I just bought the car 2 weeks ago (3/17/14) and it has been driven for 500 miles without any incident. Last night I parked in my usual spot across the road from my house.

2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Power steering failed pulling away from house. Immediate failure with no warning signs. I think this would have been catastrophic on the highway with my wife driving. The vehicle is so hard to steer, I would hate to think what would have happened if my wife were driving anywhere. This vehicle has only 52,000 miles. I typically keep a vehicle until it has 250, 000 miles. I have never suffered a failure like this in the 32 years that I have been driving.
