NHTSA complaint #10205699, filed 2007-10, 39,394 miles“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.. …”

NHTSA complaint #10098743, filed 2004-11, 500 miles“This incident involves changing a flat tire (front passenger side) on my 2004 Toyota Camry. This was the first time I have had to change a tire since I bought this vehicle new in 2004. I loosened the lug nuts slightly and then placed the jack under the car as indicated in the owner's manual. As I started to raise the car, I noticed that the jack was twisting under the weight of the vehicle. I then lowered the vehicle, repositioned the jack and tried again. The jack appeared to be slightly twisted but not as much as the first attempt. I removed the lug nuts and took off the flat tire. …”
