| 2005 | STEERING | ON 8/29/09 I ASKED MY MECHANIC TO LISTEN TO THE CLUNKING SOUND MADE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED LEFT AND RIGHT. HE CHECKED AND SAID IT WAS THE RACK AND PINION. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND HAD 2 STEERING COLUMNS REPLACED AND THE STEERING SHAFT. NOW IT'S THE RACK AND PINION. THE ABOVE INCIDENTS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOT NOW. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS BUT THERE ARE NONE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING ON CAR STATS. CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE BY CHEVY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR |
| 2000 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH | WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNAL SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T. WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK THERE IS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING TO INDICATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TURN SIGNAL. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO WAS AWARE OF THE DEFECT. YET THERE WAS NO RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK RECALL #03V327000. *SC |
