| Description of the problem | There is a loud "klunk" in steering in the turns. Toyota dealers does not care about this problem. There is a recommendation, but no recall. I feel unsafe and its sounds like defective to me - my toyota rav4 07 only 3 years old with 40000 miles. Does somebody have to die before they take care of this? I just want those big guys in japan know about this problem and fix it. I am waiting for toyota to take action. |
