| Description of the problem | Poping clunking noise while driving turning left or right. Had mechanic checked it and notified toyota via email to no avail . Then this year had the car sticker inspection done was informed about the clicking sounds. Now i start to get worry is this particular issue has an impact on my life while driving the car. Checked the internet and found similar issue with owner's complaint about intermediate steering shaft. Hopefully toyota will do a recall to rectify the problem and safeguard the public safety. |
