Description of the problem	Like thousands of other toyota rav4 owners, i have experienced a "clunking" noise and loose feel to the steering system of my vehicle. Toyota dealership diagnosed as steering intermediate shaft assembly needs to be replaced. Toyota is unwilling to repair this item at their expense even though they acknowledge that it is a defect according to thier own bulletins. Toyota has issued service bulletin #t-sb-0319-08" to tell the toyota mechanics how to replace the defective steering shafts. Toyota should be made to issue a recall to repair this problem. This needs to be a mandated recall before people start getting injured due to steering failure! When contacting toyota representatives, they also refuse to tell consumers what governmental agency to contact to file a complaint. They are clearly trying to avoid paying for this known defect!!! *tt
