Description of the problem	At 68,000 miles, my toyota highlander steering has become very loose. The steering wheel play is about two inches. Dealer tells me no recalls, but, after making hundreds of thousands of these units, one bad one is bound to occur. Unfortunately, i got the bad one. Dealer admits the vehicle has been very well taken care of. It is otherwise in excellent condition. I am 73 years old and drive very carefully. No accidents or abuse of the vehicle. No tickets or accidents in 55years. Why would a vehicle i have maintained well and taken care of suddenly develop a bad steering rack? Especially since toyota claims to have excellent reliability. I do not feel this vehicle is safe. It wonders allover the road.
