I am the original owner of this car. Its been well maintained. Oil changes every 3,000 miles, Regular inspections when I lived in PA. Originally replaced the power steering in October, 2014. I had 47,000 miles at the time. Now I have 68,500 and lately when I have been turning the wheel it has been making a very odd squeak. Since I am going to head north in about two more weeks I wanted to have the car inspected before I left. I was hoping it was oil change, rotate tires, top off fluids, and now I get to replace this part again. Total $1265, I just feel Toyota no longer makes a quality product, I expected to have this car for 10 years without any huge expenses like this. I am really frustrated.

With Toyota's reputation for reliability, I was surprised (not pleasantly) to learn during a safety inspection at my Toyota dealer that I must shell out $2,600 to replace the power steering rack. My Camry has only 62,000 miles; mostly on the freeway. When I was led into the garage to view the leaky rack, I found the mechanic in the next bay hard at work replacing the power steering rack on another Toyota. Is there an epidemic?
