I recently took my 2012 Toyota Camry se in for the repair on my sway bars and I heard a rattling noise in/near my steering wheel/column. I then took it back to the dealer to have the lower steering shaft replace but the rattling noise was there and was getting worse. I took my car to another certified mechanic for a second opinion and he said that the power steering electrical component system would need to be replaced. And that I would need to take it to the dealer. I fear for my life and get overly anxious when I drive because once you get to at least 30 mph it sounds like the steering wheel is going to come. I called the dealership and they said for me to bring it back in but they have tried to diagnosis three times. This is my only means of transportation. I also had the front driver and passenger strut and shock, and mount assembly repaired.

When driving very slowly, there is a clicking or rattling sound when turning the wheel. The car has 55,000 miles on it. The dealer diagnosed the cause as a warn "intermediate shaft. " they are replacing it at a cost of $550, parts and labor. The dealer said that in time this would be a safety issue. I have been driving since 1956. This is the first time this part has failed out of 16 cars we have owned. All have had many more miles on them this Toyota. In my opinion, this is a manufacturing defect. It should be subject to recall and free repair.
