| Description of the problem | Rack and pinion steering needed to be replaced. Mechanic at firestone indicated that he used to work at a toyota dealership where he witnessed dozens and dozens of sienna's whose rack and pinion steering was leaking and required replaced. We had the work done at toyota but it cost over $1,400. The rack and pinion steering should not have been leaking. Our car was garage kept for 100% of its life, and was well cared for. I believe this item should be a formal recall handed down to toyota. Thank you. |
