My 2002 Prius with 16,000 miles started having a shutter in the steering during low speed maneuvers. This went away after everything warmed up. I did not want to call my dealer yet because this has only happened twice. I would like to get as much info as possible before I talk with my dealer. Thanks!!!!
go to the dealer and log a complaint, there is a TSB on steering rack shudder and Toyota has announced that the racks will be change out. There is a time limit on this so go do it. You've paid for the car to be right no sense in not gettting it fixed free of charge.
