Consumer Description

BOUGHT A NEW 2012 CAMRY. FIRST TIME ON HIGHWAY NOTICED EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING DRIVING 50MPH. I WAS VERY SURPRISED ON HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT AT HIGH SPEEDS. STEERING WHEEL IS VERY LOOSE AND ERRATIC. DRIVING NEXT TO A BIG RIG TRUCK I HAD TO FOCUS ALL MY EFFORT (MOVING MY STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT) TO KEEP CAR CENTERED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE STEERING FEELS UNSTABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HOPE TOYOTA CAN UTILIZE A FIX FOR THIS ASAP. I WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH MY LOCAL DEALER ON MY CONCERNS. *TR
