: the contact stated while pulling out of the driveway on normal road conditions at 5 mph, the steering column locked and could not be pulled to turn. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who were currently examining the vehicle. No repairs were made.
: the contact stated while driving 60 mph while applying brake pressure the steering column made a grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection. They determined the steering column needed to be lubricated or replaced however no repairs were made. The manufacturer was not alerted.
Intermediate steering shaft knocking on applying the brakes, accelerating and making a turn.
There is a clunking sound in the steering system when turning. I can feel some vibration in the steering wheel.
While driving on the highway, there was a loud knocking noise, which was coming from underneath the steering column due to lack of lubrication of the steering bushing shaft. The dealer was aware of the problem. The first time this occurred the vehicle was under warranty at 31k miles. The consumer was told that it was due to an undersized shaft. (the clunking noise had gone away) the problem returned when the vehicle was out of warranty so the consumer had to pay out of pocket. The problem returned 28k miles later.
Clunk noise from front of vehicle during driving, also can feel it in steering wheel. Dealer fixed it in sept 2003, said there was a service bulletin,but would just grease the steering wheel first to see if it will fix it. It did but now it is back, and of course not in warranty.
I have a 2000 Impala VIN# 2g1wf52e7y9204139. I have been hearing a noise from the steering column and everytime I push the gas the steering wheel turns to the left. It is not my alignment because I had gotten it realigned and I can feel it when I brake as well. It is hard to turn the steering wheel because of this problem. Also my low tire pressure light will not go off even when it is programmed to go off manually it still stays on. I was told I need a new ebcsm. I just bought this car and am still paying on it. I heard others with the same model and yr have the same troubles with the steering.
The contact heard a cracking sound coming from steering column. He has not taken the vehicle to a service dealer to be checked. The sound would be more evident if the wheel was turning. He has not contacted the manufacturer. The noise has been heard for the past couple of years.
Consumer states each time she drives her auto she hears a knocking noise. Consumer took auto to the dealer three times, twice she was told that they could not duplicate the noise, and could find nothing wrong with the auto. The third time they heard the knocking and was told that it was her steering shaft. She states that this noise starts while she is turning her auto right or left, or even parking.
Clunks, thunks and pops felt through steering column while accelerating or decelerating. Most noticeable at low speeds. I'm in germany (army) with the car. We use aafes. They could not diagnose problem, though they did confirm its existence in Mar '03. German mechanic diagnosed lower ball joint on right side. Aafes replace lower ball joints on both sides. That fixed the ball joints which had gone bad at 37,000 miles (out of warranty). Still feel clunks, thunks, and pops through steering column. Suspect intermediate steering shaft lubrication problem. Will take to opel for inspection.
