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 CAR WAS DRIVING AND MY LIGHTS WENT CRAZY AND WHEELS LOCKED UP I CHANGED BATTERY CHANGED ALTERNATOR AND SOMETHING STILL DRAINING BATTERY AND IT'S THE ECU FOR MY POWER STEERING
Steering, Jul 22, 2019
I HAVE 52,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I NEVER HAD PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING UNTIL RECENTLY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 5-55 MY CAR WILL PULL HARD TO THE LEFT. WHEN I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, IT STOPS BUT AFTER A LITTLE WHILE OF DRIVING AGAIN IT WILL PULL HARD TO THE RIGHT. IT'S ALWAYS AT RANDOM TIMES AND I NEVER KNOW WHICH WAY IT WILL PULL AND IT DOESN'T PULL AT ALL TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

VEHICLE HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED :WHEN STARTING FROM ZERO SPEED OR ACCELERATING AT CRUISING SPEED THE CAR OFTEN HESITATES MORE OFTEN THEN NOT THIS IS A ROAD HAZORD AND WORSE YET FOR ME THE VEHICLE NEVER DRIVES THE SAME. IT IS REALLY FRUSTRATING KNOWING THE MONEY I SPENT AND THE MONEY I WILL LOOSE ON TRADE DUE TO A VEHICLES PERFORMANCE THAT IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE. MY EXPERIENCE IS IT HAS NO BEARING ON VEHICLE SPEED WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS ITS RANDOM AND DIFFICULT TOTO PREDICT FOR ME ITS THE WORST DURING RUSH HOUR ON THE FREEWAY I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD LOOK FORWARD OR BEHIND TO SEE WHICH CAR COULD BECOME VICTOM OF THE ACCELERATION OR HESITATION.

WENT TO THE WALMART TIRE & AUTO CENTER IN SAND SPRINGS, OK (STORE #00838) FOR A NEW SET OF TIRES. WHEN I LEFT, THE TPMS WAS SHOWING AN ERROR. I RETURNED TO THE CENTER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD CLEAR ON ITS OWN. IT DID NOT. THEY HAD BROKEN ONE OF THE TPMS SENSORS WHICH IS WHY THE SYSTEM WAS FAULTING. SO, THEY SENT ME AWAY WITH A FAULTY TPMS THAT THEY DAMAGED. I TRIED TO GET IT REPAIRED AT MY HOMETOWN WALMART IN SEARCY, AR BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY REPAIRED IT AT MY EXPENSE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART MANAGEMENT ABOUT THE SITUATION WITH NO RESPONSE. I CONTACTED WALMART CORPORATE IN BENTONVILLE, AR AND THEIR RESPOSE WAS TO CONTACT THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, WHICH I HAVE ALREADY ATTEMPTED TO DO. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF THE TPMS SENSOR THAT WAS BROKEN BY THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART, AND A PICTURE OF THE AFTER-MARKET TPMS SENSOR THAT WAS INSTALLED BY THE SEARCY, AR WALMART THAT WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY TOYOTA. I HAVE COPIES OF LETTERS TO BOTH THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART AS WELL AS WALMART CORPORATE THAT I CAN PROVIDE UPON REQUEST. I THOUGHT THE NHTSA SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART TIRE & AUTO CENTER WAS DAMAGING THE TPMS ON CARS AND SENDING VEHICLES ON THEIR WAY WITH FAULTY TPMS. I HAVE INCLUDED AN IMAGE OF THE SERVICE ORDER #485700 42175 WHICH INDICATES THEY RESET THE TPMS WHICH CLEARLY DID NOT HAPPEN. IT ALSO HAS A SIGNATURE ON THE FORM THAT IS CLEARLY NOT MINE.

MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND LAST WEEK I STARTED TO HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY GARAGE I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AS I PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET. I THOUGHT THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING FLAT. UPON CHECKING ALL TIRES THE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT. I THEN TOOK THE CAR OUT AGAIN AND THE STEERING CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE LEFT. I RETURNED TO HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR OUT AND IT PERFORMED NORMALLY. I DROVE IT FOR TWO MORE DAYS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. ON THE THIRD DAY AS I WAS DRIVING I TOOK A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR WANTED TO CONTINUE TURNING LEFT. FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MILES THE CAR CONTINUED PULLING LEFT. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY SUGGESTED THE NORMAL THINGS TIRE PRESSURE, ALIGNMENT, ETC. HOWEVER A CHECK OF THOSE PROVED NOT TO BE THE CAUSE. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHER 2015 CAMRY OWNERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A LIMITED RECALL ON THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. TODAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS NORMAL. IN THE LAST WEEK I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE INSTANCES OF THE VEHICLE PULLING SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND CONTINUED PULLING TO THE LEFT FOR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE IT RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THIS ALL HAPPENED DURING CITY DRIVING WITH SPEEDS BELOW 45 MPH. THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR FRONT END COLLISION FOUR MONTH AGO. THE DAMAGE WAS COSMETIC INCLUDING THE FRONT BUMPER GRILL AND HOOD. THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL DAMAGE AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN A BODY SHOP AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST WEEKS INCIDENT WITH THE STEERING.

