Consumer Description
LEVER DROPPED HOLDING THE COLLAPSING STEERING COLUMN IN PLACE. HAS BEEN DOING SO FAIRLY REGULARLY SINCE. I CONSIDER THIS A DESIGN DEFECT. THE TOYOTA DEALER STATES THAT ONLY A NEW STEERING COLUMN WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT A COST OF MORE THAN $1100.00. I NOTE THAT THERE ARE OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS, AND SINCE THIS IS CONSIDERED A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF AFFECTED AUTOS. *TR
