| Description of the problem | While trying to adjust my steering wheel, i pulled the lever and a piece fell on to the floor the size of a half dollar. Now my steering wheel does not lock while i drive. The toyota service department stated that i need to make an appointment, which none are available for 2-3 weeks. They suggested i go back home and make an appointment and wait. I was only 2 miles from the service department when this happened, so i took the vehicle in, and told them they are keeping the car until it is fixed. I am glad i was alone, and not driving at 55mph on the highway when this occurred. |
