Description of the problem	Within approximately 2 years of the purchase of our new 2007 toyota rav4 we noticed a "clunking" sound and feel in the steering at slow speed. The problem was reported to the dealer, gettle toyota of bradenton, florida, and was repaired under warranty. They referred to the parts replaced as intermediate steering shaft/ steering shaft assy. (the service writer seemed to know exactly what the problem was). The same apparent problem appeared again in approximately june of 2013 and is worse now in january 2014. It has become quite annoying and now both my wife and i wonder if this will become a safety concern, i. E. Leading to a steering failure. Our original decision to buy the rav4 was primarily based on a very high safety rating after we were involved in a serious injury crash which destroyed our previous vehicle. We are becoming more and more disappointed with toyota quality in general as our rav4 approaches only 75,000 miles. I would request the recall of this vehicle for manufacturer-sponsored repairs to follow the already historical tsb of 2008 for this same problem in '06 and '07 rav4s. Thank you for your attention.
