Steering Noise Problems of GMC Sierra 1500

The vehicle was in motion and when traveling (in motioni) at a low speed turning left with a sharp left turn there is a popping noise in the steering column section that you can both hear and feel. In fact, there has been occasion when it appeared to me that the steering wheel appeared to somewhat stick or briefly freeze, again in this left a hard left turn at a slow speed. I took this vehicle to the local gm dealer today, the service manager evidenced the same issue; although, he did not know what is causing the problem suggesting that I return the vehicle for their service and review over a day when I can leave the vehicle with them.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500. While driving 10 mph, the contact pulled into his driveway and heard an abnormal noise coming from the steering wheel. The contact took the vehicle to garber Buick GMC (5255 us-1, fort pierce, FL 34982, (772)467-0835) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that an investigation would take place to determine the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,548.

When the vehicle had less than 10,000 miles I brought it to the dealer to inspect the steering because of a binding/clunking noise while turning the steering wheel at a stop or slow speed. The dealership was unable to locate the noise at that time. Around 17. 000 miles, the noise had gotten worse and they were able to locate it and replaced the steering box as well as the rack and pinion steering. Again, a little after 30,000 miles the noise was back but intermittent. The dealership did not hear it and said the steering was fine. Yesterday, with 40,000 miles, the dealership said the steering gear box needed to be replaced again as something is binding inside on the replacement steering box. Gm is denying this issue yet my research shows many people with the 2014 GMC sierra have or have had this problem. The one technician even told me his steering gear box on his 2014 1500 sierra had the same problem and compley failed. My research shows that this electronic gear box was introduced in 2014 and changed for a different steering box in 2015 models. An apparent acknowledgment of the problem.

2003 GMC half ton sierra truck. 3 time since 2003 that I've had to take it in for clunking noise felt thru steering wheel. Lubed a couple times then replaced the intermediate steering shaft. Still no guarantees that it won't happen again. Also very hard to steer when braking and brakes don't respond well when applied quickly. The first time the intermediate steering shaft needed attention the truck only had 15,000 miles on it. The second time was 30,000 miles and the last time was 45,000 miles and occurred in March 2010.

Clunking noise and vibration in steering column at low speeds on bumpy roads, especially when turning corners. Feels like serious front-end mechanical problems. Current mileage on my 2003 GMC sierra is 60,000. I learned from gm that the intermediate steering shaft had already been replaced at 24,000 miles under warranty, but it needed replacing again. $207 for new shaft and $92 labor. New, improved part # is 19153614. If gm knew the original shaft was defective, why didn't they have to recall it?.

They should have upgraded the parts on the new truck because they knew they were failing. Gm knew the joints were failing and kept using a failing part for 4 years on new trucks and expect the owners to pay for bad parts.
