It will continue to get louder and louder.
Is your Warranty From Toyota itself or a 3rd party?

 

I know! That's why I want to get it fixed. It was sold to me by the dealership, but it is a third party. They paid to have a door lock actuator fixed that was intermittently failing. Other than that, I haven't attempted to use it. It sounds like the dealer just has to verify that there is an issue, but I dunno.

 

yeah no clue..
I sure as heck would pretend like they should fix it and hope for the best.
I got mine fixed under Toyota extended warranty so I know Toyota covers the repair.. But no clue on a 3rd party...

 

Heh. That's exactly what I intend to do. Like I said, I'm just waiting a bit so it will get even more obnoxious and then I'll take it in.

 

My 13 HL with 85k miles started to knock, the 3rd party service contract covered it without question.

 

That's GREAT to hear--thanks!

 

I have the Toyota extended warranty and am bringing my 2013 HL in tomorrow morning for what I think this may be my problem. Can someone elaborate on if this is a noise, feel, or both in the steering wheel? I’ve noticed a feel when I turn the wheel or go up the curb on my driveway. I printed the TSB for the dealer but wondered if this is what I’ve been experiencing.

Thanks!

 

For me it was a "pop"/thud when turning into a parking lot at low speeds.

 

That's prolly not the issue then....

 

Please report back if you don't mind--thanks!

 

As an update, the dealership confirmed it was the intermediate shaft, replaced it, and was covered under the extended warranty. I also had the front and rear brake pads changed, fuel system flush, and front end alignment. The dealership loved me...

Anyway, the feeling I had in the steering wheel is now gone, so all seems good.

 

Yeah, they love you when you opt for additional chargeable services you don't really need.
