This last October 2012, I had an opportunity to drive my wife's vehicle and noticed a floating sensation in the steering when driving straight making it somewhat difficult to maintain lane position due to over steering back and forth when trying to compensate for float. I then noticed a clunking sound when turning the steering wheel to the left or right when stopped and at slower speeds. I took the car to my mechanic he said that it seemed to be the steering intermediate shaft. I then brought the vehicle to the Chevrolet dealer we bought it from to have them inspect it. They confirmed it was the shaft. I was told that the part was around $350. I then contacted gm headquarters questioning the safety of this problem and was told that this is a normal wear and tear item and they would not be able to provide any assistance with the repair. This is the first vehicle of owning many various manufacturers has ever had this issue. Are intermediate steering shafts normal wear and tear parts? does this part need to fail and cause a fatal accident before a recall is necessary??? recently Toyota recalled millions of their vehicles with similar problems.

This is the 4th time the vehicle shuts off in the middle of turning.

There has been several times I will be driving and with no warning the steering locks up and it makes a noise like the traction control does when it comes on and its like I am slamming on the breaks but I am not. I took it to a certified chevy technician three times now and I am taking it back tomorrow for a fourth time. I have two children and it is very dangerous I feel it should be investigated and recalled before some one gets hurt or worse dies. I also replaced the sensor. That did not do a thing other than cost me a lot of money.
