One problem related to steering failed has been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2002 chevy Silverado truck has steering popping. Repaired once under warranty. Now I am having the same problem. The truck only has 36,000 miles and is in great shape otherwise. I researched online and found out that others were having the same problem over and over. This could become a serious problem if the steering fails. G. M. Should recall this and take care of keeping their customers safe.
