Consumer Description

WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALER FOR MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, I WAS TOLD THE POWERING STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING AND THEREFORE THE RACK AND PINION STEERING WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1790. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT LOW MILEAGE AND SO FOR A LUXURY VEHICLE, I THOUGHT THIS TYPE OF REPLACEMENT THIS SOON WAS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE 2 FRIENDS WITH THE EXACT SAME CAR AND SAME YEAR AND THEY BOTH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO HAVE THEIRS REPLACED AS WELL. ONE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, ONE WAS NOT. I CALLED TO COMPLAIN TO LEXUS CORPORATE AND WAS OFFERED $700 TO HELP PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR. THIS TYPE OF LUXURY CAR AT 65,000 MILES SHOULD NOT NEED THIS REPLACED. *TR
