2003 Chevrolet Silverado Steering Problems

“4x4 not working, charcoal canister, cd-player 3 times, complete new brake system from rotors,seals,caliperes etc. That I paid for $1,000., window regulator, door latches, noise coming from the steering area, dash peeling apart, chapman chevy replaced all four tires twice within 50,000 miles-I finally went and spent $1,200 on new tires to make sure my family and I our safe”

“I am complaining of the insufficent lube in the intermediate sterring shaft in a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2wd. A loud poping comes from the steering wheel as you turn. I have found many other vehicles similar to mine having the same problem and wish GM would do a recall.”
