STEERING:RACK AND PINION, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
POWER STEERING RACK & PINION GEAR AND HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE BEGAIN TO LEAK AT ABOUT 70,000 MILES. DEALER SAID THESE ITEMS NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOW TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A NEW PART NUMBER FOR THE POWER STEERING GEAR, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL PART. 70,000 IS WAY TO EARLY FOR SUCH A FAILURE. THE REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY. PARTS ALONE FOR THE REPAIR ARE ABOUT $1400. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COMPENSATE.

SUSPENSION
THESE PARTS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY TOYOTA AND WE OWNERS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED THE COST. SEVERAL SERVICE WRITERS AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER HAVE TOLD ME THAT MANY OF THESE STRUT ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED. I'VE DRIVEN OTHER TOYOTA MODELS, 3, OVER 900,000 AND HAVE NEVER REPLACED THE STRUT ASSEMBLIES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE, AS IF THIS ASSEMBLY BREAKS, WHILE DRIVING, YOU MAY HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
HAD I NOT GOTTEN MY FAMILY OUT OF THE CAR PROMTLY AND TAKEN ALL APPROPRIATE ACTIONS, THE RESULTS OF THE FIRE COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. FIRE INVESTIGATOR STATED OIL DRIPPED ONTO EXAHUST MANIFOLD AFTER EXPLOSION CAUSING FIRE. I WONDER, COULD A DRIP SHIELD HAVE PREVENT THE FIRE? I WAS FEATHERING THE ACCELERATOR WHEN THE ENGINE BLEW-UP. COULD THE COMBINATION OF FEATHERING AND HIGHER SPEED HAVE CAUSED AN CONTROL SITUATION THAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION? IT LOOKS LIKE THE PART FAILED IN A ROTATING PART OF THE ENGINE. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE PART FAILED IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION; WOULD THER HAVE BEEN ANY RISK TO PASSENGERS OR PEDESTRIANS?*AK
