Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2004 toyota camry with only 19,993 miles on it. the steering intermediate shaft was defective. refer to technical service bulletin st001-06. i heard clanking and popping sounds coming from the steering shaft. the steering felt loose and sloppy. after reading the technical service bulletin i believed toyota discovered the faulty part in production and eventually changed to a new part. i was disappointed toyota charged me for labor to fix a part that was defective from the beginning. toyota should have recalled the part and replaced it for free.*ak
