Description of the problem	My steering wheel on vin#(xxxx) feels clunky when i turn corners. It scares me, like it feels like a ghost is jacking it abruptly into the turn it does not happen all the time. I went to this site to check up on problems, and recalls. Put my vin # in and lo and behold, people have experienced this same thing and found that the whole steering column became loose and had to be changed out! This ought to be a recall. I'm scared. To check up on the site i used go here: https://driving-tests. Org/vin-decoder/ put my vin in and you'll see 1/3 way down the page "most recent complaints" there you will read what is happening to my suv. I bought the car used from a toyota dealership and the warranty is not going to be used on this because they don't know of any recall. Do i wait until my steering column becomes loosened? This has been happening intermittently from summer til present time.