THE 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SPORADICALLY PULLS HARD TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AT SLOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS (BETWEEN 5-50 MPH). THIS JUST SUDDENLY BEGAN TO HAPPEN. WITH FORCE THE VEHICLE CAN BE KEPT IN LINE, BUT THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. I CHECKED AND THIS VEHICLES VIN IS NOT IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL.
Power train, Jun 30, 2019
I HAVE COMPLAINED AT EVERY OIL CHANGE ABOUT HOW OUR CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARD WHILE IN GEAR ON A SMALL INCLINE MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR ROLL BACK COLLISION WHEN REMOVING FOOT FROM BRAKE TO PLACE IT ON ACCELERATOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY SINCE PURCHASE

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS LITERALLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND COULD NOT GET ACCELERATION. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTED.
Power train, May 23, 2019
2015 CAMRY HAS EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THE SAME TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE 2012-2014 MODELS THAT WERE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THIS YEAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE ON THIS YEAR. STARTED OUT WITH SHUDDER AROUND 25-30MPH, NOW IT'S ALSO HAPPENING AROUND 35-45MPH, VEHICLE WILL ALSO REV OUT IN GEAR GIVING NO ACCELERATION. NOW THIS CAR IS BARELY EVEN DRIVABLE. THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING UP TO THE HIGHEST GEARS EVEN WHEN SPEED IS VERY LOW, AS THOUGH YOU WERE DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE AT 15MPH IN FIFTH GEAR. THE ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS THAT HELPED AND NOW NO LONGER WILL, WERE PUNCHING THE THROTTLE DURING A SHUDDER TO DOWNSHIFT, OR DOWNSHIFTING IN THE MANUAL MODE. UNHOOKING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN THE SYSTEM POWER TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO LEARNING MODE, WHICH HELPED FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL THE VEHICLE WENT RIGHT BACK TO THE SAME ISSUES. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE LIMPS AROUND WITH ANY TYPE OF DRIVING, SHIFTS TO GEARS THAT ARE TOO HIGH FOR THE APPROPRIATE SPEED WITH DANGEROUSLY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION OR NONE AT ALL, AND SHUDDERS IN TWO SPEED RANGES.
Service brakes, May 15, 2019
BRAKE WARNING LIGHT STAYED LIT AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. BRAKES WERE NOT AS EFFECTIVE IN STOPPING VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE CHECK. DEALER STATES THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE ECU NEEDS TO BE REFLASHED. ERROR CODE C1141. WOULD NOT EXPECT THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO HAVE THIS SHORT OF A LIFE.

I GOT CAMRY SE 2015 IN AUGUST 2015 AND AFTER 18 MONTHS BATTERY TOTALLY OUT OF FUNCTION SO I REPLACED BATTERY NOW LAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE ISSUE WITH STEERING TROUBLE SHOOOTING. STEERING DOING BUZZING WEIRD SOUND AND I CONTACT TO TOYOTA BECAUSE I HEARD THAT 110,000 RECALLS THOSE TIME FOR STEERING ISSUE AND THEY SAID AS PER YOUR VIN NUMBER YOUR VEHICLE NOT RECALL. I WENT TO CAR MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ABLE TO FIND A THIS SOUND. I AM WORRYING ABOUT ANY MY CAR IS EFFECTED ANY MANUFACTURER ISSUE BECAUSE WITHIN SHORT TIME BATTERY GONE AND NOW STEERING ISSUE.
Steering, Apr 8, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED AND PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE FORCE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO TOYOTA OF SURPRISE (13543 N AUTOSHOW AVE, SURPRISE, AZ 85388, (623) 469-6027). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

