| Description of the problem | Like many other 2006 rav4 owners, i have experience the so-called "clunking" noise with the steering column. This appear to be a know problem (design flaw) with this model, yet toyota fail to take full responsibility and initiative to correct the problem. Do we have to experience such catastrophic events as the "acceleration issue", before toyota decide to do something about it? |
