| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Steering wheel clunks during acceleration, braking, and rotating the steering wheel from side to side. vehicle was brought into the dealer for which they indicated that the "steering intermediate shaft" had failed and so they replaced it. while picking up the car, i had asked to examine the old shaft and noted corrosion and wear on one of the splines. the car only had 16,500 miles on it. if the splines were completely worn, the steering of the vehicle would be compromised. the dealer indicated that toyota had a fix to this already, but there is no recall. this should be a safety recall. *tr |
