I own a 2004 Chevrolet silverado and feel that the steering system in these automobiles is a disaster waiting to happen. The steering wheel makes a clunking noise when turning. The noise seems to be most prevalent when driving on bumpy roads at low speeds. Do to the seriousness of a steering failure I feel that this should be recalled and fixed by gm immediately. .

I own a 2004 chevy silverado z71 4 wheel drive extended cab pickup. The steering shaft makes a rubbing, grinding sound when turning the wheel left or right. I took the truck to the dealer and they said they thought it was nothing to worry about but probably a bearing on the shaft. The truck was out of warranty and they would not cover it. I feel this is a safety issue as the steering shaft could fail while driving. The internet is full of people with the same complaint and fears. There seems to be no concern from general motors. I feel they should be forced to make good on this widespread defect.
