| Description of the problem | On turns, there has been a "clunk" noise under right front driver side. Upon being examined by a local mechanic, i was informed that the right front tie rod is loose and the rack and pinion boot is torn and leaking. Estimated cost of repair was $ 1000. Upon researching this matter i have discovered that this is an extremely common occurrence. I contacted toyota customer service and was informed that although several siennas fall under a service campaign to fix this issue, mine does not. They were not willing t o budge on that this is a manufacturer defect. I am understanding that they issued a psb009112 on this issue but not a full recall. I also understand that they changed design after 2006 so obviously a manufacturer issue. Very disappointed in toyota, as i've had hyundai and suburu stand by manufacturer defects several times even without a recall via safety campaigns. This seems like a dangerous issue for toyota not to be concerned. |
