Cluncking under hood felt in steering wheel. I have a 2001 tahoe with the exact problem. The steering gear must be defective and should be replaced by the manufacturer.

While driving through a parking lot lost complete steering control of vehicle. Took vehicle to dealer, and they stated that bolts that hold steering linkage to shaft of steering box broke. Please provide any further information.

When applying the brake the power assist steering fades to nothing after 1/8 turn making it almost impossible to manuver. The power steering pump and gearbox were replaced, the problem still exist . I have had the steering wheel jerk going around curves and having to apply the brake also. I believe this is a definite safety hazzard. Gm states that this is just caracteristic of this truck, I do not feel it makes it ok. Something needs to be re-engineered so that the power asist is at constant pressure. I am told by manufacturer that no one has been hurt so there is no problem. It should not come to that. If I, as a business owner produce a product that has a definite problem I cannot tell my customers that is just characteristic of my work, too bad, so why can gm do that? I would appreciate your assistance in reviewing this situation. Thank you, bruce a. Quigley.

When at a stop consumer cannot turn steering wheel to right unless there is momentum. This started happening approximately 2 weeks ago. Dealership could not reproduce this problem. Also, consumer was informed that this vehicle was not included in recall 98v242000 related to steering.

At approximately 24,000 miles the steering column developed a rattle that was louder when turning or driving on bumpy road. Dealership replaced the intermediate steering module at approximately 26,000 miles. The same behavior began occuring at approximately 50,000 miles. Mechanic indicates that the intermediate steering module has excessive play. Manufacturer does not acknowledge a problem, and I have stopped doing business with the dealership because of shody service.

Intermediate shaft on steering had to be replaced twic. . It caused vibration of steering column and noise while turning and during slowdown of vehicle. At this time part has to be replaced a third time.
