Well,I did the measurements myself this time and the mechanic was right all along.Its definitely half an inch higher on the left front than the right front.The tire pressures were same on all four sides to produce accurate results.
 
I even when to another mechanic at a local tire and allighment center.He even measured it and confirmed that the left front is half an inch higher than the right.He even drove it and noticed that there was definitely a problem.He said it may be possible that they would need to change the struts and springs to correct the ride height.
  
This time I have a print out of the mechanic analysis that states the problem and recommends that the vehicle will need to be adjusted to the correct height adjustment and will need allighment after the adjustment.
 
The only reason why I got the printout is so I can show the the service manager that there indeed is a problem and I had a mechanic confirm that.I just don't want to hear its normal this time.
 
I even found a tsb out online.It adresses the car pulling to the right and left side,but only recommends an allighment.
I think it may apply to my vehicle since I do feel the car pulling to the right alot.But I suppose an allignment will be checked and performed regardless of the tsb.
 
So the fact that I went to two mechanics and they confirmed my complaint then there is definitely a problem.Tomorrow I will go to the service department and let them know.Lets see what they say and do this time.I'll keep you guys posted.

I am having the same loose steering problems with my new 2007 Camry, which I bought 2 days ago. It has a 4-cyl engine and there is no vibration problem, but the steering is disturbing.
 
I travel a lot and drive a variety of rental vehicles, and have never had a car with such loose steering. I certainly never had a vehicle that I was afraid to drive, but I am afraid to drive this one because it is so hard to keep in centered in a lane. After reading the suggestions on this topic, I will call the dealer tomorrow and see if there is anything they can do.

I have a 2007 V6 RAV4 that has the same brake buzzing noise. It occurs every time I press or release the brake pedal. When I took the vehicle back to the dealer they claimed that it was a normal noise caused by the stability control system. It seemed to be a new issue to them and I don't believe they had any idea what caused the buzzing sound. Has anyone received a definitive answer from Toyota or found a fix for the noise?

Can't speak directly to the Rav4 VSC, but I have a 2007 Camry w/VSC.... and I don't have any buzzing.

I have a 2007 Camry V6 SE and can confirm that I am experiencing the same loose steering issue. I have complained to the service department and was told that the way it drives is normal.

Please define "loose." Is it "play" in the wheel, that is, you turn the wheel slightly and the car doesn't change direction?
 
Or is it "light?" That is, little effort is needed to turn the wheel, regardless of road speed, and you get little "feel of the road" through the wheel.
 
If the latter, then this is normal, and has been a Camry characteristic for a long time.

The suspension on the SE is so tight that every bump in the road moves the steering wheel, thus causing for the driver to correct in order to stay straight. This constant fighting with the car is what the term "loose" meant. I presume that this is because of over boosted power steering.
 
I wonder why Toyota would boost the steering so much on the SE with such a tight suspension.

Gary,
 
Here's the TSB # that the tech wrote down for me: NV009-06
 
They removed the "cowling louver" and installed an anti-noise kit under the bottom of windshield/cowling. I didn't hear any rattles on the way home, though it is quite warm out... we shall see.

2007 LE Slow Turns and Vehicle almost stops.. by venky_rk

Hi,
 
I got a 2 weeks old 2007 Camry LE and it drives great except
when I take a slow sharp turn in my way to work, it slows
down completely and takes 2-4 seconds to regain the speed and move forward..
 
It is very strange and I'm worried.. is this a Known Toyota problem ...or a unique one..
 
Please advise.
