| Description of the problem | My 2005 toyota sienna started giving problems of rack and pinion leak for power steering around 90,000 miles. Asked the dealer if this could be covered under warranty or power train but was denied. Looking around various forums online, i came across that many of 2005 toyotas have this type of problem. I also own 2005 toyota camry and it also have the exact same problem at about similar mileage. Cost to repaid was mentioned as $1300. I have 2 2005 toyota vehicles and both have exact same problem wanting me to spend $2600 total to repair the rack and pinion unit of both of my cars. I understand a lot of other 2005 toyota owners also have similar complaints. It should be a recall or it should be enhanced warranty work and toyota should fix this. |
