The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado. While driving 5 mph, the steering column made a rattling noise and the vehicle shimmied. As the speed increased, the failure worsened. There was no steering loss or warning lights. The weather was not a factor. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The current mileage was 80,437 and failure mileage was 60,000.

Steering column intermediate shaft fails approximately every 30,000 miles. First failed at 30K, second 60K, third 100K. Failure starts with light clunking sound and progresses to loud clunk and looseness in steering wheel. The dealer and GM acknowledge a problem including even the 2005 models. The quality of steering fell gets quite vague if not replace before noise gets loud.
