Description of the problem	At the end of 2008 i took my 06" rav4 in for it's pre-paid maintenance and told the service attendant that my steering wheel was making a strange noise when i was turning. I said maybe it just needs steering fluid. He got in and turned the wheel a couple of times and said he felt it would be fine. I mentioned the noise at each of the following appts. And was told basically the same thing. Well now my car is out of warranty and they now know that it is the problem referred to as service bulletin dated 10-20-2008. They estimated the repair would cost $1,001. 00 at my expense. I feel they put of the diagnosis until after my warranty ran out intentionally so toyota would not have to fix it. This should be a recall asap before innocent people are killed.
