2013 Toyota Tundra Steering Problems

“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? …”

“I was pulling into a parking spot when my power steering went out. I checked the fluid and the fluid level was low. I called Toyota customer care and they sent a tow truck to pick up my vehicle and deliver it to the nearest dealership. While loading the truck, a seal popped on the steering arm and fluid started leaking out. Springhill Toyota is not honoring my manufacture or extended warranty because I have added heavy duty coil springs to support my road armor bumper I installed for extra protection. …”

“While driving at 75 MPH on interstate 40 steering column completely fell on to lap, had to pick up steering column and try to keep truck under control at which time all dash lights came on . After getting truck stopped noticed that bolts used to hold steering column where not attached to column. Took pictures of steering column as proof , at this time put bolts into column and tighten bolts. Continued trip cruise control also inoperative now.”

“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.”
