| Description of the problem | I heard a loud popping sound in my steering each time i turn. I went to the dealership and i was just told i needed to get it repaired. I have been researching online and noticed that several owners are experiencing the same problems. I have no information regarding safety but feel that since it appears to be a widespread problem toyota needs to have a recall and have this issue addressed. We should not wait until tragedy happens before action is taken. |
