“22' Camry LE. Was driving over a bridge that's undergoing construction, as many areas around me are. There were few lines painted to distinguish lanes. Driving in the right lane when (I'm assuming) Lane Assist suddenly pulled me to the right. Thankfully I caught it before anything had happened, but if it hadn't, I would've gone straight into a concrete barrier at the edge of a bridge on a busy street (and over one). The most unsafe part? This feature can't be disabled permanently. It's something that has to be disabled every time you start the car.”Owner report · Steering · May 2026
