| Description of the problem | I bought a used 2006 rav4 3. 5 l v-6, after a month a bought it. I noticed when i turn left or right i heard a clunk sound. I found out that the intermediate steering shaft is the problem. This common to most rav4, dealership it's normal but to me it doesn't fell normal when i'm driving, it feels like something is will come out or broke off. Kind of scary thing to feel when driving. I think the manufacturer should find a solution to this problem before someone could hurt or die. |
