Steering is now more rigid, have heard occasional squeaking when backing out and my engine is now idiling harder. Key is harder to get in the ignition. would this repair interfere with the ECM, like cause a default?? I am sorry that I had this recall done, my car is not the same. I just had a new ECM installed last Feb. b/c of engine pinging and rough idling. I had the bracket replaced on my 2003 Avalon.
