2010 Toyota Venza Steering Problems

You hear a rattling noise coming from the steering column when you turn the wheel, especially on bumpy roads. Additionally, your driver's seat produces a burning smell when you use the seat heater. The issue likely involves loose components in the steering column and a potential problem with the seat heater element or wiring.
