| Description of the problem | i have a 2004 chevy tahoe that has 98000 mile, im 2nd owner. The steering intermediate shaft was making a clunking and knocking noise, which come to find out has been a known problem with general motors. I contacted my local dealer and they told me that there is a new gm rep and she will not allow anymore good faith repairs. I am so disappointed in gm for letting something like this happen. They preach that they have the best vehicles. What bothers me the most is that they were replacing the intermediate steering shafts for a while, because they knew there was a problem, now all of a sudden they wont! That's bull !@#$. I will do everything in my power to get reimbursed. 182. 00 is not alot to gm but it is alot to me. Can someone please help me in what i should do. |
