Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Steering system, potentially related to electric power steering (EPS) or driver-assist systems (lane keeping or steering assist). While completing a routine right-hand turn, my husband began to straighten the steering wheel when the steering system suddenly and sharply turned further right without any driver input. This caused the vehicle to strike a curb, damaging both passenger-side wheels and the front tire. There were no warning lights or indicators, and road and weather conditions were normal. The uncommanded steering input appeared to come from the vehicle itself. The incident resulted in loss of directional control and could have been severe had another vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist been present. This behavior reflects a serious and unexpected failure in the steering or driver-assist system, posing a direct threat to driver and public safety. I reported the incident to my local Toyota dealership. I have since signed Toyota’s EDR (Event Data Recorder) consent form, and an official inspection has occurred but they haven't provided detail. They also did not make me aware the inspection was taking place and did it without coordination. They have not confirmed that this has happened before. A similar, though less severe, issue occurred previously while I was driving on the highway. As I approached a merging lane to my right, the car suddenly pulled sharply to the right, seemingly misinterpreting the lane markings or misjudging its position. There were no vehicles next to me at the time, and I was able to regain control. While it did not result in a collision, it was alarming and appears to have been a driver-assist or steering control malfunction.
