2005 Toyota HIGHLANDER Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I noticed a clunking noise and odd vibration in the steering wheel when traveling at a slow speed especially when turning corners or on a bumpy road. I do believe that if the steering intermediate shaft is not replaced, it could easily cause unnecessary accidents due to loss of steering. Toyota has issued 2 tsb concerning this problem, however they should be forced to have this part replaced. I was able to have mine replaced under warranty, but i'm really writing for all of those owners who might be driving with this problem, because they don't have the money to have it replaced.
