STEERING RATTLE


Recommended Posts

Posted

ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT MY TRUCK, I NOTICED A RATTLE THAT FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING. WELL IT WENT AWAY. NOW IT IS BACK. IT'S LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. I HAVE FELT EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE TIGHT. IT EVEN HAPPENS WHEN I AM ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT, BUT I REALLY NOTICE IT WHEN A MAKE A TURN. ANY IDEAS OF WHAT IT COULD BE? :)

Go to the dealer and they'll know what to do. The intermediate steering shaft more than likely needs to be repacked---a warranty issue.

 

And, turn off your ALL-CAPS. Makes it appear as if you are shouting at us. :smash:

Yep!!! Intermediate steering shaft is the problem... It is covered under a TSB, and the dealer should take care of it assuming you are still under warranty. I had to have mine fixed for my truck...

I had to take mine to to shop twice. The frist time they delt with the steering shaft. After about 3 months it was back. the second time, they said there was a PI(what ever that is) and they had to pull the steering unit and replace the bearings. works great now and it was covered under warenty, Hope that helps Chris

    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
