| Description of the problem | Steering tsb by toyota: while driving vehicle and turning corners, i felt poping clunking noise in steering wheel. Sometimes made steering wheel vibrate. Instead of just a service bulletin, this should be a recall since toyota has re-designed the failing component. Took vehicle into dealer to have fixed. Would have paid full repair price but was able to negotiate a discounted price for vehicle with only 52,000 miles. Component should have easily lasted over 125,000 miles. May be the same as your 10075792 record. |
