Consumer Description

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY, CAR VEERED TO THE RIGHT, BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER; DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT WENT ON. THIS HAS OCCURRED UP TO 20 TIMES, SOMETIMES AS SOON AS THE CAR IS TURNED ON, SOMETIMES ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEED. IF VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, LOSS OF POWER STEERING CAUSES VEHICLE TO JUMP SIDEWAYS. AT TIMES, LOSS OF POWER STEERING IS PRECEDED BY GROANING SOUND. OWNERS' MANUAL ADVISES STOPPING THE VEHICLE, WAITING UNTIL WARNING LIGHT GOES OUT, AND TAKING CAR TO DEALER. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE COMPUTER MEMORY SHOWS THE WARNING LIGHT GOING ON, BUT THERE APPEARS TO BE NOTHING WRONG WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING UNIT, AND DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE OCCURRENCE ON A TEST DRIVE. *TR
