“The steering wheel locked up while coming off the highway. I had to pull over to side of the road and eventually have the car towed. The steering wheel is still locked this day. I can't turn it left or right. I could have gotten into a accident with the sudden lost of power steering to my vehicle”

“Hello everyone -- I have 06 Lexus gs300. I had a rebuilt transmission, new valve six solenoids. Because I had harsh on the 2 to 1 downshift. That didn't fixed the problem, and they told me about the ecu the new computer will cost me $1550 on top of the $2200 I had to pay for the transmission and labor too. Their should be a recall notice. How can we alert Lexus of this problem and shift the cost to them for their repairs?”
