| Description of the problem | We had the toyota dealer check a noise in the steering on a 2006 toyota rav4. They diagnosed the noise as noise from the steering shaft. Since the vehicle was out of toyota warranty, tsb st001-08, they refused to fix the issue. We contacted the extended warranty service and they also refused to repair the issue. The extended warranty service indicated that the part would have to physically break before it could be fixed. Researching the issue indicates that there have been no accidents or injuries yet due to the defect. When an issue indicates a possible failure we like to have it repaired before damage occurs.*ln |
