Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT 20MPH OFF A RAMP ONTO ANOTHER ROAD AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO JAM ON MY BRAKES TO STOP MY CAR FAST OR THE CAR WOULD HAVE WENT OFF THE SIDE DOWN A HILL AND CRASHED. THANK GOD I WAS NOT GOING FAST OR I WOULDN'T BE HERE. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME HERE WE GO AGAIN 2ND TIME AFTER I FIX IT REPLACED THE STEERING COMPUTER BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL UNDER THE DASH, WORKED GREAT FOR ABOUT A DAY,NOW I START THE CAR THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ON DASH COMES ON I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT BUT I HAVE STEERING. PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL LIGHT COMES ON,PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE LIGHT GOES OUT. IM SO PISSED OFF ABOUT THIS I STILL OWE MONEY ON THIS CAR AND NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. WHAT KIND OF CARS DO TOYOTA SELL. THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THESE STEERING PROBLEMS NOT ME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
