After two years of trying to get someone to listen, the noise is now unmistakable, as it clunks with the least effort. The dealer say it was my choice to "fix it" or "live with it" as it is not a safety concern. I have an extended warranty, but it does not cover the intermediate shaft. I called Toyota customer service, and was told they never heard of any problems with the RAV4 intermediate shaft....my response "try Goggling RAV4 intermediate shaft." I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years, never again will I buy Toyota...the consumer confidence is now gone by the constant Toyota denials over problems related to their vehicles.
