STEERING
AT SPEEDS OVER ABOVE 60 MPH THE CAR PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT.THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES BECAUSE THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE FROZE AND DESTROYED THE ROTOR. I HAD A FULL BRAKE INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE OK. ONE WEEK LATER THE FRONT BRAKE LOCKED UP ON THE PASSENGER AND WENT ON FIRE. THE DEALER TELLS ME THE CALIPER FROZE. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE ALL THE PADS AND ROTORS ON THE FRONT END. THE IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAMRY. I HAVE READ ENDLESS REPORTS OF DIFFICULTY WITH CONTROLLING THIS CAR WHILE BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A BRAKING ISSUE NOT ALIGNMENT. *TR
