LOOSE STEERING AND LOOSE CLUNKING COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN. COMING OUT OF TURN I HEAR A NOISE NOT NORMAL AFTER TURNING AND THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE/FLOATY. I HAVE HAD THE NOISE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BUT NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING OF IT. HAD THE FRONT END CHECKED OUT AND THE STEERING LOOKED AT ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IT ALL CHECKED OUT OK. I STILL HAD THE CLUNKING AND LOOSENESS. I RECENTLY HAD A STEERING FLUID FLUSH AND CHECK AND ALL TURNED OUT WELL BUT THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING SHAFT IS FLOATING AND SNAPS BACK INTO PLACE AFTER THE TURN. *TR

ON 04-17-03 I WENT OUT TO DRIVE MY 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE. AS I BEGAN TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. AS THE VEHICLE ROLLED, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC . I ATTEMPTED TO START IT A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE NOTICING THAT GAS WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS AREA AND WAS POURING ONTO THE GROUND. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE GAS LINE BECAME DISCONNECTED. I HAD JUST LEFT MY SON IN SURGERY AND WAS TO COME BACK TO PICK HIM AND MY WIFE UP. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE BECOME VERY BAD AND KILLED MYSELF AND POSSIBLY MY FAMILY HAD THEY BEEN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND ACTION TAKEN....
