STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY STEERING GETS VERY LOOSE, AND WHEEL FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO COME OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY FOR REPAIRS, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. LATER, AFTER THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE OWNER FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, THE STEERING POSITION SENSOR. DEALER NOT WILLING TO MAKE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS DETECTED BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. MANUFACTURER AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAS DESIGNED A MODIFIED SENSOR TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK

#720772March 29, 2000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN PLACED IN 4WD MODE THE TRUCK MAKES A GROANING/MOANING NOISE AT APPROX 9 MPH ON. IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED THE TRUCK JERKS AND SHUDDERS. THIS HAPPENS ON DRY PAVEMENT AND SHEET ICE, WE DRIVE ON BOTH A LOT UP HERE IN ALASKA. I HAVE A LOT OF PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH 4X4 VEHICLES AND THIS IS ABNORMAL TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED GMC. THE SERVICE MGR TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TALKED WITH A "BOB" AT "TAN" AND GOT NO ASSISTANCE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR ALL 4X4 TRUCKS. THE DEALER AGREES WITH ME THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE IS THE THIRD TRUCK IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ALL WITH NO HELP FROM GMC. THE DEALERS SOLUTION IS TO NOT USE 4WD UNLESS ABSOLUTELY VITAL. BUT 4WD IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL DRIVING ON THE ROADS HERE IN ALASKA MOST ALL WINTER, AND PART OF SPRING. THE ERRATIC CONTROL FEEL IS VERY BOTHERSOME AND I BELIEVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! *AK

SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, STEERING:LINKAGES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER, STEERING:LINKAGES:ARM:IDLER AND ATTACHMENT, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CHEVROLET TRUCK. AT 31,000, MILES THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS WENT BAD. AT 41,000 MILES THE BRAKE MASTER CYLENDER AND PITTMAN ARM AND IDLER ARM ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BEING THAT IT WAS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD, I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A CHEVEROLET DEALER INCURRING THE COST MYSELF. AT 49,000 MILES THE REAR U JOINT NEEDED REPAIR. AT THIS POINT, I STARTED TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS MORE TO THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK AS THESE PARTS DO NOT USUALLY NEED REPAIR AT SUCH LOW MILAGE. TO TOP IT OFF, AT 51,000 THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED.
