Description of the problem	I had a clunking noise whenever i turned the steering wheel left or right at slow speeds. I checked on line and found this site which noted fault to be the intermediate steering shaft, as the issue. I took my vehicle into a toyota dealership for repair. They confirmed that this was the issue and because it is not considered a safety issue, no recall has been issued. Toyota would not cover any of the cost which was $684. It started when i had 80,000 miles on the vehicle and i took it in for repair at 94,000 miles when noice became louder.. Disappointed toyota did not help with the repair cost.
