| Description of the problem | Intermediate steering shaft popping; techs say the intermediate steering shaft is worn out. There is only 56,333 miles on this toyota rav4 2006. There has been others since at least 2010 that have been complaining about this problem. There is no reason why a car of this age and low mileage is having problems with the steering shaft. There needs to be a recall on this particular problem as this complaint has been sent to you before and even people have called you about it. Thank you, |
