Description of the problem	2007 toyota rav 4. Consumer writes in regards to expected recall concerning rear tie rods tgw the consumer stated sometime around june 2011, she began to hear a noise coming from the rear of the vehicle; sometimes from the left and sometimes from the right. Finally, in december 2011, the consumer took the vehicle to a repair shop and after test driving the vehicle, it was confirmed there was a noise, but the technician stated there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. In may 2012, the noise was still there, only periodically. On may 3, 2012, as the consumer was driving approximately 60 mph the noise became even louder. However, the next day while driving 40 mph, suddenly the vehicle went out of control, going back and forth across the road and doing a complete 360 degree turn.

On monday may 7, 2012, the dealer informed the consumer the left rear tie rod snapped and the right one was in a weakened condition and both would need to be replaced. jb
