Consumer Description

WE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING FOR THE 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA WAS BEGINNING TO GET HARD. SOMETIMES IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO POWER STEEING, THEN IT WOULD BECOME EASIER. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LACK OF POWER STEERING FLUID, BUT FOUND OUT IT WAS THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THE SWITCHING FROM HARD-TO-TURN STEERING TO REGULAR POWER STEERING MADE DRIVING DIFFICULT AND UNPREDICTABLE. TOYOTA ISSUED TWO TSB'S ON THIS STEERING SHAFT COMPONENT, AND, I UNDERSTOOD HAD RECALLED THE SAME COMPONENT IN ITS PRIUS MODEL. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS DANGER. *AK
