Continuing problem with the steering shaft of my 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe. Steering shaft and front end "popping" and looseness continue even after replacement. Dealerships know about this problem and have been instructed by GM service to no longer replace the steering shaft as this "fix" is not working. They are currently unsure how to fix the problem. In the mean time owners have a vehicle that drives as if it is going to fall apart in the front end. The Tahoe handles badly over rough road and cornering making it difficult to steer at times especially at hi-way speed.
The steering made popping noises and the steering felt loose. The dealer replaced the steering shaft and front suspension. The vehicle rolled over twice and the air bags did not deploy.
1. knocking in front end, intermittent steering shaft is out. I have been on waiting list since September 2003 and still not fixed.(in a wreck this component is what keeps the steering rod from projecting into the cab; per Chevrolet mechanic). 2. Sept. 2003 transmission: Grinding/vibrating sound in the middle of vehicle (think this is my torque converter), neutral position from a complete stop and while driving. Been in shop on 2 occasions and still not fixed, mechanic says the vehicle computer doesn't show any problems, so they won't fix it! 3.front differential leaking. Jan. 2004 to be fixed when steering shaft gets fixed! 4. passenger heaters come on by themselves. Nov. 2003 still not fixed 5. front driver's seat won't hold memory settings. Nov. 2003 still not fixed.
Steering wheel feels loose. Thumping noise from stering wheel. Also loud cracking noise from front suspension when turning in driveway. Loud cracking noise from lower front windshield especially at freeway speeds.
