I purchased my Lexus approximately 1 1/2 years ago from a private owner. It had about 175000 miles on it. The high miles did not concern me as Toyota has a good reputation for it's high mileage cars. This morning, while driving to work on a multi-lane city street, I was making a left had turn and suddenly, without any warning at all, I had no power steering. After some research I've discovered that this has been a problem with the car.
