We noticed that the steering for the 2004 Toyota Sienna was beginning to get hard. Sometimes it felt like there was no power steeing, then it would become easier. I thought it was a lack of power steering fluid, but found out it was the intermediate steering shaft. The switching from hard-to-turn steering to regular power steering made driving difficult and unpredictable. Toyota issued two tsb's on this steering shaft component, and, I understood had recalled the same component in its prius model. Something should be done about this danger.
