Popping noise when turning the steering wheel. I have told the dealership several times about the problem while under the warranty and they said there is nothing to worry about. I took my car in for routine maintenance 5/15/03 and told them about the problem again. They called me and said there is a problem in the steering. They said the steering shaft column did not have any grease left and that it was dangerous to drive. The cost was $189. 00 to have it fixed. So I had it fixed. They said it is not covered under the warranty.
Steering- 2000 Cavalier Chevrolet. There is a loud popping noise when the steering wheel is turned to the left. Along with the popping, there is a vibration in the steering wheel during the turn to the left. The vibration has consistently been present since the vehicle was bought at 100 miles. The popping began soon after. The vibration was reported to the dealer before 36,000 mile and I was told it was nothing to be concerned with. After the 36,000 mile warranty, the popping began to occur more frequently and with greater volume and the vibration continued. The 96/98 Cavaliers are recalled for steering concerns that sound similar to the problems my 2000 is having, yet I have been told my specific vehicle does not qualify for the recall.
