Steering Column Problems of Chevrolet Monte Carlo

I was driving down century boulevard my speed was approximately about 35 r 37 miles an hour,the speed limitis a 35 miles hour zone. When all of a sudden all the traffic suddenly stopped real fast, it was about three to four in front of me. So I try to brake thats when my steering wheel got hard to where I couldn't turn away in time so I can avoid a crush. In a result I hit a lady car from behind on her left side bumper and to my right side bumper. There where no injuries,no police report was file. We had just exchange information and insurance information. Before this had took place my I could not turn off my ignition having problems with my power steering and if I break too hardmy steering columns with jurr or stiffen up making real difficult for me to turn.

After complaining for 5 years to a dealer and car manufacturer about a clanking noise in the steering column, I brought the car to a private mechanic, who determined the car was dangerous, and the manufacturers knew there was a steering column defect in a lot of their cars, so they were quietly fixing the problem, but only when customers complained. I called the manufacturer and brought the car to a dealer again, and they said there was little or no defect. However, when I told them what my mechanic said they agreed there was a problem and the car was dangerous, steering could fail at any moment. Then, they agreed to fix the problem at a large cost to myself. According to my private mechanic and various on-line resources this was a wide scale problem , and the manufacturers were trying to avoid negative publicity. In the process, they were putting the public at risk. There was a technical service bulletin that informed the mechanics how to fix this problem. However, I have chatted with various car owners online, who had this fix, and they said the problem still existed. .

Clunking noise from the steering column. Service writer took the info & an hour later informed me that problem was fixed and I owed $108. 00!!!! no communication, no estimate, no nothing but this charge, even though I have an extended warranty and gm knows about this problem. Said they lubed a neoprene seal on the intermediate shaft of the steering column.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact noticed that the steering column was extremely loose and he heard a grinding metal noise. He took the vehicle to a dealer on two occasions and they replaced and lubricated the steering shaft twice. One year later, the failure recurred with the steering shaft. The contact is in the process of having an identical repair made to the vehicle. The manufacturer did not assist. The failure mileage was 37,902 and current mileage was 49,000.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Intermittently while turning the steering column when driving she hears a clinging noise. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on two separate occasions for the identical failures, and the steering shaft was replaced. The repairs did not remedy the failure. The vehicle identification number was excluded from recall campaign id numbers 08e063000 and 09e005000 (steering). The failure mileage was 47,000. The current mileage was 67,000.

2002 chev Monte Carlo ss experienced "popping" in steering wheel at 21,862 miles and again at 45,299 miles. Both times dealer invoice insinuated that steering shaft was replaced. At 84,000 miles this happened again. Took back to dealer who told me that in fact they followed the gm service bulletins at the time and only lubed the steering shaft. A service bulletin from 8/1/04 said to replace, but this was after the second incident and no one called to let me know (and of course I was under the impression that the replacement had already occurred. ) the steering wheel felt very loose and unstable and I feel if left unchecked could have resulted in failure and accident.

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.

Consumer was pulling inside of a parking lot and the steering wheel failed to steer. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the solenoid switch needed to be replaced.

Steering column vibration: at 16562 miles dealer found dry intermediate steering shaft and performed bulletin#01-02-32-001b(lubricated intermediate steering shaft). Now at 33678 miles the problem is back. The fact that there is a service bulletin on this problem tells me that general motors is aware of this problems and as a result of searching this web sight I have found that I'm not the only one who has complained about this problem. This problem also is evident in the 2001 Chevrolet impola which is almost mechanically identical to the 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Because this problem concerns the steering of the vehicle general motors should recall these cars and fix the problem before it causes injury or death.

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.

Clunking noise when making a turn can also be felt through the steering column. The same thing can be felt at highway speeds.
