Just purchased a 2009 venza and there is a rattle in steering column when hitting small pumps or cracks in road or turning. No pics because it seems to be a internal issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota venza. While driving 60 MPH, the steering wheel independently veered to the left or right without warning. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a tire mechanic on the assumption that the vehicle had experienced a tire failure. The technician replaced the tires and performed an alignment, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the vehicle needed an alignment. The vehicle was repaired; however, the steering wheel began to veer to the right while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they performed a calibration update, rotated the tires, and test drove the vehicle. The failure persisted and the dealer was unable to locate the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000. Updated 01/14/15

I just bought a toyota venza 2009 fwd, next day after came off the dealer, I heard a clicking noise behind the air bag on the driver side by the steering column. I just came back to the dealer and they told me, there is a tsb report for this kind of vehicles, here is the tsb # 0005-11, is a common issue but is just an "annoying" noise and is not any risk involved......, who knows?, looks like toyota know very well about this issue but they didn't make any recall yet. Just a bulletin. Is a failing piece in the steering column. How is possible the dealer know something like that and they did not make any recall???. Fix it can be around 2000 dollars.....ridiculous.
