Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GREASE AND CAUSES THE STEERING TO STIFFEN UP WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST FIVE TIMES FOR THE STEERING SHAFT TO BE RE-GREASED, BUT THAT HAS NOT REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT FEELS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE STEERING STIFFENS AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.
