There was a clunking/clicking noise and feeling when turning the steering wheel either to the left or right (more pronounced when turning right). Felt like the steering was slipping, ever-so-slightly.
Found the following Technical Service Bulletin by doing some research online: TSB Number: 070235005 - Steering clunk noise felt, heard from steering column. Solution: Replace I-shaft
Printed it out and took it in-hand to the local Chevy dealer, who replaced the Intermediate Steering Shaft (covered under standard warranty). Noise and clunking disappeared.
According to Impala owners on online forums, Chevy has known about this design defect for a while, but chooses to replace them as the problem arises rather than redesign the entire assembly.
