| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 camry le which has developed a clunking noise in the steering shaft or column somewhere below the steering wheel. Toyota has a service number on it, but will no do anything unless this detect was reported before 36,000 miles. They require you to find their detect it early and if you find it later after 36,000 miles they say that's too bad you are too late. This is just wrong !! They know they have a problem, yet they hope you pass 36,000 miles so they don't have to fix their known defect. |
