The steering is extremely lose where I can turn the wheel almost half way before it turns the tires. The headlights move constantly after being adjusted and make it nearly impossible to see at night. The 4wheel drive box is constantly throwing the truck into 4wheel auto and 4wheel low without warning, whatcha is very dangerous when entering the interstate

When pulling in my driveway the brake lights came on and the brake pedal went clear to the floor. Upon investigating I found the brake lines to be severely corroded. I was fortunate not to be driving at a faster rate of speed on the open road. That same week the steering had become very difficult to turn like it was low on fluid, which it was not. I have also had to have both front wheel bearings replaced along with the computer at 400 miles.

Sometimes steering is hard to steer as if it has no power steering. Installed new power steering pump cleaned all lines & installed new fluid. Have had front end checked twice. Two different mechanics, cannot find any problems. Problem happens very often.

Recently, I spent three days performing preventive maintenance on my 2005 gmc sierra and found two primary issues that shouldn't be occurring on this young of a vehicle. The first was rotted sections of brake line (supposed to be stainless steel) in the rear of the vehicle (the main line that comes back from the master cylinder) and the second issue was a leaking seal in the power steering pump. There is a considerable number of people with the same problem who have qualified for a recall or work to be done under a technical bulletin, but apparently my VIN lies outside of the acceptable range.

I own a 2005 gmc sierra pick-up truck. Somewhere in the steering column there is a clunking noise whenever you turn the steering wheel. I contacted gmc and they stated they were not aware of any problem, however I could take it to a gmc dealer and have it evaluated for about $100.00. I contacted 2 independent service shops and both stated that is a problem with the gmc's and is caused by movement inside the steering shaft. They would not commit to state that it is a safety hazard, however it does concern me. Since gmc is not concerned, I felt you should be aware of this problem.

At about 30,000 miles I noticed a clunking in my steering column. I have had the front end check everything is tight. I was told it is in the steering column.
