“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10650195, filed 2014-10, 35,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10496483, filed 2013-02, 10 miles“Abs indicator and slip indicator lights came on. Took it to the dealer and was told that my ABS actuator/steering angle sensor needs to be replaced at a cost of 3400.00. I only have 21000 miles on the car. I was wondering if there are other 2011 Camry's with this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10564958, filed 2014-02, 21,021 miles“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”
NHTSA complaint #10650174, filed 2014-10, 79,397 miles“Im really unhappy with this car its just 1 thing after another first had the noisy moon roof issue and finally got it fixed by bringing in the TSB so it could not be denied, now I have a noisy power steering pump that whine very loud but was told that its normal (what a crock). Currently my car is shifting hard on take off and decreasing speed to stop. Toyota has really gone down. I traded a 2000 Camry xle that was better than this newer model.”
