Power Train Driveline Problems of Toyota Sienna

2008 Toyota Sienna 3. 5 v6 has had piston slap since new. Toyota knows that there is a flaw in all of these engines but because there have been no failures and few complaints , they are choosing to do nothing about it. I like engines and I know that where there is noise there is excessive wear and potential future failure.

While making a sharp left turn, I can hear clunk, clunk from the steering column. Dealer says the steering column (rack-pinion) joint is bad, need replacement, not under warranty, will cost 500 to 600 $, not an immediate safety threat , can wait until the noise gets too bad. I am not happy that such things break down at 45,000 miles.
