| Description of the problem | 2007 rav 4sport has clunking sound when turning. Noticed it around 30,000 miles, & is one of the maintenance items the dealer is supposed to check every 5000 mile service which i have done since the vehicle was new. (inspect steering linkage and boots). My vehicle now has 46,000 miles on it, & i had asked the dealer if there was a problem , & he acted like he had not ever heard of a clunking noise in the steering, but came up with a $590. 00 repair price & told me it was unsafe. He would not cover the defect because it was only covered until 36,000 miles. I came home & got on the internet, & there are similar complaints everywhere. Please help? |
