Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT APX 65 MPH GOING ONTO THE OFF RAMP GOING DOWN TO 25MPH THE STEERING BECAME VERY TIGHT AND THEN AS I DROVE HOME THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED CLICKING. I CHECKED FLUIDS AT HOME AND THEY LOOKED OK. DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND POWER STEERING WAS GONE LEFT AND RIGHT THEN HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, IT FELT OK GOING STRAIGHT. AFTER I DROVE IT IT BECAME MORE INTERMITTENT WITH POWER COMING AND GOING ALTOGETHER. ON 8/26/15 HAD A SMALL ACCIDENT ON THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL. IT WAS AT BODY SHOP FOR 4 DAYS. I HAD ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE STEERING AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE RACK AND PINION. CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL IN 2010 WAS FOR A DIFFERENT STEERING ISSUE THAN THE STEERING PROBLEM THAT I MENTIONED. TOYOTA SAID THEY CANNOT HELP ME. I INFORMED THEM OF A DISABILITY I HAVE AND MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ADJUST TO IT. TOO BAD!
