NHTSA Complaint #10217878 — 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THAT HAS PRESENTED A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED A MOANING NOISE THAT WAS PRESENT WHILE TURNING TO THE RIGHT. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER IN MY AREA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY PROBLEM WAS MY STEERING BOX WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I WENT AHEAD WITH THE SUGGESTED REPAIR. THIS HOWEVER DID NOT FIX MY PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK, THEY EXAMINED IT AND TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AS IT WAS LEAKING AND THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. I DID AS SUGGESTED BUT STILL NOT FIXED. MIND YOU THIS WAS AT 50,000 MILES. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK, EXAMINED IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH TIE ROD ENDS AND THE IDLER ARM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SO I DID AS SUGGESTED. STILL NOT FIXED. I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN, THEY EXAMINED IT, AND BY THIS TIME THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE, LOUDER NOISE ETC. THEY SAID, WELL THE POWER STEERING CONTROL VALVE NEEDED REPLACEMENT, I AGREED, THEY SAID THIS WOULD DO IT. THE DEALER FIXED HALF OF IT. NOW I HAVE A HIGH PITCHED NOISE UNDER THE HOOD AND THE REMEDY FOR THAT IS TO REPLACE THE STEERING BOX THAT I REPLACED 30,000 MILES PRIOR. I NEEDED TO HAND OVER MORE MONEY AND IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS I GO THROUGH TWO STEERING BOXES, SO I CALLED CHEVY AND ASKED THEM IF MAYBE THEY WOULD HELP WITH THE BILL, THEY AGREED TO PAY A PORTION, BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY GOOD ENOUGH IN MY BOOK. IF THEY CANT STAND BEHIND A STEERING BOX FOR 30,000 MILES WHAT'S NEXT. THE DEALER HAS ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS DOES EFFECT MY BRAKING AS WELL AS THE TRUCK IDLING IRREGULARLY. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH CHEVROLET AND GM. WHEN I WANTED TO TAKE THIS TO THE NEXT STEP WITH THE COMPANY, THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD NOT SPOIL A GOOD DEAL THAT THEY ARE OFFERING, AND IF I DO TAKE IT HIGHER I WAS ADVISED THEY MIGHT NOT BE SO KIND TO ME. WHAT A DEAL!! *TR
