Consumer Description

PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE STEERING COLUMN BECAME VERY LOOSE. I HAD TO KEEP REPOSITIONING IT. I THOUGHT I HAD TIGHTEN THE SAFETY LOCK PIECE THAT HOLDS THE STEERING COLUMN IN PLACE. THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT, AS I WAS GETTING IN MY VEHICLE, THE STEERING COLUMN COMPLETELY CAME DOWN. IT WOULD NOT LOCK IN PLACE. AS I WAS ON MY WAY THE STEERING COLUMN MOVED UP AND DOWN, AND IN AND OUT. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALER. I WAS TOLD TWO PIECES OF THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE OFF. I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE FROM TOYOTA IN THE AMOUNT OF $600 FOR THE PART AND $645 FOR LABOR. *JS
