Description of the problem	At approx. 25000 miles,i started hearing a thumping noise while making right turns, i don't drive it that often, so i didn't think much about it, until it started happening more and more, i then had 31,000, i looked up the problem on the internet and seen it was the intermediate shaft and that it was a common problem with this make and year of the rav4, i took it to a toyota dealership and they said i needed the steering gear and lower intermediate shaft replaced , it would cost $2259. 00 plus tax for parts and labor. I refused the repair at that time, the vehicle was no longer under warranty . I called toyota customer service and they agreed to pay for only the part, because of the low mileage. I took it back to the dealership, they repaired that and while there they also said my water pump needed to be replaced, it was covered under a warranty they gave when i bought the rav4, this is another part the 2007 rav4 has had numerous complaints about. I paid over $1,000. 00 out of pocket for a vehicle with only 31,367, for parts that toyota knows are faulty, i am the only owner. I believe there should be a recall.
