3 Steering Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2014

I have to drive the car to work everyday around 50 miles everyday. I have had all this work done the the car I have tried to get general motors to help with the problem which after all this work the car shakes and makes very loud noises on the steering wheel. I called a general motors helper last week who was supposed to get me some information and have not been contacted back yet. I have to have the car to go to and from work, is it going to take the car being wreaked and me and or another person on the freeway to be killed before anybody takes this problem seriously? this problem is all over the internet so I am not just trying to say it is just me. I have spent all money I had put back trying to get this car safe on the freeway, I bought the car from rodney cobb in eaton, ohio and was hoping general motors would take this seriously but I guess not so I am hoping and praying to get some help from the government. Please I need help and I cannot afford to pay anymore or get rid of the car. General motors and rodney cobb Chevrolet will not help me on my own I have tried, they expect me to pay money for a faulty car that I cannot afford, so I am asking you to please help. . . . Thank you.

Failure Date: 04/16/2013

When turning left or right it makes a clunking noise from the steering column.

5 Steering Noise problem

Failure Date: 04/19/2011

I purchased the car brand new in 2007. The front suspension started to make lots of clunking noises and rattling whenever I went over bumps in the road. It continued to get workse. Took the car into the chevy dealer and they said nothing was wrong with the car. Ive taken the car to a mechanic and he replaced l front control arm twice. The mechanic said the car should not be having those problems with the cars current mileage. I also have very dangerous sound in steering column evry time I turn the steering wheel. I have complained about this to dealership. Of course, they initially did not hear anything. I had my steering lock on me and couldnt get the key out, thus I had the car towed to the dealership in April 2011. They fixed the igntition switch. The noise in the steering column has only got worse since that time. December 16, 2o14, I took car in for the recall on the igntition. The dealer told me that the steering column was falling apart and wanted to charge me $1100. 00 to fix. They insisted that this has nothing to do with the ignitition switch. The car sounds like it is barely holding together like on squeaky hinges.

6 Steering Noise problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2009

At low speeds, the steering goes completely out and makes it impossible to stay on course. During the first time I experienced this problem, the steering started making an awful swishing noise. Now the steering makes this noise at all times but it gets worse when the steering goes out. How many people will be injured or even die before general motors fixes this problem?.
