My 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS had a problem. I was trying to go to my office in the morning and the steering wheel was very tight & hard to turn. There was no accident or road potholes involved in this case. When I took the car to the Toyota dealership in erie, Pennsylvania, the Toyota manager told me that the intermediate steering shaft is bound up/twisted. It is very shocking to me that such a reputable Toyota car had this life-threatening problem. If I was on the highway, I would not have been able to turn my vehicle and would have went off the road.
