Description of the problem	It is a 2006 highlander hybrid with 105200 miles and well maintained.. It looses power assist in steering at all speeds intermittently. It is very dangerous as i have to put lot of muscle in steering at low speeds but it had lost power assist even at 65 mph as well which made me very nervous. I cannot drive the vehicle as the power steering p/s light comes on most of the times now. Only once a while it is off which is when i drive but few miles of driving gets the light back on with no power assist. I have seen many people in forums with the same problem for that years hybrids. Therefore i am requesting to help me out with either a recall or getting this fixed at my local rochester mn dealership. Anything you could do at the earliest would be appreciated..
