Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While driving on a city street, the steering became extremely difficult as if power steering shut down. "eps failure, steering wheel harder to turn" warning appeared on the dash cluster. We pulled over, turned off the vehicle, then turned it back on -- the warning disappeared and steering was normal again. Our highlander was manufactured in 3/15. My vin was not in the recall for nhtsa campaign number: 15v144000. Toyota replaced the steering computer under warranty, at no charge. I'm writing to suggest the extent of condition needs to be expanded to include additional vehicles. |
