| Description of the problem | I have been very disappointed with problems arise with the steering column this problem has been noticeable concerns for many customer who have owned rav 4 and toyota has done nothing to resolve or even letting the customers be aware of this problem. It starts off as a clunk sound when you turn right or left or when you are backing up, it started for around 32,000 but dealer could not find the problem until i pushed the issue. By that time it was just pasted the warranty (37000 miles). |
