Popping noise in steering column. Returned to dealer as it was still under warranty. They concluded that it would be a one time repair to re-lube the steering column.I was led to believe they had a special lube that would cure the problem. Vehicle did fine for about 15000 miles and the noise has returned. Have had the front end aligned since the original tires (Firestone) wore out prematurely. Can't seem to keep it aligned.
Transmission shifting hard, only 26,000 miles. Ttook to dealership and was told second and third gear was gone. They rebuilt those gears. Pick Tahoe up and within a hr it was doing the same thing. Return to dealership next day, was told it was pump sticking. Replace that. Pick back up and within a hr did the same thing. Return vehicle and they decided to replace for new transmission. A week later it has now starting to have a problem with the power sterring. There appears to be a leak in the lines. This 2002 Tahoe has had problems starting within months of purchase. Sterring colum making clunking nose, required lube twice. Headlights filling with water. Nose in the front drivers side around shock area. They had different repairs such as replacing shocks, greasing. After over a year the dealership added bushings to the shocks, so far ok. Have replace Firestone tires at 25,000 miles for wearing on inside of tire.
Popping noise heard in steering since three weeks of purchase. Dealer originally advised it was normal on new vehicles and needed to "work out the kinks." Taken in for repairs. First repair attempt, dealer found excessive play in lower ball joints and replaced both. Picked U vehicle and immediately heard popping noise again. Dealer then performed second repair attempt by finding center cross member and ride height bushings in need of lubing. Popping noise recurred within month of picking up vehicle after second repair attempt. Service mgr took test drive and heard popping noise. Now states he cannot recreate and knows something is wrong but not sure what.
Consumer states that while driving and no warning the steering wheel will pull to the right and it will be hard for the consumer to control the vehicle. Dealer notified.
