota dealers can figure out. I believe there a steering issue with Toyota.

Entering the highway from and entrance ramp during rainy weather and as I turn the wheel the vehicle begins to loose control and the traction light comes on as I slide sideways off the ramp. This vehicle is very dangerous due to the steering problems it has that can't be fixed, also on dry ground this car is very difficult to keep in its lane especially at highway speeds. A recall was issued but my car isn't included even though I have the issue reported.
I was driving in the right lane in a school zone, on a straight stretch. No other cars were near me. The steering wheel suddenly pulled to the right, causing the car to hit the curb. My first thought was, I had a flat tire, but I did not. Since it was not far, I decided to take my car to pohanka Toyota where I purchased it and have it serviced. The dealer replaced the right rear wheel hub, bearing and shock absorber. . . . Updated 10/22/14.
I cant keep this car in its lane, it veers to the left at all speeds and even worse at highway speeds. This is very dangerous and needs to be corrected by Toyota because the car will not take an alignment and pulls the driver into oncoming traffic constantly.
The car requires almost constant driver input in the steering to maintain it within the lane of traffic at freeway speeds. There is play in the steering wheel and the car does not track securely while driving on a freeway. As a result it is fatiguing to constantly have to correct from right to left and back again left to right while driving at freeway speeds. Toyota rep and dealer mechanics claim there is no problem. It feels as though the electronic variable assist power steering is not decreasing when at freeway speeds as it is supposed to which causes the car to not track securely within it's lane. There are no tire or alignment issues. Toyota is pretending there is no problem and hoping I will go away.
Vehicle needs excessive driver input while at highway speeds to keep car in its lane. This occurs at all times, on all roads and all weather conditions and with different drivers, as long as it is at highway speeds. In order to prevent the car from leaving its lane, driver must make swift, alternating steering from right to left. Vehicle was taken to the dealer and given a test drive and "inspection". It was found to be in good working condition.
Traveling on a state road during a slight snow event. The road was partially snow covered but treated and not overly slippery. The car suddenly veered to the left and went out of control. During this time the traction control light came on and stayed on while making the car unresponsive to attempts to steer the car. Hit a fence doing minor damage to car and fence. After the crash drove the car at a low speed to home. Car was very difficult to keep on road and traction control light stayed on continually. At home once the car was placed on dry garage floor and backed up it made a loud thud noise and then seemed to respond normally. This lasted only for two tenths of mile then light came back on and car control became erratic again. Put back in garage awaiting for insurance adjuster. Now afraid to drive.
Since I bought this car, I have to repair everything, and I am making the payment every month. I was told the day I bought the car that the car was clean with no accident. I found out that the car got accident.
The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the traction control light illuminated. The steering wheel became difficult to maneuver and made a loud screeching noise. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that a front end alignment and recalibration was needed. The vehicle was repaired. Two weeks later, the failure recurred and the vehicle was returned to the dealer. The dealer performed a second alignment the within a month but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure and current mileage was 50,700.
This car pulls to the laft so hard it has been a danger since day one. Nothing the dealer could do can fix it. Also I have heard of numerous others with the same complaint and they have come to the conclution that this problem is a real threat. The dealer said this car cannot be fixed.
The car star to shake when braked were applied at 55 mph this happened when the car was 2 years old now shakes really bad only when the brakes are use at high speed.
Car always makes a whining sound that gets louder upon acceleration, vehicle is impossible to keep in my lane especially at highway speeds, constant correcting needed to stay out of oncoming traffic or out of the lane left of me as car veers to the left. Cars has a transmission issue that causes jerking and slippage which also causes the car out of its lane.
Ever since I bought the car (4 cyl. , xle) a year ago: automatic transmission shifts sometimes slowly after a pause or unexpectedly and abruptly as it searches for gears, and it races intermittently, especially at start-up; it coasts a few inches after I put it into park, even on level ground. Power steering requires constant correction, even on level road surfaces. Cruise control is slow to respond to adjustments from lever on stem. Dealer's service dept. Claims, after 4 attempts to diagnose, that the car performs as designed, so my complaint will need to be with the design.
1. Defective car was delivered by Toyota & its dealer to me (customer). ----------- 2. Car was not tested by Toyota/dealer on tires & vibration/shaking before delivery to customer. ----------- 3. When I complained to Toyota, then Toyota found the evidence that tires were defective. ----------- 4. Because of defective tires fitted by Toyota & not tested properly by Toyota, damages happened on the overall life span of car - suspension & steering systems. ----------- 5. Customer - driving safety was also put on huge risk, as untested car was delivered by Toyota. ----------- 6. When I complained to Toyota, then Toyota found the evidence that tires were defective. ----------- 7. By having that defect in tires, it is obvious that overall life span of car's suspension, struts & steering system has been reduced, because of running with this vibration & shaking. ----------- 8. With this existing defect in car (it was present before delivery & couldn't be fixed by Toyota service dealer for 6-months), customer's comfort & driving experience is totally ruined. Toyota is responsible for this damage to the customer's driving discomfort & the safety risk of customer's life (while driving the shaking & vibrating car). ----------- 9. Now, as your supervisor offered "one year" of extended warranty on this car. It shows that Toyota know it very well that car is so much impacted & now has shorten the life span of car (because of these damaged tires & impacted parts in the car) so Toyota is only offering "one year" of extended service to cover up their mistakes / defects in their quality. ============== - car's shaking (vibrations at both - slow and higher speed), - impacts/damages the life span of steering, suspension and struts, - tires not in balance (wheel balancing was not done by Toyota). ==============.
I just bought a brand new 2011 Toyota Camry in may 2010. The car is only 1 month old and since day 1, the car veers to the left at highway cruising speeds above 50 mph. I brought it back to the dealer, and they aligned the tires, rotated the tires and performed a full inspection. They said it was fixed, but as soon as I drove off, the problem remained and veers left at highway speeds.
Ever since I have owned this car the steering has trouble with needing constant driver input to stay in the lane of traffic. This is more prominent at highway speeds. I have had two steering adjustments and the dealer says the steering is ok. The car had bad steering adjustment since day one.
