“The contact owns a 2003 Gmc Truck. The contact heard a clicking noise coming from the left side of the vehicle. The sound is similar to that of a shock that has failed. The failure occurred one year after the vehicle was purchased. The rack and pinion has been replaced five times. The bearings and shocks have also been replaced. Over one year later, the failure has recurred. The dealer has made nine unsuccessful attempts to diagnose the cause of failure. Gm stated that the failure could be related to the steering gears and advised the dealer to replace them instead of looping the gears. …”
