STEERING
WO WEEKS AGO THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE RIGHT. WOULD NOT STOP PULLING UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. SOMETIME TURNING THE IGNITION OFF DID NOT HELP. YESTERDAY STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE LEFT! WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL IGNITION TURNED OFF. PROBLEM IS WORST AT LOW SPEED, OR STOPED AND THEN ACCERATING SLOWLY. CITY STREET IS WORST, AND TURING WHILE ACCERATING CAR PULLS EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AT RANDOM

DASHBOARD ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IS MELTING. NOTICED SEVERAL MONTHS BACK THAT IT WAS TACKY TO THE TOUCH AND SEEMED TO GET WORSE AS THE WEATHER HEATED UP. GLARE IS BECOMING MORE OF A PROBLEM, SPECIFICALLY ON HOT SUNNY DAYS, MELTING DASHBOARD PUT A SMALL GOUGE IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN SOMETHING WAS SET ON IT AND THEN MOVED. DEBRIS AND DUST IS ALSO COLLECTING ON THE DASHBOARD. WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS AS TIME GOES ON. CALLED BOTH TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON RECALL LIST AND TOO WAIT TO SEE IF ANOTHER RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $2,000 FOR PART AND LABOR. I HAVE KEPT MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND DASHBOARD HAS SEEMED A LITTLE SLOWER TO DETERIORATE COMPARED TO OTHERS, BUT NOW THAT IT IS BREAKING DOWN, WILL MOST LIKELY DECLINE QUICKER. A PROBLEM CREATED BY TOYOTA ALSO AFFECTS RESALE AND TRADE IN VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AT NO FAULT OF THE OWNER.

SERVICE BRAKES
HI NHTSA, SEEMS LIKE OUR 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLE HAS PERSISTENT INEFFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM FOR FEW YEARS. WE HAVE CHANGED THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY RECENTLY AND EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR, VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP WITHIN SAFE STOPPING DISTANCE,THE ROOT CAUSE SEEMS TO BE STEMMING FROM INEFFECTIVE BOOSTER. APPARENTLY BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM SUPPOSED TO LAST LIFE TIME OF THE CAR CAUSE OF EXPENSIVE PARTS AND LABOR AMOUNTING TO ALMOST 5% OF THE ACTUAL COST OF CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST NHTSA TO REACH OUT TO TOYOTA CORPORATION AND HAVE ALL THE FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEMS BE REPAIRED ON ALL MAKE AND MODELS OF TOYOTA AT FREE OF COST TO THE CUSTOMER. VERY RESPECTFULLY, -[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

STEERING
WHEN I START TO DRIVE MY CAR THE STEERING EITHER GOES TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND DOES NOT STAY STRAIGHT. IT IS HAPPENING PERIODICALLY. I HAD IT CHECKED, HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND THEY COULD NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BUT DRIVING ON THE STREET IT SEEMS AS IF SOMEONE IS GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL AND PULLING IT TO EITHER SIDE.
