2006 Toyota Camry 4 le steering intermediate shaft noise, company sent technical service bulletin ST001-06 dated 02.16.2006 to dealers for replacement under warranty. Owner never made aware of this. I became aware of 'steering knocks' two months ago, while vehicle was still in warranty (under 36,000 miles). Told by dealers service 'adviser' that this was normal 'play'. now problem worse but replacement refused, because vehicle has 36,700 miles (one month and 700 miles over). Have safety concern if not fixed.

2006 Toyota Camry's steering wheel pulls to the left. ***** the steering wheel pulls while in curses. The consumer has to hold the steering wheel firmly to maintain control. The vehicle pulls while driving on bumpy roads and more frequently on the highway. Sometimes it also pulls while braking. The vehicle seem to always be parked at an angle, although the consumer pulls straight into parking spaces. The steering wheel seems stiff as if there is not enough power steering when making sharp turns. The consumer has also noticed a noise underneath the vehicle when turning into tight spots.
