Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Steering was making a whining sound when turning the wheel. This happened within 3 months of purchase of the vehicle. Since it was under warranty, chevy "fixed" the problem. 2 years later after the "fix" the steering is again making the whining sound when turning the wheel. The vehicle is no longer under warranty. We haven't yet had chevy look at the problem again, but judging by the other complaints in the nhtsa database, we will likely have to shell out over $1000 to get this problem fixed again. |
