Rattling noise in intermediate shaft of steering column and key tumbler is sticky

- Old Fort , NC, USA

While driving at any speed, steering wheel shakes, slightly, yet noticeably. Any speed. The shake is consistent, feels worse when turning or(drifting) right I on freeway. Have had steering gear box, pitman arm, and road force balancing performed, to no relief. Upon self inspection, left wheel seems (tighter) and not as loose to hand manipulation, right wheel is noticeably loose with slight noise indicative to a loose or worn tie rod. Vehicle was purchased new. It has been to 5 GM dealerships to attempt a fix of this problem. A lawsuit was finalized April 2019. GM was forced to compensate owner yet no fix was performed.

Doors continuously locking/unlocking, all dash lights continuously turning on/off, clock reset itself to 12:00, engine cutting in/out which also resulted in the loss of power steering and power brakes, all of which occurred while at freeway speed. I purchased the vehicle approximately a year and a half ago from a Chevrolet dealer in sacramento, ca. Since I've owned the vehicle there have been multiple occurrences of the clock resetting itself to 12:00, complete power loss when attempting to start the vehicle.
