| Component | STEERING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When turning right the steering was making a clicking/knocking sound. I only have 30000 miles on the car, which i have had 100000 plus miles on cars and never had this issue. Apparently toyota has diagnosed this with a bad u-joint in the steering intermediate shaft with a hefty price tag to fix. This seems like a complaint from multiple people and on multiple sites. I think this should be looked into by toyota and considered a recall item. Very disappointed in my toyota right now. |
