Seven problems related to steering have been reported for the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
It's make a weird sound when turning the abs indicator light is on ther dash stationary I came outside to start up the vehicle is noticed a liquid leaking from underneath.
"reduced engine power" light comes on and truck slows to less than 10 mph and the power steering stop working. This has happened six times in the last year. 1st incident I took it to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong with it. Diagnostics performed and nothing came back wrong. I think the wiring to the throttle is possibly to blame. If I hit a bump in the road or cross railroad tracks, the reduced engine power can come on. I have a hunch after researching online & finding that several other people have the same problem, that leads me to believe that chevy knows about it & is doing nothing about it. "typical"!! I am very displeased, especially because I love my Suburban. I suggest an investigation & recall of this problem. I ask that chevy takes responsibility for poor quality & repairs the problem pronto! OH, and the power seating fuse caught fire and exploded the little fuse in the fuse box, now the seats won't work & neither does the passenger side windows. The wiring done on this truck is cheap! the parts are cheap! not a happy customer!.
Intermediate steering shaft needs replacing again. This will be the 4th time that it has to be replaced. 24,451mi, 26,094mi, and 65,655mi. You start to hear a clunking noise when turning or slight movement of steering wheel. Has more play then usual as well. Gm should be forced to replace these as they know it is a known problem.
The steering shaft needed to be replaced because the ability to maintain control of the vehicle was difficult. The manufacturer was contacted by consumer and was aware of the problem. Shaft was replaced.
I have a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban that has a steering /clunking noise in the intermediate steering shaft. I have called many dealers and they said it is a known problem and the parts are on order, I checked other customer complaint sites and many people have been waiting for the parts for over 6 months. My dealer told me he has a list of people that have been waiting for over 4 months. Has anything been done about this problem or is gm disregarding the defect in the parts. When will my Suburban be fixed, if at all ?.
The consumer is experiencing problems with the steering wheel. When driving, the vehicle will jerk to the right. Owner has contacted the dealer and was told that the parts needed to repair the defect are on back order. Provide further details.
