Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: It appears that the common problem of rack and pinion failure has finally occurred on my vehicle. i contacted toyota and dealer and their response was that the part was out of warranty. i asked the question that if you knew a part was certainly going to fail after warranty and it cost roughly $1000 would you buy that vehicle? i think this should be investigate further and there should be a recall.*ak
