2015 Suburban LTZ - knocking noise in steering column

johnshoemaker · April 29, 2015

I continue to get a knocking noise in the steering column/ wheel when turning. Doesn't occur all the time but it does occur frequently. Also have drivers seat movement as discussed in other threads. Will be taking this to the dealership soon. $70k shouldn't have these types of issues.

Any update to this problem yet? I am experiencing the same issue with my '15 Suburban LTZ with 8700 mikes. It will be helpful to know what your dealer said before I take it to mine!

They are replacing the steering column. Of course the item is on back order, not sure when it will come in. Also the movement in the drivers seat was fixed when they replaced the drivers seat bottom frame.

Thanks. Would you be able to give me your dealership's name? I'd like to reference it, if possible, I get pushback from my dealer.

I'm experiencing the same issues with intermittent steering column knocking noise and also drivers seat movement on my 2015 LTZ with less than 15k miles on it.

The knocking noise in my steering column progressively got worse. It is actually in the shop today.

My So Cal dealer has also decided to replace the steering column because of this knocking problem. Ugh! I hope they get everything put back together properly!

I found out today from the dealer that the steering column is on national back order with no forecast on when the part will be available. You would think that someone could "acquire" one from the assembly plant in Arlington, TX and overnight it to the dealer!

They told me the same thing. They actually got the part within days.

Hey guys, I don't own an suv but I am looking into getting the wife one and was wondering if this issue is still happening out there. I do own a 14' Silverado and had that issue and was told it was due to bigger tires. I went from a 275 to 285, not a big difference at all. I did take it back in and was told gm was looking to resolve this issue but that was almost 3 months ago. I don't know if there's a thread on this in Silverado/Sierra forum, I was just on here seeing what issues these suv's have before I get my wife one.

Thanks

They wouldn't replace mine the second time.

They wouldn't replace mine the second time.

I am living in Saudi Arabia. I got it replaced with the language barrier

(I created a small scene )

You're lucky you are at home if I did it you surely can do it .

Good luck

I have a 2015 Tahoe LTZ with 12,000 miles. The knocking or clunking (audible and physical) in the steering wheel when turning began recently and seems to be occurring more frequently. I plan to take it to the dealership soon to let them check the problem. I will update accordingly. Thank you.
