Consumer Description

ON 30 DECEMBER 2010, I TOOK MY 2004 TOYOTA AVALON FOR SERVICE PER A RECALL FOR A STEERING BRACKET REPLACEMENT. I PICKED UP THE CAR ON 03 JANUARY 2011 AND DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS DRIVEN WAS ON JANUARY 10 AND I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS "STICKING" SO I NOTIFIED THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WHILE DRIVING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED, THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I NEARLY CRASHED BEFORE MANAGING TO STOP. THE CAR WAS TOWED IN FOR SERVICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE "STEERING RACK". I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS THAT REPAIRS TO THE STEERING DUE TO A RECALL WERE PERFORMED AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR
