Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car started pulling to the right when travelling 65-70 mph, leading to hitting a bridge wall and going down hill after that.suspension and steering heavily damaged, also damage to the body of car. i have been driving for more than 4 years now and this is the first time that i saw a car behave so strangely. since toyota camry has so many complaints from consumers saying that the car pulls to the left, i am thinking if the car was tampered with before sale, causing it to pull to the right instead of left to keep the complaints at bay.. also while driving for the 4 months that i had the car i noticed that the steering would turn to the right when ever i braked(i should have reported this at that very moment) unfortunate that i am doing this after been an horrible accident. *ak
