Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Multiple intermediate steering shaft failures over the years with loud clunking noises heard. This truck is lightly used and now has only 24,000 miles on it but it has just had the fourth shaft installed by the dealer?!?!”
NHTSA complaint #10706050, filed 2015-04, 7,476 miles“07 Gmc Sierra(new body style) was parked. When the truck was placed in reverse and the steering wheel slightly turned there was a loud pop underneath the front end. The right front wheel would not turn when turning the steering wheel but the left would. The truck was towed to a repair shop and was diagnosed that the inner tie rod became unscrewed from the rack steering. New inner and outer tie rods were installed and the truck was re-aligned. If this had happened while driving down an interstate it may have been disastrous.”
NHTSA complaint #10587555, filed 2014-05, 98,000 miles“The contact owns a 2007 Gmc Sierra. While backing out of a parking spot, the vehicle suddenly stopped. The passenger side wheel was unable to move; however, the driver's side wheel operated when the steering wheel was turned. The contact called a mechanic and was informed that the rack and pinion failed or the thread became loose. The vehicle was towed to a private mechanic for repair. The contact feels that this is a safety issue and the failure could have caused a crash had it occurred on the highway. The speed was unknown. The current mileage was 48,000 and failure mileage was 47,900.”
