What owners report

  • My 2006 highlander drove just fine. Parked in my usual spot and the next time I start it my p/s light is on and I have no steering. I searched online and it seems to be a common problem for it to just quit working on people. I'm curious as to why this issue hasn't been addressed by toyota yet…

  • Steering does not steer correctly sometimes when I drive. Dealer says that they want $2000 to fix it by replacing the steering mechanism. I have noticed it sometimes when I am moving.
