1 Steering Column problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2008

There is a "clicking sound" in the steering column, especially when the car is in motion, and worse if turning the steering wheel while going over a bump. Feels as if something is loose in the steering system. Almost feels like a loose cv joint. This has been going on since I picked the car up from the dealer. The dealer tells me that this is a "characteristic of the vehicle". Problem has been persisting, and I showed this to another dealer, who told me that Toyota knows about the problem, and is working on it. Spoke with Toyota, who denied any knowledge, but offered a factory representative to meet with me and to test the car. Awaiting my appointment with Toyota factory representative.
