| Description of the problem | My complaint is about steering column noises, play, looseness and feedback through the steering wheel. It is described in a service bulletin: tsb-0034-13 i have 97,000 miles on the vehicle and the play is becoming more noticeable as mileage increases. It is very disappointing that toyota knew about this issue and issued the tsb before i purchased it new. How are owners supposed to be notified about these things while under warranty? |
