What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota rav4. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle erroneously veered to the left and caused the contact to crash into a tree. Upon impact, the vehicle caught on fire. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact sustained injuries to the ribs. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage and VIN was not available.
When ever the steering wheel is turned to the left or right, it makes a clunking noise and a clunk can also be felt in the steering wheel at the same time. I have looked on line and this appears to be a very common problem with the toyota rav 4, on 6 or 4 cylinder models. When there is no steering input, there is no noise or clunking felt in the wheel at any speed, only when the steering wheel is turned in either direction.
