Power Steering Pump problems of the 2004 Lexus RX330

As of 3/18/2016 I purchased an new radiator for a total of $945 at mcgrath Lexus dealership in chicago on division st because the old radiator was leaking. As of 3/31/2017 the new radiator is now leaking and the car would not start because the car was over heating. As of 4/1/2017 the timing belt and water pump for the steering will needs to be replaced. Today 4/1/2017 mcgrath Lexus dealer stated I will cost at least $1200 with labor included for them to repair. After further research on recalls for my 2004 Lexus Rx330 I discovered these required repairs are Lexus deaker recalls. Why would mcgrath Lexus charge me if these are recalls on my Lexus.

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Lexus Rx330. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, a loud abnormal noise emitted from the engine as the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on two separate occasions and power steering fluid was dispensed into the reservoir however, the failure persisted. The mechanic informed that the power steering pump and power steering rack would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 147,000. Js.

My steering started getting stiff and making a grinding sound without warning. It would then disappear after driving for about 5 minutes. I noticed this seems to be a common problem with the vehicle at the 90,000 mark. I bought a Lexus because I thought the vehicle would be solid but it seems like everything is starting to go. I had to replace the sunroof, air conditioning pump, radiator and transmission after hitting 80,000. I don't want to put any more $$$ into the car at this point because it doesn't seem worth. One problem after the next.
