Reported at 37,000 miles, September 2015 CrashInjury

My 2012 camry hybrid steers hard to the left when braking when the road is crowned along the passenger side of the vehicle. I have taken it in for repair three times since I purchased it in december. First two times the dealer said that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and that toyota hadn't registered similar complaints from other owners. The most recent visit to the dealer had a different result.
