I'm curious too.

 

my tech just called and informed me that the elusive sterring colum has arrived he said its about a two hour job wish me luck going to take it in tommorro

 

i called gm today and told them how i brought my car in to the dealership and how they replaced the intermediate shaft and then after that didn't fix the problem they said it was normal. Well the lady at gm said that the knock i'm describing does not sound normal to her and that i should bring my car back into the dealership, and if they say it's normal it needs to be documented on the computer. So i made a appointment for tomorrow, hopefuly the dealership doesn't give me a line of bullshit.

 

guys, do you think i should take out my subwoofer when i bring my car in tomorrow for the clunk?

 

good luck man

 

thanks, good luck to you to, hopefully the steerig column fixes the problem.

 

when replacing the steering column dont they have to take out the whole dashboard and steering wheel and what not?

 

Good luck. Let us know how it goes and if you could get a part# that would help us all out a lot. Thanks.

 

will do..... and over and out lol

 

tomorrow will be my second time bringing my car in for this problem, if on the third try it's still on not fixed whats the chance of getting rid of my car due to the lemon law?

 

I'll find out friday.

 

after a few hours at the dealership they said the intermediate shaft they replaced is defective and that gm has produced even a better updated shaft and will replace it again.. so hopefully this works.

 

Sweet that sounds good. I hope the new one fixes the problem. If we can get the new shafts part # we can all go to our dealerships and get this fixed. You know what it's like going in without a part number.

Ahhhh duhhhh I don't see it......

 

problem with rattle is done 4 times is a charm i guess heres the part number for the column they put on 10394224

 

I got the front stab shaft links replaced and my rattle is gone. But this was for the continuous clunking when just driving slow over little bumps and such.

 

you have to order the new steering cloumn at your local gm dealer they don't keep them in stock atleast ours dosn't and as far as putting it in they really arn't to hard to do you just have to watch that your steering wheel dosn't spin to much while your pulling it down because you run the risk of your air bag wire rapping up around the inside of the column and this is not a fake post i work at frederick chevrolet in lebanon PA Look it up its there

 

Sweet, thanks zzzzzzzz. We now have the part number. Lets all go and get this fixed.

Part# 10394224

 

just came back from the dealership.. this was the second time they replace the intermediate shaft and guess what... it's still doing the damn clunk noise.. So I called them back and now they want me to drop the car off tomorrow for the day and they'll get me a rental. The thing that sucks is my dad needs to sign for the rental so i won't be able to get it since he works in the afternoon. Oh and the people working on my car got grease all over my seats, doors, and even the lining of the roof of the car..

 

keep bringing it back untill they fix it like i did they are proably going to eventually going to give u a new column

 

well i hope they do

 

i'm going to be going on my third time trying to fix this clunk... what are the lemon laws in new york??

 

brought my car back again to the dealer today.. now they say the strut and strut mount are bad.. hopefully this will fix it.

 

i hope but i dought it its your sterring column dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i had the strut and strut mount put in.. the clunk is not as bad anymore but is still there, so i brought it back to them and now i have a rental car... This is my 4th time for this problem, can't i file a lemon claim?

 

Unfortunately you can't file a lemon claim, as the problem was never fixed to begin with. The problem has to occur 3 times in I believe a year or two period of time. Since they never really fixed the problem, it doesn't apply. Mine is also in for the 3rd time. They replaced the hubs and the noise went away for a day or two and is now back. They gave me a loaner car. They wanted to give me a Kia Sorrento, I laughed in there face, so I have a Bonneville. What a slug, and don't get me started on the handling. This car doesn't even have XM and I had to listen to talking this morning....They better get this problem fixed and soon. I am having XM withdrawals. I can't even listen to it over the internet at work.
