1 Steering Rack And Pinion problem

Failure Date: 03/26/2019

While driving and making turns made a really loud popping noise, took to a mechanic and the rack and pinion are coming apart. Done research and found bulletin 14204b and it is exactly what is going on with my truck but the VIN doesn't come back. I have kids and this is not anything to take lightly per the recall and the mechanic. If it is same as what recall is why isn't this truck included???? took to local chvrolet dealership and they even said same thing.

6 Steering Rack And Pinion problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2018

Bought a used 2014 Silverado 1500 4x4 with 22k miles and one previrus owner. I had no issues at first but the dealer made me aware of a recall gm had out where they would reprogram the power steering to prevent a possible issue of power steering loss at slow speeds. I took the truck in to the chevy dealer and had the "reprogram" done. After that I started having a popping in the steering column at extremely low speed or while stationary when the wheel was turned. A few months later the popping stopped and one evening I start my truck and the electric power steering is not working. The next day I start my truck and the power steering is working fine. I run an errand and as I'm coming home the power steering goes out while I'm turning at a slow speed also nearly causing a wreck with another car. Dealer won't admit to the problem being a part of the recall because of the lift on my truck and then over quoted me by $500 for the fix ($2900 total and $2200 for the part). Just had a new rack and pinion installed for $2535. 11 and the part alone was $1859 from another dealer. The mechanic told me the part has since (the recall) been "remanufactured" which leads me to believe that gm realized there was a problem and they fixed it quietly on the assembly line rather than make it right with their customers.

8 Steering Rack And Pinion problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2017

Started experiencing a popping sound and popping /clicking feeling in the steering wheel when driving at slow speeds ,when turning the steering wheel in either direction. This would usually occur in tight spaces such as parking lots ,gas stations etc. And after the truck was driven for awhile ,20 plus miles after a few weeks started noticing that front tires were wearing rapidly and click/popping sound had progressed and so we scheduled appointment with dealership, and met with service tech ,after a brief diagnosis I was informed that it was a faulty rack and pinion and would need to be replaced, this is a major disappointment on a fairly new truck with less then 68000 miles.

The truck at low speeds you can here the steering make popping sounds when turning and occasionally it would be extremely loud like something snapped off. Took it to dealership and they said that the power steering had a bad bushing and had to replace the rack and pinion and steering gear box. This was at 19000 miles. Now the truck is doing the same thing again.
