Power Steering Fluid problems of the 2012 Toyota Tundra

I was driving and all the sudden my power steering went out. I was in traffic and almost was in an accident because of no power steering. I immediately pulled over and looked on the passenger side and power steering fluid was leaking out of my tie rod boot. I immediately got to my Toyota dealer and they automatically knew what it was, the rack and pinion blew out. So clearly it's a Toyota thing I figured. I was able to get it fixed by my insurance company but I started doing research on forums and many facebook groups devoted to Toyota Tundras and daily I see more and more people are having issues with their rack and pinion going out and days after my friend also had his go out on his Tundra. This seems to be a major problem Toyota has and it either needs to be recalled or fixed somehow so people can be safe and not almost get in an accident like I did. When Toyota even acknowledges it and refuses to not fix it, that throws the red flag right there and they clearly understand it's a problem. The fix amounted to $1937 dollars also.

Toyota Tundra power steering rack and pinion failure. While driving my truck the power steering rack and pinion failed. I heard a pop sound and pulled off the city road to inspect my vehicle. Upon doing so I noticed the steering was difficult to manipulate and upon inspection found power steering fluid actively leaking out of the front passenger side bellows boot. My vehicle had approximately 47,000 miles at this time.
