The steering wheel and column started with a slight rattling when on a road with bumps. It has now become very loud and raised a safety concern. The dealer has done an inspection and advised replacement of bearing and bushing. This is a safety concern!.
Steering column making rumbling sounds. Recall by nhsta posted on internet, however, manufacture states there are no recalls of such. Truck is just out of 3 year warranty. Manufacturer needs to address this problem with all 2005 models in this class. This is a safety issue according to the NHTSA due to a possible loss of steering while driving. The manufacturer should be made to fix this problem permanently, and not just temporarily like I have heard from others having this problem. The dealers charge for a fix and the problem just comes back after a short period of time. This should definitely be a recall by Chevrolet and gm and they should be made to fix it permanently. If my steering goes away, and a crash follows, they will not have to worry about fixing the problem, they will have to worry about being sued.
Problem began with "clunking"noise and rattle in steering column which became progressively worse. Took to dealer, and they replaced the intermediate steering shaft with the note on the repair order"lack of lube in splines". Cost $204. 01. This is a 2005 Chevrolet silverado pick-up truck with 57,000 miles; is that the best they can build them?.
Knocking in steering column. The dealer fixed it once under warranty, but now it's back and dealer is quoting $270 for 'temp' repair, and claims there is no permanent repair for it??.
