| Description of the problem | I have had an on going issue with my 2006 rav 4 and a "clunking" noise while steering. We had this repaired once when we purchased the car in 2006. But the exact same feel and noise has returned. The steering wheel clicks when you turn left or right, and you can feel the "clicking" in the steering wheel and with your feet in the car. After doing basic research online, it seems that this specific model of rav 4 has not only had many recalls, but this steering issue is widespread. Thanks! *js |
