Consumer Description

TOOK VEHICLE TO LEXUS DEALER FOR 90,000 MILE SERVICE AND TECH FOUND POWER STEERING FLUID LOW AND DIRTY. WHEN LOOKING FURTHER, TECH FOUND THAT STEERING RACK WAS TORN AND LEAKING. TECH REQUESTED TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PERFORM A FLUSH. I DECLINED BECAUSE OF THE EXORBITANT COST ($1,000?). THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND VERY SIMILAR TO A COMPLAINT FILED 11-5-13, NHTSA I.D. NO. 10550956. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PATTERN HERE, THE PRODUCT RECALLED, AND LEXUS/TOYOTA ACCEPT THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ASAP. I BELIEVE THEY MAY HAVE SERVICE BULLETIN NO. LSB-0107-12, NHTSA I.D. NO. 10050660, STEERING, ISSUED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. THANK YOU. *TR
