2 Steering Rack And Pinion problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2003

Noticed a knocking sound in the steering column at a very low mileage (25000?) and inquired of the dealer. Told they could find nothing wrong. . Had it checked by an aftermarket repair shop at about 40,000 and was told they couldn't find the problem but that chevy's were having a real bad problem with their steering columns. . Vehicle now has 56,000 and am now told by chevy dealer I need to replace entire steering column and rack and pinion at my expense. Dealer mentioned this is very common problem but didn't know of any recalls yet. Cost estimate is $1000. 00.
