Resistance is felt at intervals when turning the steering wheel. Steering feels loose, unresponsive and dangerous. Dealer recommended replacing intermediate steering shaft. Online research showed this is a common problem and an upgraded part exists to remedy the problem. Contacted Toyota customer service. Had complaint escalated to Toyota corporate regional manager. Was only offered 15% off repair at dealer. I believe this is a safety issue created by a defective part. Thank you.

Steering feels loose and rattles over bumps. Toyota said no credit for outside of warranty. Cost to repair with redesigned parts is $1,900. Vehicle has been exceptionally maintained and should not have any steering problems. I am original owner and have all service records. Toyota said this is not a safety problem but the loose steering feeling does not inspire confidence. Toyota said I could continue driving with the problems and that it would only be an annoyance. This is a product defect. Toyota has redesigned the replacement parts for the intermediate steering shaft. This is evidence the original design was defective.
