| Description of the problem | Steering rack boot on the passenger side has a leak. I was told that i need to replace the whole steering rack and pinion costing almost $1400. This is a very common problem in toyota sienna 2006 and toyota issued psb 0097-12 for this but not a recall. Toyota even changed the design in the newer models after 2006. Even though it is a defective design but toyota does not seem to care and own responsibility for this. Customers are paying for this. |
