Consumer Description

POPPING NOISE FROM UNDER HOOD, MAINLY WHEN TURNING LEFT (HAS NOW STARTED WHEN TURNING RIGHT). ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. IT CAN ALSO BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. FEELS VERY UNSTABLE, LIKE FRONT-END COULD FALL APART AT ANY MINUTE. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN SINCE 2001 (NHTSA ITEM #10009991, #10010873, #10000950, #10004991, #1004239, #10005172, #10004723, AND FINALLY THEIR "FIX" #10025148) . HOWEVER, THEY ACT AS THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE (EDMUNDS.COM, YAHOO...JUST SEARCH FOR I-SHAFT ASSEMBLY) AND THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS GM/CHEVY/CADILLAC VEHICLES AND GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. THIS SITUATION IS AS-MUCH, IF NOT WORSE THAN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/DASHBOARD PANEL PROBLEMS, THAT GM HAS RECALLED. PLEASE, HELP THE MASSES WHO HAVE BEEN SOLD THIS DEFECT. BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
