STEERING:RACK AND PINION
I ASKED TOYOTA TO EXPLAIN WHY RACK & PINION NEEDED REPLACEMENT WITH ONLY 18,300 MILES ON CAR. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER BECAUSE OF STEERING PROBLEM. TOYOTA WRITTEN ANSWER WAS THAT CAR WAS OVER WARRANTY PERIOD OF 36 MONTHS AND IT WAS NOW MY RESPONSIBILITY. I HAD THE RACK & PINION REPLACED IN NOVEMBER AND THEN RECEIVED A RECALL FROM TOYOTA ON DEC 2, L999 THAT SAID A LOOSE NUT ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE TIGHTED AND SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALER. THE SYSTEMS DESCRIBED BY TOYOTA WERE THE SYMPTONS ABOUT STEERING I COMPLAINED ABOUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER.
