Intermittent loss of power steering while driving. The problem with this 5 year old vehicle with 75,000 miles is similar to what happened with older model year siennas: a power steering fluid leak develops that ultimately requires a complete replacement of the power steering rack. Toyota refuses to pay for repair or replacement of an obviously defective design/part.

Went to dealership for an alignment, car drifted to the left. They told me the steering shaft was very worn and had to be replaced. Had to install a new steering intermediate shaft and shaft assembly. This was covered under my extended warranty, but there is no way a steering shaft should be worn out at 30000 miles! There has to be a defect in the steering shaft. Lucky, I had the alignment done before my planned 700 mile trip.
