Hi, my story:
I've bought Kluger 2012 2 months ago (in Dec 2016) second hand.
From the very beginning of my ownership it has had the knocking sound in the steering mechanism. I have still bought it as ALL FOUR Klugers (!) I had test driven had this problem :(( All 4 of them :(
The problem was immediately recognised by Toyota authorised technician but I was asked to pay $750 to replace the intermediate steering shaft by Authorised dealership in Gold Coast, near Harbour Town mall.
Do I have a chance to get it fixed for free? Any recent cases of such free fixes in Gold Coast? is it a permanent fix or still temporary?
Shall we all celebrate and drink champagne to mark 12 year old Toyota permanence and stability in quality? As I understand the problem is 12 years old now and is still around.
PS In addition, after every rain I get the driver door leaks. Is it harmful to have water inside the door after every rain, or it will not affect anything? like sound system, etc?
PPS What car would you recommend to buy for my son, if not Toyota? Nissan Patrol/Pathfinder or Mitsubishi Pajero/Challenger? I'm sort of tired of car problems. What would you buy?
