    While on the street as i was backing my car into a parking space adjacent to the street curb the car suddenly accelerated in reverse at high speed, crashing over the curb and sidewalk, rear end first. My stepping on the brakes in an attempt to stop the car was unsuccessful; the car did not come to a stop until it crashed into an iron fence which bordered the yard causing damage to the fence and the car. A similar…

    While driving and turning the steering wheel, the steering stiffens up and then releases about every 5 degrees before stiffening up again. This is an electronically controlled power steering.

    So i noticed that my 2009 toyota camry hybrid steering is requiring extra power to turn the steering. It's very stiff and i could hardly be able to make both left and right turning.

    Steering

    Car pulls either left or right. When making a turn steering wheel does not return. The car just keeps turning. This has happened on very low speeds or speeds of 35 to 45 mph. I believe this is a sensor problem, alternator problem or something involving the tow bar or rack and pinion assembly.
