| Description of the problem | Looking at the complaints, this looks similar to odi id number : 10222095 date of failure: march 21, 2008. I was at a dead stop. I turned my steering to the left as possible. As i was rounding the turn slowly, the power steering was lost. I was unable to make the u-turn completely. I had to run off of the road. After driving straight to repair shop, the mechanic said the rack and pinion had to be replaced because the rods were bent to what looked like could have been service work related to the ball joint recall. I've only got 19800 miles on a 2006 tundra crew cab. No way this should occur with this few many miles. I'm just glad i wasn't at a high rate of speed and trying to round a curve. I don't drive it much and not used on a farm. It's been very well cared for so it shouldn't have caused that much strain on the rack. |
