Description of the problem	The steering shaft has a clunk noise and a clunk or shift can be felt in the steering wheel. Internet research reveals that this is an ongoing problem in 2006 and subsequent rav4 autos. It was originally felt at about 40,000 miles and internet research reveals that this may even occur at less mileage. Internet research reveals that this is an ongoing common problem in rav4s that has not been corrected by toyota. If this is a problem, why has toyota not been required to fix the problem for free and why are they permitted to continue to sell cars with the problem?? My dealer accepted responsibility for 50% of the charge. Total bill for my 50% was $173. 72 i read on internet that as much as $800 was charged for the repair.
