Steering, electric power assist systemMar 13, 2015
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2015 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Highlander, and Highlander Hybrid, and 2014-2015 Rav4 vehicles. A component of the electric power steering (EPS) electronic control unit (ECU) may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. Over time, this damage may result in failure of the electric power steering system.
An unexpected loss of power steering increases the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the serial number of the EPS ECU or steering column assembly. If the number is within the affected range, the EPS ECU will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

MY SON HAD DIFFICULTY BRAKING WHEN A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM STEPPED ON HIS BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. CONSEQUENTLY, MY SON HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM CAUSING BUMPER DAMAGE TO THAT CAR, A TOYOTA. MY SON'S CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO THE IMPACT. ALSO, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 AT LESS THAN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

THESE ARE MY OEM TIRES ON MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID WITH 13,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE THE OEM BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL400-02 TIRES. I HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH LE MIEUX & SON TOYOTA IN GREEN BAY, WI. THE OWNER IS TOM LE MIEUX AND IS THE PERSON I TALKED WITH AMONG HIS SERVICE MANAGER AND THE SALESMAN. THE WEAR ON THE TIRES IS ACTUALLY EVEN ACROSS THE FRONT TIRES AT 7/32 AND 8/32 ON REAR TIRES. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE CENTER TREAD PATTERN IS ALMOST GONE EACH TIRE AND EXTENDING INTO THE NEXT TREAD PATTERN ON EACH SIDE OF THE MIDDLE TREAD. THERE HAS BEEN NO OVER INFLATION OF THE TIRES AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED THREE TIMES NOW ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MY MAINTENANCE BOOK. PER TOM LE MIEUX AND HIS STAFF THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY WILL DO TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM OF THE ODD CENTER TREAD PATTERN WEAR. TOYOTA PUTS THIS JUNK ON THEIR VEHICLES AND ONE SHOULD ONLY EXPECT TO GET 20,000 MILES FROM THEM. LOOSING THE TREAD PATTERN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS ALREADY HYDROPLANING. THE TIRES SLIP DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE ALSO SLIP WHEN CORNERING ON WET PAVEMENT. I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY WITH THE SAME TIRES ON IT AND BASICALLY HAD A SIMILAR WEAR ISSUE PROBLEM IN 2008. AT THAT TIME BRIDGESTONE WAS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TURANZA TIRES AND TOYOTA REPLACED MY TIRES. NOT THIS TIME THEY SAY.

DURING AUG 2016 I WENT TO GET SOME LUNCH AND WHEN I TURNED OFF THE PARKING RAMP THE CAR WAS FINE. ONCE I ENTERED ON TO THE FWY AND APPROACHED THE SPEED OF 50 MY STEERING WHEEL FROZE AND WOULD NOT TURN EITHER WAY. I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN ON THE FWY FOR FEAR OF BEING HIT, SO I JUST STAYED IN MY LANE AND BEGIN TO EXIT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL ONCE I CAME TO A STOP I HAD HELP GETTING THE CAR TO MY HOUSE AND CALLED AAA TO TOW THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP BY MY JOB AND FOUND OUT THE POWER STEERING UNIT JUST STOPPED. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE RACKNPENION. THE LIGHT WHERE YOU SHIFT GEARS WENT OUT, SO CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WHAT GEAR I'M IN. DRIVE OR REVERSE.

V6 ENGINE STUMBLED UPON ACCELLERATION IN TRAFFIC. WAS GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, CHANGED LANES TO GO FASTER BUT FELT LIKE ENGINE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS, THEN IT ACCELLERATED NORMALLY. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS IN 80'S, GAS TANK HALF FULL, NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. ABOUT 2 MILES PREVIOUS TO THIS WE WERE SITTING IDLING IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH A/C ON. NO FURTHER EPISODES TO DATE. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD A SIMILAR EPISODE, BUT WASN'T SURE AS IT WASN'T SO NOTICIBLE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER BUT NO ERROR CODES PRESENT, WILL CHECK FARTHER THIS FRIDAY WHEN EXPERT TECH IS THERE. UNKNOWN WHICH COMPONENT CAUSED THIS.

