Description of the problem	Tsb st001-08 steering gear box shaft . I have a severe clunking noise on my 2007 toyota rav4. The noise appears whenever i move the steering wheel even a little bit and continues indefinitely. I have had this noise for almost one year and it is getting worse. According to other rav4 owners, toyota knows about this problem, but they refuse to repair it without charging the owners. The vehicle was under warranty when the noise started and now it is no longer under warranty and is no longer covered (the vehicle was purchased 3 years ago and has less than 30,000 miles on it). When i took the car into the local toyota dealership on june 1, 2010 for an annual inspection, the car was still under warranty and the mileage was only 26496 (i purchased it on june 16, 2007). I mentioned to the dealership that there was a clunking noise in the steering, but there was no mention of any problems. I am unable to pay for any repairs on this vehicle, and do not feel like i should have to because it was faulty while under warranty, and toyota knows about it but refuses to repair it (it is a huge problem, one that affects 2006 and 2007 toyota rav4 vehicles).
