Description of the problem	2007 toyota rav4 has distinctive clunking, clacking and banging sounds while turning the steering wheel. Noticed it at 37,204 miles, right after warranty expired. Has tsb on this problem which reveals intermediate steering shaft defect and new version available for fix. Web check also reveals epidemic exists for this problem. Took vehicle to dealer to confirm problems which they did. Called toyota but they will do or pay nothing since vehicle is past warranty. What does warranty have to do with this? This is a defective part which needs to be recalled and replaced. I am very angry at toyota and it's stance concerning this problem. A mandatory recall needs to be enacted.
