Tl*the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that there was a loose, knocking feeling as he turned his steering wheel multiple times. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer twice and was informed that it was an ongoing failure and all they could do was to grease the steering shaft. The dealer also stated that it was just a temporary repair and would have to take the vehicle back periodically for relubrication. The purchase date was unknown. The current mileage was 81,000 and failure mileage was 15,000.

Potential safety problem with steering shaft on 2000-2005 chevy trucks. I have had my steering worked on twice to solve a knocking in the column. Gm dealerships say if it goes unrepaired there could be a potential failure in the steering shaft. There are many complaints on the internet about this all you have to do is google "chevy steering problems". Dealer repair service says there is no fix and you have to bring it in every 20,000 to 30,000 miles and have it repaired at a cost of 100 dollars to 500 dollars. Something needs done about this before someone gets hurt from this. There should be a recall just for the fact that it is costing everyone that has purchased a chevy truck to fix the problem over and over again.

I have a 2003 chevy silverado. I bought the truck last year. From the first day that I bought the truck, I heard a ticking coming from the dashboard. About a month ago, I noticed that my speedometer was very erratic and then completely stopped working. Also, the electric mirror has quit working along with the seat belt sensors.

Steering column - the column makes a knocking noise. I can also feel the knocking within the steering wheel. The bushing was replaced while still under warranty. Now this same problem has come up again. It went away for 6 months or so and has been back every since.

Consistent knocking noise coming from the steering column. The dealer has regreased the shaft twice with special grease and on the third attempt replaced the whole shaft with an updated version. In less than six months the shaft has begun to knock again.

My husband owns a 03 silverado c1500. I drive it to save on gas. I have tried coming to a stop before, and had the pedal all the way to the floor, I almost missed my turn. I scared me because I know you do not need that much pressure on brakes to stop. The biggest problem I have is everytime I make a left turn, there is a knocking noise in the front end. We thought is was the shroud cover, but was not. It is now getting louder, and I would like to find out if this is being investigated for a recall for both the brakes and the knocking noise? Thanks in advance for the help!
