Consumer Description

BUICK MADE NOISE WHEN TURNING A CORNER WITH AROUND 30,000 MILES ON CAR. THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH CURED THE PROBLEM. IT COULD HAVE BEEN LUBRICATED INSTEAD, BUT THIS WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. THERE IS A BULLETIN ON THIS DEFECT, BUT WE FEEL THAT GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS MODEL, RATHER THAN LUBRICATING THE SHAFTS UNTIL THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THIS NOISE HAD BEEN NOTICED LONG BEFORE THIS; HOWEVER IT DIDN'T ALWAYS OCCUR EVERY CORNER SO HAD TO WAIT UNTIL IT WAS ONGOING TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. *TR
