Clunking noise in steering wheel.. Local aaa repair center gave me a service bulletin listing this as a problem with the steering intermediate shaft in various gm models since 2000. The above mentioned shaft was replaced and the clunking went away I have the replaced shaft gm's original fix was a lube kit(which did not last) then they listed a new "fix" change the shaft. I would like to know if the federal safety agency has reviewed this problem since this is a part in the steering wheel and problems were identified in the 2000 year models? Why wasn't there a recall on this?

Clunking noise from the steering column. Service writer took the info & an hour later informed me that problem was fixed and I owed $108.00!!!! No communication, no estimate, no nothing but this charge, even though I have an extended warranty and gm knows about this problem. Said they lubed a neoprene seal on the intermediate shaft of the steering column.
