3 Steering problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2017

I took my 2013 Toyota Tundra in for a routine 55,000 mile service and they informed me that the steering rack is filling with fluid and I could have it sieze up on me while driving. I purchased all warranties good until 2020 but they feel this design flaw should be covered by me the consumer. I was quoted $3000. 00+ for the repair. I bought this truck after putting 100,000+ on 2006 Tundra with nothing close to this is repairs. What is going on? the steering can sieze up, and this isn't a recall? why would I buy another Toyota? how do they justify letting this level of a safety issue to just drive out of the dealership and say it's your problem?.

5 Steering problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2013

Between 1600 and 2000 rpm steering wheel resonates enough to be distracting.

6 Steering problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2011

Bad vibration in steering wheel and gas pedal at 1600-1900 rpm range. Doesn't matter the speed. Vibration is worse when vehicle is under load or towing . Both hands and right foot fall asleep from vibration on long continuous trips , I've contacted Toyota twice and had to dealer twice . Dealer says this is normal characteristic of truck . Toyota denies any other complaints . There is nothing normal about this vibration as hands and foot are affected by the vibration to the point of going numb , there are many many complaints of this on many Toyota forums.
