Potential safety problem with steering shaft on 2000-2005 chevy trucks. I have had my steering worked on twice to solve a knocking in the column. Gm dealerships say if it goes unrepaired there could be a potential failure in the steering shaft. There are many complaints on the internet about this all you have to do is google "chevy steering problems". Dealer repair service says there is no fix and you have to bring…

There is a clunking noise in the steering shaft. The dealer would grease the shaft and the noise would go away for awhile. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty, they said there is nothing they can do. This part is defective and should be replaced on all affected vehicles. *tr

Steering column shaft is poorly designed, and degrades quickly. Maintenance must be done frequently by an experienced technician, thus making it very expensive. Lubricating the shaft only works temporarily. The shaft required replacement before 70,000 miles. *tr

Consistent knocking noise coming from the steering column. The dealer has regreased the shaft twice with special grease and on the third attempt replaced the whole shaft with an updated version. In less than six months the shaft has begun to knock again. *nm

I have a constant problem with the steering column on my 2003 chevy silverado 1500 z71. It is alway vibrating and cluncking. I bring it into for service and after about 4-6 months i am in there again for the same problem. The service dept. Stated they are aware of problem but have no fix but to grease part. Unacceptable. How can you know of a bad part and charge customer to temporarily fix problem. Wonder what else…

Steering column - the column makes a knocking noise. I can also feel the knocking within the steering wheel. The bushing was replaced while still under warranty. Now this same problem has come up again. It went away for 6 months or so and has been back every since. *jb

Abs Warning Light · Anti-Theft Devices · Column · Parking Brake · Transfer Case (4-Wheel Drive)
Five times truck (17 months old and 21000 miles) has been to dealerships for "service [redacted]" message center indicator, abs light, parking brake light, alarms, and inoperable. Also problems with clanking felt through the steering wheel. Every time truck was "fixed" by replacing/reprogramming the transfer case module, and lubing of steering column (which manufacture indicates was a poor lube job at construction).…
