| Description of the problem | i notice a clunking noise when i would turn the wheels to the right and left going at a low speed. I looked on google search about clunking noise in steering . There was a lot of toyota rav 4 owners had the same problem. I took my car to my toyota dealer he said it was a common problem with rav 4's . I called toyota complaint line and they told men a service bulletin was out on the problem but i was out of warranty and they would not help me. I know from being an auto mechanic that when you have loose play in the steering that it will develop into a danger driving my car. Please require toyota to have a safety recall on the steering . Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) *js |
