As I was driving, all the sudden I had a difficult time to make turns. I noticed that the P/S light is on. I have done some researches on the internet and I found out that several Toyota & Lexus vehicles have been recalled for power steering and emc failure problem. So when I contacted the dealer, they told me all the recall on my vehicle has been done and there is no emc failure recall at this moment. But there was a emc recall on the previous year model. I assume that they might be using the same parts on my car and that should be recalled as well.
