| Description of the problem | Toyota dealer said the rack and pinion steering unit was leaking had to be repaired, at a very high cost. Looking online, i find that a lot of other people have had this issue, but there has been no recall. Apparently most people do not know how to report such issues. There is no reason why a vehicle only five years old should be having this problem. I would suspect that newer and older models may also be affected. |
