| Steering problems |
The lower steering shaft is making a noise. Took to a repair center and show the shat needs to be lubed it makes a creaking noise when driving over humps and also the slip yoke in the rear of the truck when coming to a stopped position the drive haft moves and back and it feels as if you was being bumped from the rear of the vehicle. The two issues are found all over the web reporting these issues and GMC as not identified or resolved these issues especially on these models.
Driving home, the spindle arm broke, causing the tires to lose steering ability, leading to the loss of control and the truck going into pensacola bay. No airbag deployment. Driver knocked unconscious.