I HAVE A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY LE AND THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION. ON AUGUST 13TH 2016, I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT BUT INSTEAD OF GOING BACKWARDS, MY CAR MOVED FORWARD. I TRIED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR BUT THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. THESE TWO ABNORMAL MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS COULD CAUSE TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURIES. I WAS SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR SO I CALLED THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO INFORM THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW MY CAR TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TOYOTA ONLY DID A QUICK INSPECTION AND TEST DROVE THE CAR. AFTER, THEY SAID THE CAR IS IN NORMAL CONDITION AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I CAN TAKE MY CAR BACK TO SERVICE WHEN THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE IF THE TRANSMISSION OR BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR ON A BUSY STREET, I WOULD BE DEAD OR HAVE SERIOUS INJURIES. I WOULD NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TOYOTA NEVER ADMITS THAT THEIR CARS HAVE DEFECTS OR FIX THEIR CARS. THEY WILL ONLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CARS AFTER A FATAL CRASH HAPPENS. TOYOTA DID NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE WILL WORK PROPERLY AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD OR MILEAGE REACHED. A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN TO ME OR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD ANY MINUTE AND I DO NOT WANT BEAR ANY LEGAL LIABILITY TO THE ACCIDENT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT IN CASE A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT HAPPENS TO ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU *TR

I'D LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THE SHIFTER IS VERY SAFE IN THIS MODEL. I HAD A NERVE RACKING INCIDENT THE OTHER DAY WHILE MY KIDS AND THEIR COUSINS WERE IN THE CAR. I WAS PARALLEL PARKING ON AN INCLINE. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND MY CAR ROLLED BACK. I THOUGHT, WOW, THIS MUST BE QUITE AN INCLINE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WAS IN GEAR, BUT NOTHING WAS VISIBLE ON MY GEAR SHIFT OR ON THE DASH DIGITALLY. I PUT ONE FOOT ON THE BREAK AND ONE ON THE GAS TO EASE INTO WHAT WAS HOPEFULLY STILL DRIVE, AND THE CAR ROLLED BACK AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK. I PAUSED FOR A LITTLE BIT, GETTING REALLY NERVOUS BECAUSE NOW I AM SO CLOSE TO THE CAR BEHIND ME. I TOLD THE BOYS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. I TRIED TO 'GUN IT' AND MY CAR ROLLED BACK OR REVERSED AND HIT THE BUMPER OF THE CAR BEHIND ME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND E-BRAKE, AND ASKED THE 11 YEAR OLD TO CHECK WHICH GEAR THE CAR WAS IN, IF HE COULD DIFFERENTIATE THE COLOR INDICATOR AND HE SAID NO. BUT WAIT, IF YOU CUP YOUR HAND AROUND IT, HE COULD SEE THE 'P' FOR PARK. IN EXPERIMENTING NOW, IF THE SUN IS REALLY GLARING, YOU CAN'T SEE THE INDICATORS OF THE GEAR, THE CAR DASH DIGITALLY ONLY SHOWS THE GEARS FOR ABOUT A SECOND, WHICH WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KEEP IN VIEW ON THE DASH WHEN IN ANY OTHER GEAR THAN DRIVE. I WAS PRETTY SURE I WAS IN DRIVE THAT DAY, YET THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I FEEL LIKE I DON'T TRUST DRIVING IN MY CAR ANY MORE AS I WAS PRETTY SHAKEN UP AND FRUSTRATED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THERE IS A NAIL HOLE IN MY REAR BUMPER FROM THE LADIES FRONT LICENSE PLATE I HIT. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS REALLY NICE AND DID NOT PRESS CHARGES. I'M ALSO FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED.

AT 10 A.M. ON A BRIGHT SUNNY MORNING, MY WIFE AND GROWN DAUGHTER GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO TO BREAKFAST, I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR, AND TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE AIR WAS HOT, NOT COOL, I LOOKED THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE DASH AND THERE WAS A YELLOW WARNING LITE THAT READ "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM " . I PUT THE GEAR LEVER INTO "D" AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE BUT THE ENGINE REVED UP, I THEN PUT IT INTO "R" AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED, THE CAR ENGINE REVED UP BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THEN STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT STARTED NORMALLY WITH A/C PUTTING OUT COLD AIR AND THE AUTO MOVING WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS IN GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A QUALITY INSPECTION AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY ASK ME TO REPORT BACK TO THEM SHOULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN, WITH THE TIME, TEMPERATURE, RAIN OR CLOUDY DAY , ECT.. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 6 DAYS AND SO FAR IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN.

THE SLANT OF THE WINDSHIELD IS SUCH THAT THE TOP OF DASH REFLECTS IN IT. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER IS LOOKING THROUGH THE REFLECTION OF THE DASH WHILE DRIVING, REDUCING CLARITY OF SIGHT. THIS IS A PARTICULAR ISSUE WHEN DRIVING FROM BRIGHT SUNLIGHT INTO SHADED AREAS AND THE REVERSE. THE REFLECTION OCCURS MOST OF THE TIME WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS. IT DOES NOT OCCUR ONLY DURING THE DAY. THE REFLECTION OCCURS AT NIGHT CAUSED BY THE LIGHT FROM STREET LIGHTS. THEN NOT ONLY IS IT DARK BUT THE DRIVER IS LOOKING THROUGH THE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED SINCE PURCHASE, JULY 2015.
