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 $1600. 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. THIS TYPE OF LUXURY CAR AT 55,000 MILES SHOULD NOT NEED THIS REPLACED. IT SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND LEXUS SHOULD DO A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL 2008 LEXUS RX350. *TR
