Description of the problem	I have 2007 toyota rav 4. The steering start making knocking / popping sound whenever i turn right or left. I found tsb from the website which is t-sb-0318-08. This tsb is to replace steering shaft. 2006,2007,2008 rav 4 is fall into this tsb. The problem is toyota will do this tsb repair only the car is below 36k mile/36 month which is under manufacture warranty. If the car is out of warranty, consumer has to pay about $700. I don't understand why consumer has to pay for defective part replacement. If i don't replace the steering shaft, i don't know if it will be safe for keep driving or not. Toyota must recall the rav 4 to replace the steering shaft instead of tsb repair under the warranty. Steering is directly related with driver's safety.
