| Description of the problem | I a 2005 chevy tahoe that has the 3rd steering ball joint mid shaft broken again. I had the last two repairs done and needs it again, this is a very known problem with these model vehicles and was told by the dealer that general motors is not going to do anything, i was told to deal with it. The fact is that this is a distraction to the driver when driving and in worry if the steering will become disabled when driving. This concern needs to be reviewed before an accident does happen. At this time the problem is only a distraction and feels unsafe when driving, but this needs to be investigated before an injury or death occurs for this common complaint by many chevy tahoe,sub,truck owners. |
