| Description of the problem | Toyota, 2006 rav4 ... Loose steering arms. Causing clunking noises while turning at low speed. Don't know if this gets bad enough to fall apart while driving? Toyota has a tsb out on this. Many many complaints on this topic online. Toyota wants $800. To fix this problem. I think they should do a recall on these cars. Also vehicle has a 2 to 3 second hesitation if trying to accelerate during a lane change or something similar. This is a safety issue. My car does this also .. And numerous complains with this issue on line. Should be a recall for this. Toyota won't acknowledge there is a problem with this. |
