NHTSA Complaint #10546360 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

I FIRST NOTICED IN EARLY MAY 2013, THAT WHEN I TURN MY VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT AT 1 - 5 MPH, THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK/PINION. I MENTIONED TO TOYOTA AT MY LAST SERVICE. I WAS TOLD, AS USUAL, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AND, THAT IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE WHEN I PROBLEMS WITH MY BREAKS, I HAD TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO REMEDY THAT ISSUE. ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2013, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT. I HIT GOOD SIZE SHRUB AND NOW THERE IS A SLIGHT DENT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. I SELECTED "CRASH" BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I ONLY HIT A GOOD SIZED SHRUB, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. *TR
