2004 Highlander - steering failed on major shopping road today. Heard only a hissing sound in the engine compartment with a large plume of dark smoke out the tail pipe. Engine did not quit but was lucky to be able to pull wheel hard right to turn into parking lot. Ai/c stayed on, did not overheat, timing belt just changed, no leaking fluids but most of all no warning lights or check engine lite came on. Had problem last month with a/c which was fixed. What happens to someone driving at 65 on highway and loses ability to steer . . . Instant death to driver and perhaps many others. Been a Toyota fan for 30 years but this coupled with other major recalls seriously frightens me to get behind the wheel again. Car was towed to Toyota dealer who has maintained the car since 2004. Awaiting outcome of investigation. Posted 8-9-10.

2003 Toyota Highlander-limited (v6): power steering pump fluid lines corroding and leaking fluid; thereby causing failure of pwr-assisted steering at any speed. In Jan-Feb 2010, my Highlander exhibited significantly reduced steering ease at intermittent periods. Highest safety risk occurrences were at (1) hwy speeds, and (2) city traffic speeds when accident avoidance handling was required. A dealer in frederick, MD diagnosed the prob as thoroughly corroded pwr steering pump lines. They replaced the lines at my cost. The vehicle had only 56k miles on it.
