Steering: clunk felt/noise heard from my steering column. Steering gear and or front of the vehicle during braking/going up and down a driveway movement of my steering wheel rotation. My mother is a senior citizen and this will be the second time she will have to get her car fixed for this. Once two years again and now. General motors chevy should have a recall for this. Why does the owner have to pay. . This should be recalled. Steering shaft bar I do not remember what the dealer said. . He said it will cost $100 this time to be fixed. My mother is on a low income she cannot be replacing and getting this fixed every two years. Thanks you regina clay.
I purchased the 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo new. After about 18 months the steering column had a rattling or clunking noise. I took it back to the dealer and he immediately knew what the problem was and replaced the "intermediate steering shaft" . That solved the problem. Now at 45,000 miles the same problem is occuring again and the vehicle is out of warrantee. Is this not a defect in the manufacturing of the vehicle? it is rarely driven except on trips. Other people apparently experience the same problems.
I bought my 2000 chev Monte Carlo new in Jan 2000. At approx 20000 miles I took it into the dealer because of 'rattling & clunking" noise in steering column. The dealer determined that it was the 'intermediate shaft" - it was fixed/replaced by the dealer at that time. At 37k miles - the same problem. Again, the dealer replaced the intermediate shaft. Now, at 77k miles - the same problem again. This time the dealer and gm will not pay for or cover the repair. While everyone admits that this is unusual - they say "it is out of warranty". I believe that a failure of this part is a significant safety issue and should be investigated. According to a source at the dealer - the failure of this part is a common complaint, however, replacing this unit 3 times is not a common occurence. Your file odi id # 10037817 make reference to the same issue as mine. I greatly appreciate your looking at this. Thanks.
