Description of the problem	We had a steering problem with this car for a number of months. The steering would become very difficult and felt as if it was locking up, especially in the middle of a turn. It was extremely difficult to control the car and required much effort. Towards the beginning, it was a bit intermittent. At the first visit to the toyota dealer, we paid for other service in a vain effort to address the problem at the recommendation of the service advisor, as they said they were unable to reproduce the problem; no mention was made of this problem, and no indication was made that an inspection was made to see if this was the source of our complaint even though a tsb had existed for well over a year and numerous complaints had been logged through nhtsa and on the internet. The technicians said they could not reproduce the problem. On the second visit, i referenced the toyota tsb (#10020994 from 01/2007) and they replaced the intermediate steering shaft (i have the original) at my cost! (total of ~$700 for 2 visits). We came close to having accidents in the car before the repair was made. This is an extreme hazard which will likely cause bodily or property harm if toyota does not recall these vehicles soon.

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.
