Steering Too sensitive?

I've just bought a 2007 camry, never had a toyota before and am noticing that steering turns on it's own sometimes when I go over certain surfaces on the road. Is this common or could I have some steering problems?

Like the other day, there was this section on the road in the left turning lane, when I approached it the wheels started turning right on their own (when I wasnt holding it tightly), I started backing up and then it started backing into left...


ANy ideas?

Sensitive in the wrong way? The steering wheel is sensitive, the car is not as reactive as say a.. Miata.

I noticed that my Cam's steering wheel will move a little, while the car barely corrects. This is helpful when I navigate crappy road surfaces at high speeds... this is unlike the more sensitive Euro steering, where the car really turns with each correction of the wheel.

Well MJZ I nderstand that much, I'm not retarded. what I want to know is if this is common on camrys. It seems a slight changes in road shape affect the steering greatly and on my old volkswagen and mazda it didnt do that. So what I want to know is: Is it common for camrys to have such sensitive steering?
