Description of the problem	Driving my 68000 mile 4 year old tundra on back road about 45 mph and steering locked up, and started shuttering. Was able to slam on brakes and get off the road only to find power steering rack and pinion was blown out and fluid everywhere . This is no a issue of wear its an issue of defect parts in these tundras , there are many many others online with the same issue . This needs to be address before someone gets severely injured from this. Waiting on pictures from the dealer and can send them to you. Toyota claims steering rack went bad due to dust boot being ripped and outside debris causing seal failure, but while attempting to figure out what was wrong with vehicle while on side of road my arm ripped the dust boot so the dust boot was never ripped until after vehicles was pulled over and already broken .
