Consumer Description

TOYOTA HAS A RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE RUST AND THEY DID UNDERCOAT MY TRUCK. YESTERDAY WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A SQUEALING SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CHECKED AND FOUND MY POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW A PUDDLE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT THE STEERING RACK HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND POWER STEERING FLUID STREAMS OUT WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.
