Description of the problem | Pulled out of my driveway to find that the steering wheel was intermittently stiff during turning. Became progressively worse until i took it to a dealer to find that the intermediate steering shaft was apparently bad. Doing some research online found that this is a common issue with this vehicle. I can no longer have my wife or children use my toyota tacoma for fear that she does not have the physical strength to avoid an accident. |
