File date	26/11/10
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I recently replace both intermediate steering wheel shaft in my 2007 toyota rav4 due to excessive clicking noise and disturbing feedback on steering wheel. Car has 49k miles on it, notice the issue around 45k miles but unfortunately a local mechanic misdiagnoised the problem as a tie rod issue. As the noise and steering wheel feedback became more serious, i went to dealer for evaluation. Given the dangers around loss of steering wheel and potential for serious crash, i believe this wear and team on the steering shaft is way to premature at this age. I have never had steering wheel defect in over 8 cars i have owned in the past 30 years especially given that the car is not even 4 years old. Part replaced included both steering wheel shaft and assembly at toyota dealer with new part.
