Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I noticed that the steering colomn was wobbleing from below the adjustment for the tilt wheel. As I continued to drive the vehicle over the next month the steering wheel wobbled noticeably more. The vehicle was becoming difficult to steer and control through traffic and on the highway as the steering colomn wobble increased. I took the truck to beach city Chevrolet for repairs. I was told by the repair advisor that this was a common problem with Chevrolet trucks. I feel this is could have been very dangerous condition if I had been in an accident by losing control the my vehicle.”
