Description of the problem	I just bought the car 2 weeks ago (3/17/14) and it has been driven for 500 miles without any incident. Last night i parked in my usual spot across the road from my house. On the morning of sunday (3/30/14) i went to turn on my car and i notice a p/s red light came on and did a quick search on the internet and realized it was my power steering failing. Did a quick test, confirmed that my steering wheel was difficult to turn. I did some further research on the internet and realize this is a common problem with highland hybrid and there was already a nhtsa action (pe06055) filed previously but had no conclusion. I want to make sure that this problem was brought up again, that it hasn't gone away, it is dangerous and i have seen numerous web blog about this: http://www. Greenhybrid. Com/discuss/f12/2006-hch-lost-power-steering-briefly-25044/ http://answers. Edmunds. Com/question-power-steering-failure-on-2006-highlander-hybrid-9455. Aspx it is absurd that toyota refuse to do anything about a bad quality product they produce. If they don't want to recall, at least fix the one that actually experience the problem rather then have people shelling out their money (on top of what they already paid to purchase the car) to fix a problem that toyota created in the outset.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
