Description of the problem	From a stop with a turn in either direction on any service in any weather, an audible noise and jolting vibration telegraphs through the steering wheel. Feels like a loose part that may separate in the steering assembly and render the vehicle uncontrollable. First raised with momentum/ fowler toyota of tulsa 6/14/14 with refusal to repair as a warranty claim @ 41430 miles (dealer would not note in service check-in but promised to inspect). Raised again with jim norton toyota that would not inspect without the payment of a $100 inspection fee @ 60459 miles.
