2007 Toyota RAV4 Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	945543
Internal NHTSA #	10479731
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	RAV4
Model Year	2007
File date	01/10/12
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At any speed, an audible "clunk" is present when steering wheel is turned right or left. Furthermore, one can feel a vibration in the steering wheel that exactly matches the "clunk" sound. During low speeds after starting the vehicle the noise and vibration is prominent any time the steering wheel is turned. At higher speeds, the sound is less pronounced, but a vibration and feeling of "looseness" in the steering is prominent. Since this vehicle is used as a family car with young children (and a pregnant woman) present, this noise/vibration combination is disturbing as we fear steering failure. I am not sure if this problem is related to toyota's technical service bulletin st001-08 which matches the description of my problem. However, it is apparent that toyota issued this tsb as a result of customer complaints and developed a procedure and replacement parts to cure such a problem.
