RE: Knocking in Steering Column - 7/31/2007 4:44:23 AM    bonsolada   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/31/2007 Status: offline I have a 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo with the same knocking/vibration issue in the steering column.  I have only had the car 4 1/2 years and have had to have the grease kit done twice.  It lasts about 1.5 years for me as I put a lot of miles on my car.  It costs me $150.00 every time I have to have it done and I think that the GM dealership should do this for free as it is a commonly known problem in the design of the vehicle.  It is doing it again now and I have to take my car in for the grease kit once again.  I am very disgusted with Chevy for not owning up to this and making the customer pay for their mistake.  _____________________________ CHEVY needs to own up to this.

RE: Knocking in Steering Column - 8/6/2007 8:09:33 AM    bonsolada   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/31/2007 Status: offline I took my 2002 Monte Carlo to the dealership this weekend  to get the grease kit done for the clunking and knocking in the steering column (once again) and they decided to replace the steering shaft with a new one that supposedly does not have the flaw that causes the cover to slip off and loose the grease.  This cost me $300.00 to have done.  I have 150.00 in two grease jobs and now 300.00 for a new steering shaft (that is 600.00 total) for a problem that GM is well aware of and will not do a recall on.  I have written to General motors and expressed my dissapointment with them over this issue. _____________________________ CHEVY needs to own up to this.

If everyone here and any of our buddies do enough complaining maybe it will get the recall faster. (in reply to dmett41691) Post #: 34

Alldata is very useful with recalls and TSB,s . If you need more info contact me I will let you know what info I have. (in reply to mcollins323) Post #: 35
