2008 Toyota Sienna Steering Problems

“My 2008 Toyota Sienna suddenly slams on brakes when turning right. Used to be occasionally on mountain curves during last year, but now does it randomly at highway speeds on straight roads and is very dangerous! How do I get Toyota to fix this obvious design defect? Car has 230k miles.”
