| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This is not a complaint or accident report but a report of facts that may benefit others. 2005 model toyota highlander, steering knocking/clunking. it can be detected by wiggling the steering wheel within 5 degrees. it is worse when the steering is loaded, e.g. when negotiating bends and minor curves. taken to a toyota dealer and they decided that whole steering wheel shaft assembly needs to be replaced. i am waiting for the parts to come in. i am reporting because this may not be an isolate case. the problem is not easily detectable by unsuspected drivers. yet it's a serious safety problem. *jb |
