Consumer Description

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 IT IN EVERY 20,000 TO 30,000 MILES AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF 100 DOLLARS TO 500 DOLLARS. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL JUST FOR THE FACT THAT IT IS COSTING EVERYONE THAT HAS PURCHASED A CHEVY TRUCK TO FIX THE PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN. *TR
