What Owners Say
"Power steering in this vehicle is electric motor assisted. The power steering started making noise and eventually locked up on the car. Replacement was $2300.00, took 1 month due to lack of parts. Toyota dealership in Keene, NH dragged their feet on a loaner car, which we ended up having for just a weekend. The entire steering column had to be replaced due to the design. This is a significant safety hazard as my wife was driving when it failed and had children in the vehicle. Luckily, it happened 2 miles from the dealership and she was able to get it there safely."
Anonymous A., NH (2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)". Here's my review: During Fall 2023 the steering became stiffer. I described the problem to an auto technician over the phone and he said the car was safe to drive as long as the steering didn't get significantly stiffer but that the problem should be repaired as soon as possible. This stiffness slowly got worse until I could see an auto technician. The problem was constant. The problem was resolved a couple of weeks later when the auto technician replaced what he said was the U-bolt (I think it was 'U-bolt'. It might have been U-'something else'. I don't remember exactly.) in the steering mechanism. The repair cost $1200. I don't understand why I'm receiving the response message "One or more questions require further input." when I hit the "Next" button on the lower right of the screen. It seems that there is a software glitch on this page of the survey. In addition, why does this page keep saying I have "3000 characters left" when I've typed in a long paragraph of text?"
