Description of the problem	i have a 2002 tundra sr5 with ~65k miles. This morning when i try to pull on the drive gear shift handle to move from park to reverse. The shift handle snapped off unexpected - broke. Toyota dealer wants to charge ~$600. 00 to remove and replace with a use steering column (if the use can be found), as the new steering column will cost over $1k. I believe this is appear to be a flawed design for attach the shift lever. The shift lever handle should be out live the tundra with only ~65k miles. I need help to get toyota to cover this design defect as this could result safety and costly.
