My cousin purchased a used 1995 camry last year and while driving down the road she noticed the engine compartment was smoking so she raced to pull over one block further from where it started & at the stopping point and shutting the engine down it gulfed in flames. 2 kids in back seat she does every effort to save them. However the notorious door handles inside and out were broken she had to pray to get power back on roll the window down and grab the exterior broken handle to exit.
My car is hard to steer when I go around curves on the street of the mountains where I live. It feels as if I could drive right off of the mountain if I don't quickly correct the steering. It is as though it is slipping and accelerating as if I am losing control of the car. It is a frightening feeling as if it is pulling against what I am trying to do, such as turning the steering wheel to make it around curves safely.
