What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 toyota camary. The contact stated while driving approximately 5 MPH as she made a left turn the steering wheel seized. The contact crashed into another vehicle and sustained an injury to her head, and shoulder. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanics garage. The failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,500. The VIN was not available. 12,500.
Vehicle is ok at approximately <50MPH but at highway speeds it requires 100% concentration to not veer out of the driving lane. It wanders all over the road on its own. It behaves like you are driving in a severe cross wind though there is no wind present. Many such complaints all over the internet. Completely unsafe and I have forbidden my family from driving it and am in the process of selling it.
