“The consumer stated he experienced the same problem as stated in recall number 03v527000/steering gear bearings. Upon turning the steering wheel at low speeds, it became difficult. Also, there was a popping noise when turning the steering wheel. Please provide any further information.”
NHTSA complaint #10103439, filed 2004-12, 150,000 miles“Air bag light came on in instrument panel indicating failure. The wiring harness on the tilt wheel broke (fatugued). Dealer said that I used the tilt mechanism too much and that it was not intended to be used each entry/exit. I commented that this assembly should have been designed to prevent this type of failure since the air bag operation was impaired by it. Dealer disagreed, refused to contact Chevrolet in my behalf and charged me over $240.00 to replace the part. This is a very critical assembly and never should have failed from use in this manner. …”
