Ball Joint Problems of Toyota Camry

My year of Toyota and make had a recall on the front driver's side ball joint and my ball joint is about ready to snap because it is a faulty factory ball joint. I would like this to be checked out because I have kids and I don't want to hurt any of us. Thank you for your time and consideration. Families are forever!!.

The car it's hard to turn now, it make noise when I accelerate, liking grease-oil on the ball joints. It sounds like the problem with the recall , but my car is 2-11. . A month before the recall ( that starts in 3 -11). . So I took it to dealership, and they didn't wanted to help me with that. They want to charge me like $800. What can I do??.

Ball joint has been deteriorating since 2015. There is a recall on my year and make already but my VIN is not included.

I called Toyota (customer experience center) to get more detailed recall information related to my make/model vehicle. The recent recall is for the 2014 Toyota Camry- steering control loss; front lower suspension arm/ball joint. I am a consumer and it is my right to get detailed information on this issue related to my make/model vehicle. The representative from Toyota refused to provide me with any information.

I filed several complaints about the tires bouncing and excessive vibration coming from the front end of the vehicle. I was told by the dealer that it was a tire problem, and that I should try 40 lbs. Of air instead of the recommended 35 lbs. I contacted a local bridgestone dealer and was told not to exceed the recommended pressure. The Toyota dealer acknowledged there were a lot of similar complaints and that it was the fault of the tires,. I have 12,000 miles on the car and the front tires are worn out and Toyota is refusing to DE anything. I believe the problem is caused by the ball joints or front end suspension, but can't get anywhere with Toyota. If it's an ongoing tire problem as the dealer says why hasn't it been addressed. If it is a manufacturing defect why hasn't it been addressed. At 50 miles an hour the tires start to bounce and shimmy and the vibration can be felt in the steering wheel. The car feels unsafe at highway speeds.

I purchased a used 2011 Toyota Camry in 2013 from a Toyota dealership. Before the 30 day warranty was up, I had to return to have an alignment done. The next day I was back again because the car was not in alignment. I had the alignment repeated. I can't recall the total number of times I have had this done. After the dealer warranty ran out, I used at least 3 other auto repair chains to try to fix the problem. I went back to each one numerous times trying to get the problem solved. It was never corrected to my satisfaction. At some of the repair shops I also had 12 month warranty that I purchased with tires, brakes, and other services. They began to refuse to repeat the alignments, asking if I hit something or suggesting other expensive services that I didn't want or need, refusing to honor their warranty until I had these services done. I know they hated to have me come in so many times to have an alignment repeated. It was never corrected and this became very expensive-having unnecessary services that never helped the problem. As I am not the original vehicle owner, I never received any notification about the recall on the ball joints or any other notices about it. Never even heard of this or been informed by anyone concerning the problem. I cannot recall the problem being corrected ever. It only has 72,000mi on it and it does not feel like a safe or reliable vehicle any longer. The alignment problem is still there. I believe Toyota should at least make some attempt to assist me. It is still difficult to drive the car. Like fighting with it and having to constantly keep it in the correct lane and on the street.

I was stop at the stop light waiting for the light to turn green. When light turn green, I proceeded to make left hand turn into the undivided ramp. The steering would not return to the right. I turn the steering wheel as fast as I can to the right, but vehicle would not go to the right. On coming traffic hit me head on and collided head on with no air bags deployed at all. Bruised on head due to hitting head on driver side window. Insurance company had taken all parts for investigation. My left wheel was torn in half like it was open up by a can opening. Ball joints were off also.
