Consumer Description

TRUCK HAD LESS THEN 25,000 MILES WHEN I NOTICED A 'LOOSE FEELING' IN THE STEERING WHEN MAKING TURNS AND A DISCERNIBLE BUMPING. I FOUND THAT THERE IS A TSB ON IT(CHEVY TSB 00-02-35-003A) AND HAD IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY- BUT FROM DOING RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THAT THIS FIX IS A 'BAND-AID' AND THEY REALLY SHOULD REPLACE THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WITH AN IMPROVED MODEL. CONCERN: VERY DISTRACTING AND CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT MAKE ME IGNORE A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM- SUCH AS 'LOOSE LUG NUTS' OR SOMETHING ELSE IN THE FUTURE (THINKING IT IS JUST THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRING WHEN IT IS REALLY A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM). *JB
