| Description of the problem | 2006 toyota camry 4 le steering intermediate shaft noise, company sent technical service bulletin st001-06 dated 02. 16. 2006 to dealers for replacement under warranty. Owner never made aware of this. I became aware of 'steering knocks' two months ago, while vehicle was still in warranty (under 36,000 miles). Told by dealers service 'adviser' that this was normal 'play'. Now problem worse but replacement refused, because vehicle has 36,700 miles (one month and 700 miles over). Have safety concern if not fixed. |
