Consumer Description

MY TRUCK IS A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4 LIMITED. IT HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. I TYPICALLY ONLY DRIVE IT ON THE WEEKENDS. I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A TURN, ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER STEERING. THE ACCORDION BOOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS FULL OF POWER STEERING FLUID. IT BLEW A SEAL ON THE STEERING ROD. THE WHOLE RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED. 18 HOUR LABOR JOB, AND WITH PARTS $3000.00. I ALMOST GOT INTO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN IT. YOU HAVE TO DROP THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY TO CHANGE IT THAT'S WHY IT COST SO MUCH. THIS HAS TO BE A FACTORY DECFECT. ANY INPUT?