THE DASH HAS A CLICKING/POPPING NOISE EVERY TIME I BRAKE, IT CAN BECOME DISTRACTING WHEN I AM DRIVING. I HAVE REVIEWED A NUMBER OF BLOGS AND IT APPEARS THAT CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASED THE SAME CARE HAVE A SIMILAR/SAME ISSUE AS I DO WITH THE 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY.
Steering, Mar 11, 2019
TWICE NOW, WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, AFTER PULLING INTO MY SUBDIVISION STREET THE CAR HAS PULLED SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT BUT AFTER DRIVING SLOWLY AROUND FOR A WHILE AND STOPPING AND BACKING UP THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IF THE CAR WERE TO CONTINUE TO PULL SO SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT IT WOULD BE UNSAFE AND UNDRIVABLE. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS AN INTERMITTANT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING OR PERHAPS A STICKING PARKING BRAKE OR STICKING BRAKE CYLINDER. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK IT AFTER THE FIRST TIME BUT HE COULDN'T REPEAT THE PROBLEM (BUT HE ONLY DROVE THE CAR AFTER IT HAD ALREADY CLEARED UP).
Steering, Feb 26, 2019
STEERING SUDDENLY STARTED PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT AT SLOW SPEEDS. ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINT FORUMS, THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON DEFECT. THIS DEFECT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS A LIMITED RECALL ON THIS DEFECT ALREADY. WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE GETTING CHEATED BY BEING EXCLUDED FROM THE EXISTING RECALL ON THIS WIDELY KNOWN DANGEROUS DEFECT?
Steering, Feb 19, 2019
AT RANDOM TIMES THE STEERING WOULD START PULLING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT PRETTY HARD. IT SEEMS LIKE IF THE WHEEL IS TURNED IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THAT'S THE DIRECTION IT WOULD PULL TO. TOYOTA RECALLED OVER 110,00 OF THAT YEAR AND MODEL FOR AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ECU AND MY VEHICLE ISN'T A PART OF THAT RECALL BUT THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD BE AS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD START PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT. IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STRAIGHTENED THE WHEEL OUT AND TURNED IT BACK ON, THE PROBLEM WOULD DISAPPEAR AND THEN RANDOMLY IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER
Steering, Feb 4, 2019
WHILE DRIVING CAR CONSISTENTLY PULLS LEFT THEN AFTER PARKING AND SHUTTING THE CAR OFF THE CAR PULLS RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A ROW RIGHT THEN LEFT THEN RIGHT. THE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL.

DEAR SIR/MADAM, I'VE BOUGHT A CERTIFIED CAMRY 2015 WITH 30K MILES ON IT 6 MONTH AGO FROM OURISMAN FAIRFAX TOYOTA DEALER! THE CAR CAME WITH 4 BRAND NEW GOODYEAR TIRES. LAST WEEK, BOTH MY FRONT TIRES GOT FLAT AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SIDEWALLS WHICH MEANS THE TIRES WERE OF SUCH A LOW QUALITY! ONE OF MY TIRES GOT A 3-INCH HOLE ON THE SIDEWALL AT LOW SPEED! THANK GOD WE WEREN'T ON A HIGHWAY IN THE TIME OF THAT INCIDENT! ANYWAY, I FOLLOWED UP THIS PROBLEM TO AT LEAST GET MY FLAT TIRES COVERED BY MY TOYOTA CERTIFICATION OR TIRE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. BOTH OF THEM DENIED TO HELP ME AND REFERRED ME TO EACH OTHER! I'M STILL SHOCKED WHY TWO FRONT TIRES SHOULD GET FLAT AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SIDEWALL NOT ON TREAD! WHILE THEY'VE BEEN ONLY USED FOR LESS THAN 8K MILES! IT PUTS MY WHOLE FAMILY'S LIFE IN DANGER! THEY SHOULD AT LEAST PAY ME FOR THE FLAT TIRES! I HIGHLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD HELP ME SOLVE THIS ISSUE, REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

AFTER STARTING THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY PULLS LEFT UNTIL DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, THEN AT NEXT START IT PULLS RIGHT. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR. THE STEERING FEELS IMPRECISE AND JUST AFTER STARTING THE CAR ACTUALLY PULLS INTO OTHER LANE
Steering, Jan 19, 2019
THIS STARTED HAPPENING THIS WEEK. IF THE FRONT TIRES ARE POINTING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED, THE CAR WILL PULL HARD TO THAT SIDE WHEN I START DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN TURN THE CAR, BUT THE STEERING SEEMS LESS RESPONSIVE THAN NORMAL. PULLING OVER WITH THE FRONT TIRES FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD, SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTARTING THE CAR SEEMS TO RESET SOMETHING IN THE STEERING AND THE STEERING WILL WORK NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THE STEERING ON THIS CAR. I CHECKED AND MY VIN IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT, BUT IT'S CLEAR FROM READING OTHER REPORTS ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND UNSOLVED PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.
Steering, Seat belts, Jan 18, 2019
DRIVER'S SEATBELT IS HARD TO RELEASE WHEN APPLIED STEERING WHEEL MAKES A NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS,WETHER OR NOT VEHICLE IS IN MOTION;LIKE IF IT NEEDED FLUID BUT CHECKED THE STEERING WHEEL FLUID AND LEVEL IS OK,BUT STILL STEERING WHEEL MAKES NOISE LIKE IF SOMETHING IT DEFECTED.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN TURNED OFF
Power train, Dec 28, 2018
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.
Steering, Dec 21, 2018
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.
