Jim, a question about your steering clunk. Was $121 the entire cost of the repair of the steering box replacement? If not, what would that be?
 
I'm having the same problem with my 06 XLS. It gets worse as the outside temperature increases. I originally thought it was a strut mount issue, but the box may be the problem.
 
Thanks

I wish it didnt cost that much. Its really Low milage though. 4800. The previous Electricial Mech advised to buy New Harness for the car but it costs too much.
So really at a cross road.
Any help / advise wld help.

Is $2000, 4 years bumper to bumper warranty, a good one? Thanks by jerseybear

I just buy a 05 avalon limited (53K, full loaded) today from some Infiniti dealer in New Jersey. the dealer offers me a $2000, 4 years bumper to bumper warranty, with NO DEDUCTIBLE and NO MILEAGE LIMIT, because the 05 and up comes with a lot electrical stuffs. It would be very expensive for repair.
 
This is my first avalon, shall I take the offer or not? Thanks for your comments

I had my 06 for almost 3 years, no electrical problems. Warranty Direct should be cheaper, they give a bumper to bumper for around $1500, I believe that was the price they quoted me. My problem was getting them to define exactly what THEIR bumper to Bumper actually covered, read their website explanation, to me it was not explanatory enough. If you get an exact coverage from them please post it, I tried several others, this was recommended, good luck.

You can get that same extended warranty for less than ~$700, just go to a different dealer.

I paid about $2500.00 from my dealer for 7 year/100000 mile (which ever comes first) and if I don't ever use the warranty, they reimburse me my $2500.00.
 
Cheers

Would this steering column (noise) problem lead to the loss of control of the car, beside the annoying noise? what's the worst possible consequence?
 
How much It could cost to have it fixed permanently?

much better than the one offered by Infiniti dealer!
 
Is that toyota plaitnum extended program? It seems different Toyota dealers sell the package in quite different prices.

Could anyone just summarize the power steering noise issue? by jerseybear
Mar 17, 2009 (1:06 pm)
Reply
quite a few of people complain about the Steering Column (or Shaft) Noise, and some of them seem already have it for two years. I am wondering how much dangerous this Steering Column (or Shaft) Noise problem could be?
 
Would Steering Column (or Shaft) Noise jeopardize the driver? I mean is there any potential threat to the driver's life? like loss of the control of the car,.........
 
Otherwise, I would let it be, since My 05 avalon is out of warranty and the noise is not that much. So far, the steering operation is still smooth, except the clunk noise when making a turn in local.
