Consumer Description

IT IS A 2006 HIGHLANDER HYBRID WITH 105200 MILES AND WELL MAINTAINED.. IT LOOSES POWER ASSIST IN STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE TO PUT LOT OF MUSCLE IN STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS BUT IT HAD LOST POWER ASSIST EVEN AT 65 MPH AS WELL WHICH MADE ME VERY NERVOUS. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS THE POWER STEERING P/S LIGHT COMES ON MOST OF THE TIMES NOW. ONLY ONCE A WHILE IT IS OFF WHICH IS WHEN I DRIVE BUT FEW MILES OF DRIVING GETS THE LIGHT BACK ON WITH NO POWER ASSIST. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE IN FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THAT YEARS HYBRIDS. THEREFORE I AM REQUESTING TO HELP ME OUT WITH EITHER A RECALL OR GETTING THIS FIXED AT MY LOCAL ROCHESTER MN DEALERSHIP. ANYTHING YOU COULD DO AT THE EARLIEST WOULD BE APPRECIATED.. CUSTOMER REQUEST TO BE REMOVED FROM COMPLAINT LIST, CELL PHONE , ADDRESS. NOT TO BE CONTACTED. UPDATED 08/12/16*LJ UPDATED 6/18/18*JB
