Problems with 2006 Toyota RAV4 STEERING

Vehicle did have an official recall(steering shaft assembly) vehicle was repaired 2x's. vehicle is experiencing same problem. steering gets tight and knocks. sent letter to toyota in california created case #[xxx] dealer refuses to repair *tt consumer stated there are 2 odi numbers #352270 and #1182873. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *ln*jb

Steering froze up while leaving my driveway and p/s light came on. shut engine off and back on, but did not resolve. i recall at least one other time that steering locked up temporarily while at a stop. took to dealership for diagnostic as manual recommends. diagnostic shows dtcs u0105 and u0121. found tab st005-06 related to this issue and "updated power steering ecu available". diagnostic $150, parts and labor $1600+ cleary this is a safety issue requiring a recall. please investigate there are many more similar complaints.

Steering 'clunks' and car won't turn at low speeds/stationary, radio momentarily cuts out and dash lights flash. can turn the steering wheel further after a few seconds. happens intermittently, so far only at low speeds/while parking or leaving a parking space.

To whom it may concern, while driving on highway today the car did not stall but all the dash lights came on and there was a complete loss of power steering. luckily i was in the right land and on a straight roads i glided to the shoulder and stopped. i could not start the car so i jumped started the car and proceeded to get off next exit and problem happened again!!!! i read about issues with the electronic steering on toyota vehicles. i am checking the charging system and battery but want to find out if there is a recall. there were other people with this issue while searching the internet. i understand that batteries and alternators do go bad but loss of steering while moving could have resulted in a serious accident had i been in a curve in the road. i had previous cargo in the car too.....my 22 month old granddaughter!!! please advise if this is a known problem. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act ...

Steering pops whenever i make a turn.

The electric power steering went out while my daughter was driving the vehicle. she could not turn the steering wheel. luckily she did not have an accident. the electric power steering was replaced by milton ruben toyota at the cost of $1134.00.

At interstate speeds and sometimes quick acceleration all the lights come on the dash and you lose all steering , it locks up this has happened several times , to my seventeen year old daughter she was lucky there was not a corner when it happened she would've shot straight off the road . there needs to be a recall on this i have looked it up and there has been several complaints of this same issue on the rav4s and several other toyota's. if i knew this issue was a problem i would not of purchased this car for my daughter.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 toyota rav4. the contact heard an abnormal loud noise progressing from the area of the steering wheel while the vehicle was in motion, reversing, or making a turn. the dealer test drove the vehicle, but was unable to replicate the failure. further diagnostic testing was required. an independent mechanic also inspected the vehicle, but provided no specific diagnosis to determine the cause of the failure. the contact was uncertain if the vehicle would be repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was not available.
