Description of the problem	At around 20,000 miles, my 2007 toyota rav4 started making a clunking sound when i made right hand turns. I brought it in to the dealer but they said they could not reproduce the sound. Over time, the clunking grew louder and could be felt traveling up the steering shaft. I brought it in again just shy of the 36 month warranty limit and was told that once again the service technicians could not detect any sound/defect. However, when i brought my vehicle in for a safety recall on an oil hose, i mentioned the steering problem yet again and lo and behold, they could now detect it! However, my car was now past the 36 month comprehensive warranty coverage, so the repair would be out of pocket. The service technician pulled up the service bulletin t-sb-0318-08, dated 10-20-2008. It clearly describes the problem just as i had described it to the technician, and was posted almost a year before my second trip to the service department. I have not had the problem repaired yet, and now the clunk is heard and felt when turning left or right. I do not know what the ultimate outcome will be if i ignore the problem indefinitely. I do know that i am one of many 2006-2008 rav owners who have complained of this defect on the internet. Based on this number, toyota should be made to recall the defect.
